  1. Hong Kong? Cowboy stadium? Clearly you've never experienced the views of incredibly-scenic Buena Park from the peak of Xcelerator's top hat. Now that's a view...

     

    In all seriousness, probably the best view I've had from a ride, albeit a non-coaster, is the view from the top of Marineland's S&S tower, with the view of the falls. If you squint hard enough, you can even count all off the cheesy tourist traps lingering on the Canadian side!

  2. I personally haven't, but one of my good friends did it every year at SWSD and eventually did counselor-in-training work there. Based on what she said, it's an incredible experience for the kids, considering that there's a lot of great animal interaction opportunities alongside the normal camp activities like arts and crafts and games. From what she said, they're outside pretty often, either in the park or playing games. As far as rides go, she mentioned that they weren't doing them all that often. but they were in the park pretty often with the animals.

     

    Based on what she's told me of her experiences, I'd assume that the day camps that they offer are highly-recommended.

  3. Well, it's been a little while since I advertised a park over here, and if any of y'all have been over to NE, I'm sure you're aware of the new park I'm advertising over there, Busch Gardens Asia. Like Six Flags Santa Fe, this park is essentially another go at an earlier concept, and like SFSF, the earliest iteration was advertised here as well, at: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=46736&p=649745&hilit=busch+gardens+asia#p649745.

     

    Here's a collection of screens from the newest version, some of which were posted already in the Preview topic, but put here for organization's sake.

     

     

     

     

     

    Expect more in the weeks/months to come. Enjoy!

  4. It's been a dry year for me.

     

    --I started off with a New Year's Day trip to Knotts with a really good friend. It was pretty empty and I got plenty of re-rides on the top coasters at the park.

     

    --Canada's Wonderland in the late summer, before I headed back to school... It was really packed, but I still managed to re-ride Behemoth a few times and got on Windseeker. A pretty low-key day due to me going solo.

     

    Now that I'm back in NOLA, it's difficult getting out to any park without considerable planning and a good drive; I miss having parks be 30 minutes away.

  5. The archy looks fantastic! I'd recommend possibly adding some overhanging roofs for shading opportunities. I'd also break up that plaza with a fountain or planter of some sort, both to break up monotony and to create a more intimate scale. Finally, the path blends in with the rock texture of the right-most structure. I'd either change the path or add a trim to indicate the difference in materials.

     

    Other than those small nitpicks, it's fantastic. I can't wait to see more!
