Yoshi Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I can't believe that Natural High t-shirt has Steel Force on it. That new fish arcade machine is cool. I tried it at Fantasy Island last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiller4life Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Tango looks to be gone for good. The new stores and resteraunts look really good but the rest of the park needs alot of improvement before summer starts. In my opinion these kids rides that have been removed or are closed for the time being are really going to rub some familys the wrong way. It bothers me more that the kids rides are closed then Tango because I find it ridiculous that they basically went crazy building these kiddy lands just to have some of them closed. I know most of them were built by previous management but it really looks bad having them just sitting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Looking at it, the rides closed were all rides that ONLY kids could ride, and not their parents. While it's a shame to not have them open all the time, they're not needed this early in the season, and at least they are suggesting similar rides available around the park. Tango looks to be gone for good. There's no reason to think that...nothing has been done except to screen it off fro the pathway. It just means it's less noticeable while its not operating. Years ago the park planned a section of flat rides that would be completely closed off except on days when they were needed. This is similar to that idea.

Chiller4life Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Ya I did like those signs they put out. I guess my problem is im expecting to much. I see it this way before they go building new attractions they should make sure they can run the park and all the rides in it. Last season I was blown away when I saw every ride open most of my visits. Every food and drink stand was always open and everything looked very professional. This season I am seeing trees slaped up on a hill and letters ripped of a signpost and a bench thrown in front of it. I see benches blocking off kids rides and some kids rides replaced with bushes. I just feel that the money that went into other things like the new resteraunts could have been used on other things like keeping these rides open. I feel the Cyber Cafe was a good investment because now there are breakfast choices. I do feel however the Boardwalk Food Court wasn't needed. If people are going to eat there going to eat theres no need to have an overkill amount of resteraunts. Having 50 resteraunts all your doing is spreading the money you make out. How many more Johnny Rockets do we need? You guys might have different feelings but thats just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yes, last season turned out to be great, but the first day of that season left us feeling all but hopeful... We're barely into April and you're expecting June operations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Excellent, prompt photo update! While I dislike seeing closed rides, I'm glad to see signs directing guests to similar attractions. The Carousel looks like it still needs lots of work. The cost explains the amortized three year budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few previews: The old Franklin Store/Street Style store now features more upscale merchandise: New hoodie ponchos are really neat: Clothoid loops for peace! The day improved once the sun came out and even the Flume opened: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 That is really weird that they opened the flume on such a cool windy day. I thought the flume only opened after Memorial day and are those dumb sprayers still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 The sprayers are still there, and those signs about not opening until Memorial Day have been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
