Unfortunate that not everything is working 100%. Hopefully they are able to troubleshoot it and get it all functioning

I'm hoping that they do stick the others in there. I think that adventure port got rushed a bit and a couple scenery pieces they showed on Facebook for Adventure Express never did make it to the final version (for example the repainted masks that were on the first lift). I'm wondering if they rushed PTON slightly to make sure it would open for opening day and didn't have time to finish the other busts

I personally see it being an off year - as for upcoming projects in the next few years I'd say we should see a new coaster by 2030 (hopefully in The Vortex plot but if not I think it'll be Action Zone with congo, timber Wolf, and possibly Invertigo removals. If they opt not to replace Vortex with a new coaster, this might be controversial but perhaps they could create an extension of coney mall with more flats down at that end? Maybe something similar to Carowinds Aeronautic Landing. Just an idea. I think the park honestly should focus on some general improvements for the time being - renovation of restrooms, perhaps an upgraded entrance area, or repaint and repair rides.

Mixed feelings on the lights - I wish the tube lights had been replaced but in general it looks better now that all the light bulbs are working. There were a lot of burnt out bulbs two years ago last time I operated. Wish they had replaced the tube lights but it definitely doesn't look bad currently because all the bulb/globe style lights are working

Just a random question, why are so many people maxing out the score with like 999999? Targets worth too many points? Ride breaking down/stopping for loading resulting in these crazy maxed out scores? Been seeing a lot of them posted on Facebook

While I wish they had restored the tube lightbulbs on the arms, I will say the red is kinda cool. Dorney Parks monster had red lights at night back before it was removed

Sorry for your loss. Hope you had a nice day at the park in your friend's memory.

Wow that isn't good. They have got to get better at loading all the opera boxes. We don't want a half sold show

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1bg2JaSt9C/ Appears to me that the ride is running a little faster than it did in 2024 when they noticably slowed it down to try and keep it going through the end of the season. Also, are my eyes deceiving me or are the new lights under the arms red? Also looks like they removed the green tube lights from the arms?

Not sure how long Orion lines were when opening during the pandemic but I'd say this is the biggest turn out for a new ride opening since mystic if I had to guess

I just imagine the other ones sitting in the executive office starring down the park executives haha

So if no jazz and no classical what are they pumping on I-Street?

What type of playlist is it now?

Maybe they thought more than one bust would be too scary for the kids haha. Or maybe the others were in poor condition? Seems interesting that there's only one left but at this point if anything original is not in a dumpster were lucky

Looks like it's shined up a bit. Maybe fresh paint? Did they take the tube lightbulbs off the arms entirely? The round bulbs under the arms also look slightly different to me

I was wondering if that would be an issue just with the amount of people in the lobby que area. Hopefully they can fine tune it as they go

Saw monster cycling today on webcam. If anyone thinks of it can you get some pictures of how it's looking? Did they fix all the lights and are all the ques still the same?

I was also wondering if that was one of the original ones and if so what happened to the others? Even if it's not original it's a cool nod to the original ones

I heard the line was 3 hours...where did they put all those people?.the indoor ques for boo Blasters usually only held maybe 45 minutes of people max

That's one thing I was trying to listen for in the POVs and I couldn't seem to hear music over all the riders excessive talking

I'll be there on Aug 7th! Been twice before and it's a park that everyone should visit at least once. It's not polished or new and flashy but it's get a cool roadside vibe of decades past and as Don pointed out in this article the Big Dipper is worth the visit as is the rare gravity pretzel haunted house (arguably my favorite ride in the park).

They aren't wrong haha

Curious if anyone has found a POV where the riders don't give you a commentary the entire ride. All the ones I'm seeing it's difficult to hear the character and storyline over everyone blabbing through the entire thing. If you know of one feel free to DM me as I know some folks are desperately trying to avoid spoilers
