Do you mean the the end of the ride? I'm pretty sure it's gone because I noticed that now there are panoramic views of the train from the lost river to the crossing I don't remember anything obstructing the view of the track except whats left of GG. But I could be wrong I wasn't really looking for it.

That would have been hid behind GG and would have involved actually going over to GG to actually see it.  You wouldn't have been able to see it from Lost River

No, it wasn't, I meant that from the end of the lost river to the crossing, the guests view of the tracks are now un-obstructed. I guess my mind doesn't work the same as everyone else's I think in terms of where you can see the train and when lol. But for you picture-takers there's going to be great chances this year to get some new shots of the updated look of the Frisco, I think you'll be surprised with the shiny new paint job.

^IF they don't build some kind of fence to block it...

^I hope they passed on the pink and purple polka dots!  Tell us about this "updated look" if you dare.  Have there been radical new changes?

There will be a fence around the WB location, so IDK what "unobstructed views" you are going to get this year that you didn't last year.  I'd think your views would have been better last season

I didn't think about that. You're probably right.

I have been missing for a while...but I am back!
And although GG does not "fit", it is a great addition.  I have little kids, and few things beat the joy of a slide!
And believe me I would not be at all upset if they got rid of the stinky rose dipping and put a ball pit back in there, and put the big tube slides in that you could race down.  (Just like when I was a kid).
I am just saying a new coaster is great if you are over 42inches in height.  But for those of us who have to explain 200 times a day all of the things that they *can't* do, I would like to see more things that they *can* do.  Including more crafts.  Dipping candles are about the only hands on thing left. 
Which reminds me how irritated I was last summer that the "kid crafts" area was really just a big sales arena.
The GE needs a few characters.  But I would rather see a truly kid oriented area around the new water battle thing and give me tom and huck and twain.

^Do what my parents did when I was little - have the height marks on a wall at home and have the kid measure themselves before they go so they know exactly which ones they can and cannot ride (Mom made them, just a little bit taller then the actual height, just in case the measurements at the park were "off" compared to at home -- better safe then sorry).  This prevented a lot of complaining from us kids because we already knew if we were tall enough to ride certain rides before we got to the park.

The only rides NOT for sale at Celebration City are Wildcat, Electric Star Wheel, Carousel, Accelerator, & Roaring Falls.  The last 3 are rumored to be coming to SDC.  Watch for, I mean, notice, the markers where Waterboggan used to be, when riding by on the Frisco!  :)
