Ah man, Wild Eagle looks *amazing*. I vote for SDC getting a coaster like this for their next one.

We made it down to DW for Thanksgiving.  Got to go to the park three days.  Had a great time.  The park looked great, the food was very good, and the shows were entertaining.  Always impressed with how quickly their trams get you back to your car.  They had them lined up one after the other.  As Swoosh mentioned, Wild Eagle is a very different ride in the dark.  I thought it was much more fun as you never knew which way you were going.  It is a very smooth coaster.  My youngest daughter loves Adventure Mountain.  We had to go on it all three days.  She claims she could spend all day there.  Got one last ride on the Polar Express 4D motion simulator.  One of the workers told me it won't be back next year.  They are going to have their version of "Christmas Carol" next  year.  I assume it will be the same as SDC's.  Their Christmas lights on Main Street are good.  They need to put a little more effort in the lights in Timber Canyon and back by Adventure Mountain and Wild Eagle in my opinion.  Crowds were managable all three days we were there. Again, had a great time!
