Yes - and it's been widened.

It was widened before last season for Foggy Hollow

Maybe this was mentioned somewhere, but I didn't see it.  With the food truck area now open is the "foggy hollow" path open from the food trucks to Boatworks Theater?

Yes it is a loop with both entrances open to the Plaza

We were waiting for a tram at the end of the day Thursday and a parking attendant got to chatting.  He said when it's all said and done (likely next year), people will NOT be directed to a specific lot and can park wherever they want.  He also said the shuttles/trams will run one continuous loop rather than going to one specific stop.  He did confirm that there will be two underpasses - one for pedestrians and one for trams. 

I know employees don't always have accurate info, but I thought I'd pass it along with a grain of salt.

I'm fully expecting that all parking will be paid parking once the lot is completed.  You have to pay at all of their other parks already.

^Yes we were wondering that ourselves.  It would definitely keep strollers from getting caught... and they'll obviously do that treatment over at new FITH and Pumpkin Plaza as well

The footers would not be visible in the photo you posted.  They’d be behind the branch

The bolts are rusted

New foundations in Lake Silver. Could these be for the return of REJOICE? They seem to be too spaced out for anything structural like a wider walkway so I’m am guessing decorative.

Checked these out today and I assure they’re not new.  They are indeed the former foundations for the Rejoice sign.  The water is usually up higher which hides these from sight.  The sign is not coming back it was thrown away.

Fire in the Hole is getting on ride photos this season.

I assume that these will be on-ride and not some other photo op.

Think what they did for Time Traveler.  The photo op near Saloon facing FITH.  Photo Booth will be near the actual attraction.  Definitely not an on ride photo

Horrible PPH with that shuttle.  When we get our “Wild Eagle” it will be full circuit
