  1. Yeah, I was REALLY glad to see the transfer/storage structure painted, it fits in so much better. The pool is the cleanest I've seen it for a while, pretty sure they either painted or blasted the concrete. I was hoping the light pine fences would get a darker color to match, but overall it's great, just need to get the rest of the ride done.
  2. (Also, yippie ki-yay, the Diamondback train storage structure and transfer is included in the repaint as I'd hoped.)
  3. I know some people wanted pavers but I think the pottery-shade concrete is a perfect fit.
  4. At least we don't have seagulls. I won a Cedar Point park-flown banner at one of the winter events once and it took a while to clean it...
  5. The interior queue structure would be perfect to change from a cave to a mine shaft entrance, and remove the big box for a proper Rivertown-fitting ride. I wonder if Gravity Group could build something like Indiana Beach's Lost Coaster using a steel structure and prefab track themed to carts on an abandoned mine track...
  6. Linus Launcher being relocated would be a perfect opportunity to retheme the flume and return it to Rivertown. That location for it would be very out of place if the flume switched back but a Snoopy ride stayed right there. Tear up the concrete between the flume queue and the Flying Ace exit, landscape it up to create separation, and you've got a proper area border again. Diamondback's lift structure is looking good in the background of that photo, the completed project will be so much better than it's been since the first few seasons before the fading started, and the color scheme will fit Rivertown properly.
  7. There's also a hold brake inside the tunnel just before the loading station.
  8. I think I still have some of the "Tomb Raider may or may not work today" handouts from the tolls from 2002 somewhere. Personally I liked the old magnetic boards better because there was no waiting through a scroll, everything was visible at a glance.
  9. Diamondback track paint has entered the Mystic cam view.
  10. Based on the webcam it seems almost like a ride foundation is being installed, makes me wonder if a plan changed and Sol Spin will take the Skylab spot and the new AE entrance and exit will be between the two new rides.
  11. I'm not terribly concerned about the shingles not being replaced, considering the front gate itself still has a wall of those things despite both I-Street and entrance plaza remodels.
  12. I'm assuming they'll do the Blue side return next offseason, and paint it after that's completed. That adds up to the entire ride, except for the brakes/station/lift and top of the split hill having been retracked from the ledgers up since 2018, starting with GCI doing the turnarounds.
  13. The theme package over there was no more than signage. Not an accurate comparison to a full retheme including a new queue for AE.
  14. Enrique's might be open but I can see Mercado not being open yet and the pathway, if open, being fenced on both sides while the rest of the work is being completed. If it's closed, it wouldn't be anywhere near as annoying as having the entire Floral Clock to Rivertown path closed for the entirety of 2008.
  15. Eh, it's nice to have an indoor Skyline. Just keep it there and use the CFA building for something new.
  16. Some Iron Dragon track removal might be for crane placement, or just coincidence and it needed some work.
  17. Coasterbuzz Club is still very much a thing, and they've had Coasterstock on their upcoming events list for a while...
  18. It was also supposed to have a bunch of nice landscaping instead of concrete and gravel, but we all know how that worked out.
  19. I really hope the train shed is included in the Diamondback repaint, the new darker support color would make it blend in so much better and not so "in your face" when taking that path from the ET/floral clock junction. The wood fences, like those around the pool's mechanical works, would also look better painted a darker color rather than the very light pine finish.
  20. Sounds expensive, especially the bridge part and fixing up the dilapidated state of the waterpark.
  21. The conveyance system itself seems to be perfectly fine still, they own the rights, the company that did the theme job still exists... I'm sure they could have new cars built and installed on the existing track. Still a lot of work to have all new props and sets and animatronics built, but they've got the building and the actual ride system which would surely make it cheaper than having it recreated by Sally or the like, whether in a new building or gutting out and rebuilding in the existing one.
  22. Paint the building in forest camo, or even just green if it's getting reused though, the warehouse look doesn't really work.
  23. They started building GWL in 2005, that would have been before the split that happened later that year. 2006 was the first and only season to start with the parks under CBS.
  24. The park has been known to use PODS during the offseason, that might be what's in front of the basketball game. I've seen them parked in that area before.
