Oldiesmann Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Not much to report from today. The park wasn't that busy even with the school groups. Most rides were either walk-on or 15 minute wait tops. WindSeeker was down all day due to wind, and Drop Tower, Skyflyer and Slingshot all went down due to wind at one point as well. 5 rides on DB during ERT and 3 straight rides on Flight Deck without going back around (I could have gotten more had I wanted to, but 3 straight was enough for me). I rode everything I wanted to ride (at least everything that was open) by 3:30, so I went back around and rode most things again. Despite the heat, there was still quite a bit of interest in the family dryer. At one point I walked by and there was a group of about 9 school kids in there - during the hottest part of the day. No wonder Cedar Fair loves those things. New stuff I noticed: Card readers added to all the vending machines at the beginning of The Beast queue Quite a few new arcade games Jukebox Diner now has Coke Freestyle machines, which offer more choices than those in the burrito shack There's a "Rivertown 1979" sign above the kiddy corale at Beast Most of the rides that have "estimated wait time" signs got new ones customized to their particular ride New decorations in the queue at Flight of Fear: Biohazard by oldiesmann, on Flickr Translation Project by oldiesmann, on Flickr Urgent - Press Release by oldiesmann, on Flickr Finally, a few other photos I took: The great blue heron is back Great Blue Heron #2 by oldiesmann, on Flickr The new beer garden, with some nice landscaping: Christian Morlein Biergarten by oldiesmann, on Flickr The new dino: New Dino by oldiesmann, on Flickr The inside of the train: Train by oldiesmann, on Flickr I also took several construction photos, which I'll post in the topic on that 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Also, one more thing I noticed today that I don't believe has been mentioned here yet... The park now offers a "season pass" for Dinosaurs Alive - only $12 for unlimited visits all season (not sure if that includes the movie or not, though once was more than enough for me as far as that goes). I'm very tempted to buy this next time I go to the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nice TR! I like the blue heron picture. And I believe that the season pass bit was already mentioned, but I could be wrong. Where did you eat? I want to do something new when I go on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I ate at Hank's Burrito Shack, which is one of my favorite food places at KI. More food for your buck than most of the other places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nice photos. You have an eye for detail; I didn't see any of that new stuff in FOF. Glad to run into you this (actually yesterday now) afternoon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
