What contractor? Looks from the booking experience like a homespun operation.

 

Maybe SF spun off a new separate company to operate the the glamping site?

I don't like the sound of updated and newly designated parking areas. 

 

Can't say I'm overly thrilled about the idea of that either. Unless it's something as simple as additional EV charging, I don't think there's a need to further segment the parking lot. Even with the "Preferred" perk some of my passes have allegedly included, I've always opted to avoid the melee of cars funneling into that area and just walk the extra distance instead.

Sad to see the Parachute tower missing from the park map. The Flash's location will make a dynamic first impression entering the park.

It's definitely sad to have a map without the iconic parachutes - I wonder if that tower has anything to do with Superman and Green Lantern not opening until Memorial Day weekend.

 

Seeing Dream Street marked on the map again certainly is nice. Quite a relief to see the Skyway as well. They really chose an excellent location for The Flash.

I plan to provide additional galleries as I overfly Great Adventure on future flights...

 

Enjoy !
