A couple things have been changed. Of course, the new Tornado has come into the park now. There is a Pictorium show called with Marvin the Marsian. You wear 3D glasses. The motion simulator is back to Space Shuttle America which it was in 1994 (No Stargate). Sky Trek Tower doesn't seem to operating anytime soon.

Triple Play is dismantled, and should come back next year. There are Justice League characters roaming in the park (Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Robin). There are also alot more general characters such as Lola Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and Shaggy from Scooby Doo. There is a new Animal Show that goes on until the 20th in the Southwest Ampitheater, and a musical type show (Britney, Prince, Madonna) in the Grand Music Hall.

The Theater Royale also has a newer Bugs Bunny Show. Parking is $15, and admission went up about $10 from last year. There are parades at 3:15, and I believe 9:00 with more fireworks then ever before. There is Brunch with Bugs at the Mooseburger Lodge, and now you can't smoke in the park unless it's in a designated smoking section. The waterfall for Demon is shutoff, and the Demon red train is in rehab. People also say that the American Eagle red train is down for the count. (It might be back in operation.)

Believe it or not, Iron Wolf's harnesses have gotten a lot harder, and more painful. It's the red ear ride. The stage in Mardi Gras has gone to Karoke with Great American Idol. Thus, buying yourself on Karoke place is now gone. Lastly, Revolution the Ride looks like a destruction zone. Someone said that they found cracks in it, and they took parts of it apart.

The Wendy's right by the Long John Silver's, Krispy Kreme, and Chuckie Cheese is no more. There is still one down the street though by the Target, and Uno's.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

damn triple play is of my favorite flat rides...Prices have gone out the roof...I think it is because they made HH free now so the figure they can raise prices which I think is BS...thanks for the info though Vu...

I might go on the 16th. Yes AER's other red train is operational, and it doesn't have the white stripe on it either. I'm pretty sure they switched blue side to forwards because of the whole family thing... wanting it to be more for the families.

And if you're a water park person, I say check out Hurricane Harbor, but if you'd rather just ride the coasters, then stay away. HH is hell in the summer when it's hot enough. If you do go into HH though, try out the Wahoo Racers, those are pretty fun. They're way back by Bull and Eagle.
