Sesame Place-6/8/19

[Pineracer]

For the first time in a decade, I went to Sesame Place to check out Oscar's Wacky Taxi and the improvement/changes since 2009.

 

The first thing I noticed was that I felt the security guards were around my age (19). This weirded me out. Most of the other crew being young was ok, considering one of the friends in my major works at Justice League and Cyborg at Great Adventure. I would think you need a lot of time to do security (it was at the metal detectors, but still).

 

With Coasting for Kids (the main why I felt, "It's not going to be weird for a 19-year old to go to a kids park") and Super Hero Weekend, I was expecting it to be very busy, but it seemed Sky Splash was sucking a decent amount. I didn't ride Vapor Trail but both of the coasters were almost dead (Wacky Taxi was at the stairs when I went on around 11). It seemed by the time the coasters crested the lift, the other train was only just getting unloaded so it seemed you were waiting about as long as the experience was.

 

I first went in the front, maybe a little tight, but still got some air, and got thrusted into the breaks. I got into the back about 3 cycles later (restraint seemed about as loose as safely possible) and got air off the drop (but not thrusted into the breaks, experience was the same pretty much). I'm not sure which is better, but I would compare it to Fire Chaser as the next step (more intense than Blazing Fury/Harleyquinn/Vapor Trail, but may not be tall enough/ready for the Arrow's Tennessee Tornado or Runaway Mine Train).

 

I decided to more walking around and taking some off rides and shots of the renovated street. Something odd i noted the gate at the Neighborhood Theater still says Big Bird Theater on it and Snuffy is meeting guests in Abby's Paradise Theater.

Don't follow Sesame Street, but it looks like Abby has a Step-brother named Rudi, maybe they could add him and then do a new show with him, Abby, and the gang in 2021 (with all the other parks getting coasters, they just might make the anniversary sell it self-along with repainting the Good Ship Sesame and some improvement to the current parade). 

In conjunction with the above, I saw Magic of Art only had 3 showings so I'm guessing they would probably replace it in 2021 too.
