CoastersRZ Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 As expected the crowds showed up at the park today. The lines weren`t that bad until around 12, but then they started to grow. I walked through HB land (which was a zoo!) and ran into ZosoBeast and his kids. I left the park around 2 due to the lines. Although I got quite a lot of rides in, including a ride on Drop Zone, Face Off, two on The Beast and several other rides. As expected most of the FearFest stuff is gone, with the only hint of it being the remnants of Massacre Manor and the facade of Fear Street. The train was closed today, presumably because it is undergoing its Winterfest transformation. They were installing handrails for the ice rink today, and there are lights on the fountain pedestals now. In addition, the park has added lots of garland and wreaths to the buildings on International Street. The garland has white lights laced throughout it. Also, they have done more work on light show on Swan Lake. They added mulch for a viewing area for the show as well as trimmed several of the trees for a better view, and added speakers for the soud track. You can check out my website for some picture I took today of the WinterFest preparations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 No, I didn`t see a little kid with a video camera. I saw a person filming in the Festhaus, but it was an older guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I was taking some pictures inside the Festhaus just before 11:30 today. Beauty that I haven't seen for years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Anyone else see the Headless Hollow decorations still up in White Water Canyon's exit? That was a pretty interesting site. Also, can someone tell me what was up with the sign in front of Massacre Manor? "Please pardon our dust as we prepare for something in the near future" is what it said. One last thing, if anyone saw a black kid hanging around with a couple of ECO guys, don't worry, that wasn't me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZosoBeast Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Well I took my kids to the park today so they could say good-bye to HBL. HBL was a crazy zoo! People running into people, strollers running over feet! It was just CRAZY!! Lines or not, I took many pictures of my kids either on or in front of stuff that will not be there next year. At one point, I had them sitting on each of the benches that had a HB cartoon on it, a guy walked up and asked me why I was doing it! He seemed rather shocked when I told him the news. We went up the tower, which I noticed has recieved a "good crew" flag. I was thinking it was going to be a tad bit cold up there! But the weather was PERFECT! Now, if the rain could simply go away right now, it would make for a better last day. But regardless, I will be there from open to close today! See ya up there! Bill PS: Make sure to check out the new pictures of the park I posted this morning. Right here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullimann Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Wow its great to see the park begining to look more like the year long parks. Hopefully CBS/Viacom will see the value and keep the park open closer to a full year. Thanks for the pics zozobeast and coastersrz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
