Ahhh..... how I loved the 2 minute waits I had November of 2008
(sings)If you want to be my Chang-y, doesn 't matter if your black or white, or brown, or blue, or green, or red, or orange, or mauve, or yellow... 2010 trips- Dollywood, SFGAm, maybe SoCal
And this is what they call the "off-season". I guess the only off-season left is end of Sept to second week of October and November, minus the weekend leading up to and including the weekend of Thanksgiving. At least my whole weekend will be spent at EPCOT and the 5k race at ESPN the Weekends in DHS I'm running.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
Whether you like the big ball of doom (Epcot ball), or the Magic Kingdom castle, I think people besides me are amazed at just the way those things look at night. If they just put white lights at the ball, to me it just wouldn't look so good. I would love Superman Ultimate Flight at night to change colors from red to blue, and white to red at night, but it does nothing. It's just in the dark. Lighting to me matters a lot. When passing by on the freeway, I was never amazed by Raging Bull because I can't be amazed by something I can barely see. To me, Magic Mountain has a serious problem going by at night. You might not even know there is a park at night.
You go Kings Island, and just that tower changing colors looks wonderful looking. I'm not sure, but does Kings Island do better than Cedar Point? That's amazing for that park to be doing better than SFGAm (for what they have, and what SFGAm has).
"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"
/\ Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale and Orlando have staffs that design the lighting for the parks/attractions/shows. Six Flags' has a much more strict "build ride and don't spend money on anything else" budget (hence SUFs line being all plywood walls etc). In reference to your Cedar Fair comment, Cedar Point has very good lighting packages on a lot of their rides: mainly Millennium Force, Dragster, and Corkscrew. Also Kings Island is a really big well known park, I don't know if its attendance is higher than CPs but I like KI better than CP.
I had no problem seeing Magic Mountain at night. Skytower was very visible. Most of their coasters had colored lights running up their lifthills. Riddlers looked good with it's green lights. Even inside the park at night, you can see the lit up signs to the ride entrances from a considerable distance away. MM night is way better than Great America's night time display.
