Where'd this come from?

I like the Pep and Chee.

The problem with that is that they don't accept meal plans...so how much money would the food truck vendors bring in? I know there are folks that do not have the dining plans, but every time I've seen a food truck in the park, they've not had a line.

I believe he did

I found out that one of my friends helped design PT:ON and from what I do know based on that, it'll be quality.

Any pics of the fence with posters?

My guess is by mid Halloween Haunt.

Sand box? Oooo! I am guessing it'll be like Dragonflier at Dollywood. Honestly, it's such a good ride, so it'd be great to have it at KK.

Not the moose, but I did try the blue ice cream fudge push pops (say that 10x fast) and it was really good.

The press release shares that it will definitely have animatronics.

I've always called it blue ice cream and have never heard anyone naturally say any other name in person.

I do find this exciting, while disappointed that the "shooter" aspect will remain. I'm hopeful for the tech/storyline can hold up year after year (I think it will, but have seen how BBOBH went downhill after several years). The storyline seems solid and I'm excited to see how it expands the original.

Hey I beat you to the post

No thanks on Bart....

Yup...that's basically why I'm saying it's not going to amount to much.

I doubt it'll amount to anything "worthwhile." Why hide it behind a fence with screening if people riding Diamondback can see it from above. Likely a queue or something to do with what's coming into The Crypt building.

Okay that is cute. Thanks for sharing! Mason did change the way they are shared. I had emailed and they now list the permits filed for the month....so if it was filed in June, you won't see it until July, July in August and so on. The information is not as good, but it's good enough for info.

If anyone at the park this coming weekend can take pics of this, I missed it and would love to see.

Any time I actually want it, the line is too long and I don't want to wait.

@Oldiesmann has shared that a lot of the rides this evening had high wait times and he waited longer than the posted time for Mystic Timbers.

Mason has changed the way their permits are available to the public online. They go by month. July was the last update....so assuming around the first part of September the permits for August will be viewable.

Carowinds adjusted hours of Winterfest to close by 7pm. What a waste...not worth a trip for me.

I will say, it does match the artwork of the other rides in the Jungle-X area...probably should have sprung for different fiberglass body shapes though.

That hat would be great!
