My friend just got the smallest 4 way ever lol

Today is the first time I've opened this thread. I avoided spoilers and POVs from media day.  I visited the park for the first time this year, yesterday. I am blown away in all honesty. Hit the ride for Early Entry and the park wasn't too packed, so the wait was not too bad. The only downfall of the queue was the audio...it wasn't loud enough (even with my hearing aids), or people were talking too loud. Seeing it themed and seeing the Maestro up top again was a welcome sight. I loved that the screens in the queue also were not FUNtv. I will admit, I did miss the busts in the windows just before boarding. The audio for the spirits could have been a little bit louder as well.  I decided for my first ride, I wanted to do it without trying to score any points and just look at it. It was odd seeing the 2 opera boxes and then a gap, but honestly glad they did that. I loved how immersive everything was from the moment we saw No Legs Larry until the end.  I'll skip the play by play. I'd have to say my favorite animatronic was the first time we see Hilda and her hair raised. Some of the scenes did feel a bit far away, so the details were hard to see (being a theater person, I would have loved to look at the tiny details).  I rode it again a few hours later and did the game. The flashlights were pretty cool and I enjoyed that they would vibrate when you hit the ghost notes.  I enjoyed it enough, that at the end of the night, I did 4 consecutive rides through Fast Lane. Again, was honestly blown away. Great addition for the park! 

Tried the breakfast yesterday...it was good. I got the strawberries and cream with cheesy potatoes.  The only complaint I have about it, was that French Corner is too small for the demand. I get why they're doing it there, but it definitely could have been served in a different location. After I placed my order I didn't know where to wait...the standing tables in the middle make it look as if there is another line...but then the areas to wait around were too small and felt as if I was in the way. 

I would have planted about 3 or 4 times as many trees and kept more existing ones when laying out the park. By now they'd be nice, mature shade trees.

Promise you I’m still a negative grump. Ha!
