Magenta Lizard 18783 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Someone suggested that asphalt is actually there for guests to get to Field of Screams this year. It seems likely. I’m sure it will also get used for other things construction related too tho. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Klabergian Empire 1774 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 So, since the Orion cam is going up when they start construction, does that mean that there will be 4 cameras on the website or are they going to replace another camera with Orion??? 6 Link to post Share on other sites
