Does anyone know what time other things like Happy Land of Hanna-Barbera and other shows will be? I have to work till 4 and will not get up to the park till 6:30 if all goes well. If anyone could help me on the times it will help out alot thank you.

that's so cool! I'm glad that unused characters will return to the park, even for one day. Great idea KI!

would they have Brady look-a-likes running through the park with plans in a tube? That would be funny, but how many people would get it?

lol
