Carousel refurb is very exciting. Long overdue, glad they were able to make it happen this year.

Bye

 

Sorry for the sideways pic

 

That signage doesn't exactly lend itself to a great deal of excitement. "Please be patient while we evaluate potential replacement rides"? That sign should read something like "Pardon our progress! We're making way for an exciting new attraction!" That's what the Aquaman signage read at SFOT.

It’s not the 2021 ride location so no need to hype.

 

Okay okay... it's the location of the Station of our next Coaster right??? haha

[RollerManic]

^Nope. But in this case that’s a good thing.

The station for our next coaster is already built, The Boss is just using it right now (I wish)

Is the show at the entrance at closing time new? I know it didn't exist the first two years but I don't remember being up there at close last year.

 

There have definitely been lighting upgrades around most of the park. But wow does this make the area around American Thunder and Moon Cars stick out. American Thunder's superstructure isn't lit up, at least not yet, as has been done in the past. The building across doesn't have lights on it. They don't appear to be using the lights in the red white and blue garland, there are just the lighted stars overhead. The decorations basically begin at Log Flume. I didn't get a photo of the Thunder area, wish I would have.

 

Rather than bog down the forum with multiple photos here's the link to the set from last night.

I still think SFSL wears HITP well.

[prozach626]

We were less than 30 minutes from the park on Friday, so we decided to drive to HITP. When we got there, we left imediately.

[teacherkim]

Because it was no good or because they closed the park at early at 6?

[Danrarbc]

It wasn't open last Friday. just Black Friday.

[teacherkim]

Sorry I was thinking he meant black Friday,they closed early that day and that Sunday due to weather. My bad. Or I guess Zach's bad going on a day they weren't open, lol.

[teacherkim]

Thankfully the park called it for the day a couple of hours ago. Grateful they didn't drag everyone in only to send them home an hour later

[bert425]

^ for those of us not in that area. . what does this mean?

 

park's not open today due to weather?

[teacherkim]

Bert, yes weather, we are under a winter storm warning until midnight tomorrow night. 4-8 inches of snow expected today then some ice on top of that, then maybe more snow tomorrow afternoon. Yay.

[bert425]

it's "meh" here in Texas. . not "hot". . but no where near snow/ice either.

[teacherkim]

I'll take "meh" right now. If I never see another snow flake again I would be fine with that.

[tinaalsgirl]

Man, I am right there with you. I'm so done with snow. That 20"+ storm we had last winter was more than enough to get me through several winters.

[teacherkim]

And my district doesn't build in any snow days so that's 3 days we've already had off and have to add on to the end; and it's not even January yet. Bleecchh.

 

On a better note, seems it will warm up a lot for the weekend, I have some friends with young kids that want to finally make it to HITP so I will probably go hang out with them while the boy is working, he's on all 3 days before Christmas.

[prozach626]

I hope it warms up enough to melt my driveway, because I'm too lazy to shovel.

Ya done goofed up Jeffrey.

Visited the Park yesterday... very nice weather for Dec 22nd. The park looked very good wearing it's Holiday attire.

I checked out the former Tidal Wave Site and noticed once again Boomerang was not running. ...I have yet to see that coaster function (I don't visit that often). Anyhow it got me wondering, with TW now removed and with an additional removal of Boomerang that would offer a nice plot of land for a Raptor or a nice Grand Entrance and Station for a new Signature Steel Coaster to be built off to the East. Just chewing the fat here Folks.

[bert425]

a Raptor would fit just fine on the Tidal Wave spot alone.

 

Wonder Woman went where Power Surge was, without taking any additional space (and reused some of the queue layout even).

 

not to say y'all are getting one. . just saying it would easily fit there.
