Random Talk / Re: Your Travels Thread for 2023
« on: January 06, 2023, 03:02:54 PM »
This year, we are headed to Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Dollywood, Splash Country, Kentucky Kingdom, and lots of SCD/WW.


I remember going to the Cosmosphere each summer growing up when we would visit family friends in Hutch. We have actually been talking about taking a long weekend trip to it with our kids. We never did do the salt mines though.

That change was done because they rerouted the entry/exit lanes for the cars

Not really a valid argument for taking away the perk of using the closer special entrance.
That entrance is still used for preferred parking and groups.

But enough about Dollywood...

65 days until the 2023 SDC season opens! Looking forward to the announcements that they mentioned in their Facebook post a few days ago.

Received ours in the mail.  Same ol' passes.  Is there an upcharge to turn them into digital?

No uncharge to go digital. Just download the SDC app and sign in. If your passes don't automatically show, there is an option to link them via the ID on the back of your pass. Right now, all 2023 passes in the app aren't active and don't show photos or barcodes. We assume that they will become active closer to season opening.

Another big change was that the DreamMore trolly now goes to the main entrance with everyone else. In the past there was a separate entrance up the hill that had its own security and turnstiles. There were lots of complaints on the trolly each day about the removal of the special entrance for the trolly.

This was the first year we've ever gone in the main entrance since we have always stayed at the DreamMore and ridden the trolly.

Sounds like they are going to the same physical (if you actually want one) passes as Dollywood. I believe that I also saw that since passes will have photos, IDs wont be required either.

More roof structure has gone up on the new dining area.
The first wall has also gone up on the new Fried Fancies.

Over in Fireman’s Landing, the stretch of fence where the track crossing will be has been taken down to put up metal posts and different/unpainted fencing has gone back up.

There is a marker and paint on the new peninsula in Lake Silver by Fireman’s landing. Are we expecting the little swings to move this off-season?

Our view of the inside of the building has now been blocked off.

SDC came in at #2, but it is a bit of a joke because they combined all SeaWorld locations into a single entry and they came in at #1. Someone must have been tired of SDC winning the past 4 editions of this poll.

So congratulations to the City for being the top single park!

This is the first time that I had noticed that they removed the extended queue area for Mystic River Falls and added more tables and chairs.

Yesterday was also the first time that I had heard them make announcements on PowerKeg about not taking phones at all on the ride due to newer phones having crash detection. First ride of the day, no mention of it. Second ride, that is all they talked about. Third ride, no mention of it. Seems to very inconstant on if it is an actual rule or not. It was one ride op that was harping on it.

Lots of support steel in the building and you can see where a bit of it has gone vertical. You can see what may be track in the background on the floor in a few photos, but no long runs of installed track could be seen.

The exterior has also continued to receive some theming additions.

*These photos were taken from inside of Fireman's Landing.

I couldn't find the Trailblazer line for Fire in the Hole, and it was very crowded, so I didn't push my way to the front to find it.

It is to the left of the main line. At the entrance to the line out front, you just go to the left to walk up to the entrance instead of entering the main line.

Anyplace that chokes the walkway down from wide to narrower causes issues... think the bridge heading down to the right by the candy company...

This was fixed a few years ago and the "bridge" is now the same width as the the path.
