ParkMake Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I thought all of Beasts queue line TVs were gone by 2009 when DB came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 All were removed come 2009 season, except the four in the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSaturdayNite Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Beast plaza has definitely improved since the time that photo was taken. I just wish they would figure out something with Ye Olde Abandoned Drink Stand in The Beast queue. Even if they just took out the signage and made it look like a run-down country village, it would be a huge improvement to the theming of the queue.

standbyme Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 ^Of all of the pictures I have seen of the park hardly any of them "scream" spectacle...in my opinon, but this one does! You can just tell by the photo that it was a glorious day to have been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotag Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 if you stretch your imagination, the ruffles on top of the tower makes it look like it has a smiling face; plus (if im not mistaken) that banner on the tower say's "come on get happy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 ^ doesn't take any stretching for me. That's awesome. Thanks for pointing it out cuz I looked right over it. Very cool pic indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
