Yes, Kidsfest gets the park off its theme.  The 1800s didn't see very many Extreme bikes and skateboarders with their thumping music (or singing vegetables for that matter).  I can buy the Circus on Ice thing as a passing-through-town attraction of the day, but they should really be careful about breaking with the theme.  Keeping it fresh while keeping on-theme is the challenge that makes SDC fun.  Are you reading all these posts, Conductor Sam?  Just say no to tacky.

Grand Expo is just BEGGING for a nostalgic band stand where some Dixieland jazz or small bands could perform.  It would add an authentic festival feeling to the area and mask some of the sounds of the rides.

OK, fellas and gals, they're doing some work between Echo Hollow and the Frisco Barn.  There is a wood fence there blocking the view down the hill and into Echo Hollow (Of course, you can't usually see through the trees there anyway.).  Looking through the knot holes, you can see some earth-moving equipment and that an area has been cleared.  Are they merely widening the walkway to Red Gold Hall and the Grand Exposition, or are they putting the "New for '08" Craft Barn in that location?  It seems odd that it would be the latter.  This area is a narrow trail and would just be more congested with people coming in and out of a new structure.

Also, the road re-route is going to be extensive and expensive.  One can definately see how millions are going to be spent on this for next year.  It looks like the parking is going to be much more organized.  We're just hoping they're not setting things up for pay parking in the future.
