In that quotation that Shave posted, did anyone else besides me notice that the words
"Mystery" and "Mine" were both used, and they were both capitalized??!! Coincidence or just a choice of words? hmm......
You have a great past just ahead of you.

Good catch, DCB! Grammatically, both words should probably not be capitalized, and Swoosh has pretty good grammar, so I'm thinkin' you're on to something in that it could be a hint...

I like the look of all the new signage. It looks really clean and slick. Can't wait to make it to the park this season!

Lots of good stuff. Anyone know why the medicine wagon is gone and if it will come back?

Biting my tongue about the Trailblazer queue. They expand that just a little more each year...

I can remember that stage being used for years during the Mountain Music festival and by small groups with little or no amplification.  I hate to see these little things disappear.

And why does Aunt Polly's sign show a thigh and wing of chicken when they are only serving strips.............?

Ecuador Mantra was the last group I saw using it, but they have since moved near the old time photos.

Damn, so now they have a straight up 'Fast Pass' just like Six Flags. The day has come. With a few more rides and less and less of the old pieces of the city, it'll be hard to call this anything more than just another overpriced amusement park before long.

I know the issue is hotly debated, but I can't get my head around fast passes. After spending somewhere in the $50-80 range to get into the park, you now get to be inconvenienced at every turn by longer waits due to those who can shell out that price again to cut in line 'legally', not to mention all the kids who cut in line unhindered already. Every time I see one of those lines it's like seeing a middle finger to all the other paying customers. I already avoid a number of other parks because of these situations, I hope I don't have to start avoiding SDC in the summer time as well.
