A poster (WOFanatic) on Theme Park Review snagged these pics from a recent SDC trip. The transfer system looks to be completed and operational with cars on the actual track now.

Never gone right around Christmas and looking to bring a first timer who has never been to the park during this event. Looking at either going the 22nd or 24th based on said persons availability and time off to go. (Friday and Sunday respectively) I already told them no way we are going Saturday due to past experiences. Which would be the better day?

I got lucky and wound up being "forced" to see it as I exited FITH and there was nowhere to go. I watched it from the tunnel. lol

Interesting to see folks having different experiences, maybe the concessions do have different methods for prepping their drinks? Where all did you get your drinks? Mine were both on the square.

I know this is a major nitpick and a bit off topic but I found the hot chocolate to be quite disappointing compared to years past. It used to be quite rich and creamy and it was a drink that you definitely got a good value for what you paid for. The two batches I got from two different vendors at Coaster Christmas was basically brown water with little flavor so it seems like they have cheeped out and decided to stretch their ingredients by watering down the batches as they probably think the average person (non regulars) won't notice. One major thing I loved SDC at Christmas was for the quality of their hot chocolate and sadly that was a miss this year. But Christmas in Midtown is impressive and is a must see in person type of thing to appreciate. Oh and on the flip side, the Wassail was as good as always.

Check out this awesome promo video from Mack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIdJtQ3dMtw

Pay close attention as you can see the SDC Time Traveler car featured under construction.

Seeing it in the physical and not as a CGI rendering I am much more optimistic on the theming and stylization of this ride. I just hope the rest of the station building is done on this level of detail. I am impressed nonetheless.

Speaking of, I just saw this on the MACK Rides FB Page. Looks like we likely got one of the Time Traveler cars in transit here.

Here are my photos from the ACE Coaster Christmas event at SDC yesterday. For SDC/Time Traveler it was a mini recap of the media announcement followed by another construction site tour.

Went to the park over the weekend, without being redundant since everyone has pretty much covered the station area and entrance work, I went ahead and got more photos of the layout as seen from the Culinary School. You can see the overbanked turns, inversions, and the launches thru the trees.

Its actually a really awesome park, more than just a flatter SDC clone. I look at it as a perfect blend of SDC with bits of Celebration City an Six Flags sprinkled in.

Anyone got any ideas what the crowd estimates will be for this weekend? I prefer Sunday but due to potential weather issues I might have to settle for Saturday which I normally avoid.
