Ah, love the International Street refurb, minus the tree and fountain situations. Wish we could’ve had both. From one of my favorite zen, solo trips way back in 2018. Sure do miss this view. Just feels a bit open and empty still. Miss the coziness.   

Still there as of Sunday. (Are we celebrating trash being strategically placed and left there now ?) 

Based on the crowd drop I’ve seen, the nightly expense isn’t keeping them there till close. Maybe the numbers make sense (must or they wouldn’t do it juSt out of tradition) but I just don’t see the need for 10 pm closes every day if the week when most other parks don’t do it (and certainly don’t end with several thousand dollars in show expenses every night) 

As far as fireworks and drones go.   I know they’re tradition but I would take all the rides being open from 930 till 10 over a five minute fireworks show anytime. It used to be just The Beast they close but now its several including multiple coasters.     The fountains and lasers could stand on their own in a show if it was well done ( and the fountains worked)

Is the pineapple still on the rock over at The Beast ? Or was it removed or blown away from one of the recent storms. Curious minds want to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
