They must have had different hiring or training techniques this year, because I can't think of a single rude employee I saw, as opposed to quite a few I saw during the first few weekends last year.

They sold them there last year, I recall seeing the signs that say "We Use Peanut Oil", which they use for the fresh-cut fries. I kinda miss the old name, Coney Potato Works is rather generic.

I can't remember, did they ever say who the people in the video clips actually were? I know from reading here, but I think a lot of guests might wonder who they are. A introduction to the people in the clips might help. They might have had one and I just forgot, though. I did like that they added a common theme to the show.

If you had a chance to "fix" the somewhat disjointed theme of Oktoberfest, what would you do? Try to keep it somewhat realistic- tearing down Festhaus and installing a stratacoaster isn't probably something the park would do. I would eliminate Oktoberfest entirely. Outer Hanks is pretty much part of Coney Mall anyway, so Coney Mall would extend down to Adventure Express's entrance (I know it doesn't fit the theme of Coney Mall, but it doesn't fit the theme of Oktoberfest either). The remaining area would be considered part of International Street. Viking Fury would stay unchanged. Festhaus would get a new name but keep LaRosa's and Panda Express. I would install a third food stand in place of the current restrooms. restrooms in place of every empty spot in Festhaus. I'd also remove the current tables and benches in favor of seating similar to a mall's food court. The stage would still be used for the current shows. Edit:

I liked the show overall, but I thought the video interview things could certainly be removed, and the 9/11 segment seemed really awkward for an upbeat show at an amusement park. I did think the music was pretty good, which is a huge compliment considering that I hate country music.

Don't the legacy CF parks not have metal detectors at all? They're doing okay... (The ones I've been to don't have them. I don't know about Dorney, MA, or Knott's though.)

Maybe they're more concerned about the ride being open on time than they are about fixing a webcam.

Nope, it was Midway Treats and Eats last year. (and this year's map still refers to it as that!)

People would just throw trash in the pond instead of the empty trough. This is why we can't have nice things anymore.

That's a great pic. I'd bet many people who ride The Beast have no clue that the trough that's filled with trash and silly bandz used to actually have water in it.

Am I the only one who would rather have those lights on the Eiffel Tower than WindSeeker? They look great on WindSeeker, but I'd like way more to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night again from the front.

Just like every year, it's a buyout day. Edit: Every RECENT year.

Ah, I see they've updated the Shows page since I last looked. Thanks

Nope... I'm really excited about it too!

Do you happen to know where Party on the Plaza is? I haven't been able to find that anywhere.

I think that might be where the old urn thing was that was fenced in. Maybe? I wish they would fence it in... that poor planter is going to be destroyed in a few weeks by unruly children who decide to play in it.

I think I just fell in love.

When I first saw that, I thought it said "Born to Shed". Meow.

I think the greenhouse is behind GWL.

I think this video just made me more excited for Saturday than anything else I've seen recently. I spy some dinosaurs and a Eiffel Tower topiary!

That's cool looking!

Dinosaurs Alive doesn't open until quite a bit into May.

I think I would buy a lifetime pass to Monster Island. Just imagining the uniforms makes me cringe though. I wonder if the food department would have to wear meat shirts and shorts? If they had a Eurobobble...
