Let us know how your day at the park was.
Postby BrianPlencner on May 4th, 2008, 11:27 pm
Today was a lot better then last Saturday. It was warmer, and more rides were open. Rode almost everything that was open, some multiple times.

Now, onto the pictures.



First, we will get the sad part of the update out of the way. Here is what is left of Deja Vu. Most of the one tower is now gone, and no work appears to have been done on the other.
2208



Ok, now onto some good news. Orbit is back up and running again
2212

Eagle Blue is getting closer to opening. They were running one train most of the day empty. The 2nd train was on the transfer track, but I could not tell if it was the full train or not.
2209


While they have renamed it on the maps, the old signs are still in place on the Crazy Buffalo. Anyone have any info if they are going to replace these signs?"
2207


I thought I saw a comment about this, but I don't remember. In any case, the arch that used to be over the walkway going to SSA / STT is missing.
2211

Speaking of SSA, its still there. Here are a few pictures of it.
2218

2217


New show in Pictorium will be "Planet Earth". No mention if this will be in 3D like the Marvin the Martin cartoon.
2213

Raging Bull painting is just about complete. There is a small section of track and the supports under this part of the ride that need to be painted.
2214

Speaking of Raging Bull, Teal Train still needs to be put together. Hopefully they get this done soon.
2215


TDK has added some flag poles to the front area.
2216

Not sure what the guy in the dark shirt is doing in front of King Chaos, but hopefully he is having fun!
2210

Speaking of King Chaos, I spotted That Guy working the ride.

Plant Earth Video Series is a very good addition for use at Pictoium on a very big screen.
It played on Discovery HD Theater Channel. It will be 2-D but very good Images of the earth with a narrator. About 45 min Film and very educational :!:

45 minute film? maybe people will start exiting this one before it's over too.....

As for the archway, that always baffled me to have two that close to each other, but yeah, i didn't even notice it gone from the picture you had. Also, thanks for the Vu and DK updates!
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

Fangs Up Cobra Style!!!
