I am amazed at the amount of upgrades going on around the park.  The new Kettle Corn booth looks amazing.  I am not overly thrilled at a few of the other additions (there are a few more carnival games being added that were brought over from CC, which I think are completely out of theme) but I guess I will live with them.  Some HUGE changes will happen after the summer rush if you know where to look... in fact some of the early prep work has begun already.  Part of an old friend has been removed for good.  Lots of new roofs too.  Make sure you keep your eyes open when walking around Opening Weekend.  There are A LOT of changes.

Details on 2015 should start appearing early in the summer, FYI

Swoosh, have you taken a pre opening tour on park, or have you been talking to insiders. If allowed, please post some pictures. Thanks!

I'm... not sure what I think about the kettle corn sign... Kinda gives me vibes of Roller Coaster Tycoon where the food stands are all in the shapes of whatever food they sell (a giant popcorn bag, hamburger, etc).... *shrugs* I dunno. I'll have to see it in person before I can make a full judgment.

Cowboy Jeps has moved to the old Greatest Gift shop.  GG moved to old Love My Country.  And where CJ was next to General Store is the Celebrate American shop.   Bishops water color is moving to the old Bitter Sweet gallery.

I don't understand the need for the hush hush for shop shuffling.

That's about like "hey, we planted two new maples for shade, but don't tell anyone."

Take it up with the PTB. We don't make the rules, we just have to follow them.

I also am not really happy they have put in more paid games this year.  I will have to see them tomorrow.

The kettle corn sign doesn't look like it fits in.  There isn't enough "rustic" to it.
