The cat is unfortunately dead....at HWN I did not see it breathe at all. Poor cat....grandma had a stroke it seems.

I think so. Worth noting, the building that formerly housed the Pirate Ride not only houses the kids trick or treat house, but it also houses park services. They'd have to find a new location for that if they were to go there.

According to guest services, if you were to buy a membership and want to upgrade to a different level (think going from Gold to Prestige), you would lose any $ paid into it (including add ons) and have to start all over again.

I would 100% support a KD like makeover of the Royal Fountains.

Glad you finally were able to get a ride on it, I know you were definitely looking forward to it. I wish Willard's audio was a bit louder! -------------------- Going on the comments about the flashlights, I still am wondering how when I rode it (the only one in the opera box) how the other 2 flashlights scored. Haha

That ride was so interesting....something.

Yes....I think this was a trial to see if it'd fly instead of putting all resources into one day.

I'd love to see it...but I also don't think it'll happen. I've heard winds of change are happening to last rides of a certain ride in the back of the park.

I'd rather have CFA......

Don't forget, the people living around the park have consistently made complaints about late night closures due to sound....it may be viable, but may not. I think it's stupid that people move in and then complain...as if they didn't know.

Not wrong.

I really am not sure where to get Chicken Tenders...what place has the best?

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.

It probably will, but they are redesigning the event and/or just bringing Coastermania back.
