La Ronde seems to have quietly removed the Kids Pumpkin Festival from their website. It was only supposed to take place over 4-ish days in October, but for now it looks to have been cancelled.
For those wondering, last night they had the Coney Maul circus posters on the fence and a separate light illuminating the Monster sign. While it might not mean anything big, it's a new sign of life that Monster will return.
I know I've pushed for a mythical creature and a New Oktoberfest theme for an AZ redesign, but how about a Medieval Faire theme? They could have rustic architecture in Rivertown, (return to) Victorian and early 20th century architecture in Coney Mall, and Medieval/Gothic architecture in whatever replaces Action Zone. Maybe Banshee's station could also get a small renovation away from the blocky brick paint scheme that Cedar Fair used in every big project from 2013-2016.
The line for the Grand Carousel was 0 minutes around 11:30. I wasn't really looking at wait times for other rides, but I don't think any of them had crazy lines.
