So if they stated on opening day a big announcement was coming later this year, and its not about a new ride/attraction, what will it be about?

When I went on Opening Day there was an announcement about new stuff happening. But stay tuned to this fall as more would be disclosed at that time. Now I will be there the opening of the FHF and I wonder if they will make some announcement then?

September 14!! Who else??

Did anyone notice on FB the description of the video had the Original Harlem Globetrotter BULL BULLard...........?

I am Team Mystery Mine. It seems to fit better. I feel that it fits with not only TNT but the FM and pays tribute to Rube Dugans Diving Bell. If they are able to do it right they might even be able to bring it back in this format.

But I do however like the Buffalo Bill theme. Just not the spinning coaster part. Not a fan.

I too received the survey. Was disappointed to have more questions on concept two over concept one.

Warning warning! This is not a test, I repeat, this is not a test! Saturday June 5 will be a corporate day! Warning warning!! Danger!!! Then there will be one for WW on the 18th. Warning warning! This is not a test, I repeat, this is not a test!

We are going back on a Thursday in a couple weeks. I think the 26th ish. Fingers crossed all the lots will be not full! I am so glad they were that busy though. Very pleased indeed!

We got there about ten/ten fifteen. Seriously did not even stop. Just kept going. It was BUSY! School buses were taking up the entire part across from stop 2. Stop 6 was filled. Handicap parking lot full. Parking in stop 5 with a LONG tram line wait. Said no thank you and went downtown to Dicks 5 and 10 and the landing. I just dont dig that kind of crowd.

I will be there Saturday as well! Dont know if I will participate in the former employee activities though.... :/

On the backside of The Greatest Gift?

I know that they pay minimum wage. Its miserable to try to pay bills on that. And I am not asking for overly cheerful either. Just when the operator greets the line give a smile and howdy! Its a nice touch.

My son, friend, and parents went to the city on Saturday 9th. Parked in lot 2 and was immediately sat on a tram. They even had a tram waiting behind the tram we were sitting on. It was not crowded by any means. Bag check went seamlessly and I had a ton of stuff in my "carry on" I pass as a purse. The opening ceremony was beautiful. We were able to watch the one time only WorldFest ceremony they were touting.They introduced all the counties and the Echo Hollow show performers. Brad Thomas gave a short diddy and announced it was the final year for WorldFest because next year they have a new and exciting festival and he revealed that it was...............to be revealed in September. That is about all he had to say and quickly exited. There were a few news outlets there as well covering the opening ceremony. There was no real complaint about line waits as it was minimal. I am however disappointed in a few of the ride operators. They did not even PRETEND to be peppy. Not really grouchy, but not smiling either. I like operators that have some sass and excitement. Its part of it for me. Maybe I am just crazy.  We caught the magic show and while it is the same as ever it was still fun!  My parents watched about five minutes of the Irish harp/flute show. It was a bit loud for their taste so they left. But my dad has hearing issues and flute/high pitches really hurt his hearing holes so that may have been a deciding factor as well. Oh, and my mother's electric wheelchair rental was not acting right. She pulled up to the toy store and alerted a citizen. A new one was promptly brought to her with many apologies. It was not a big deal to them but was nice to have such great customer service. Around 2 ish the park was becoming more crowded. I mean the weather was AMAZING! We overall had a wonderful time. The boys went on the water rides at the end of our day. Hit Grandfathers Mansion. Left by 4.

No crying babies ruined my visit, BTW.  However, there were some obnoxious teenagers that were being filthy mouthed and loud in line with us and the Electrospin. I did NOT appreciate this with my children present. Which were better behaved than those hooligans. Give me a crying baby over foul mothed-fool-of-themselves teens any day.

Early June would not be bad. Much later I wouldnt. Heck, I do not want to be there in July myself so... As for the crying, that is an instant eye roll. Babies cry. As parents we deal with it appropriate like. If I hear one cry I dont throw my fork down in a tantrum and have my whole trip ruined. Demand that the infant is removed. Come on. Its those older unsupervised ones you have to look out for.

Congats on the new wee one! Its an exciting time. The babe will get NOTHING out of it but thats okay. Enjoy every moment!!
