At this time, only new paint on the rides.  Theme has not been tweaked

I think it's the main theme for the year.

I was just in that area.  The rides still seem to have lots of pealing clear coat and they are still faded in the grand expo.  At least the elephant March is.

Was also there. I saw the Hi Striker was alive and well. Took FOREVER to load and unload the Racing Regatta. Son was disappointed the Electrospin was not running. Saw some new signage. Oh and if you are celebrating you Birthday or Anniversary you get a button at the general store, a free bag or peanut brittle at Browns Candy Factory, a bag of Kettle Corn, a free mini ice cream cone at Hannahs. And then there are the pop up SURPRISES!!

Birthdays/Anniversary... that is a nice little bonus for them to do...

Well darn. Sorry for the misinformation.  I only reported what I was told.

Was just told it is the biggest money maker of the games as long as they can "Jerry Rig It" it's going to be in the park. (Though apparently the news of parts being hard to find was correct)

Hopefully the bailing wire and chewing gum will give out sooner rather than later.  I fear they will just replace it with a new one if it makes 'em some money.  Maybe a new unit could be made to fit in better than the salvaged one.

Wow! at 5 bucks a pop top prize should be a season pass or at least a trailblazer pass!

Chatted up the guy running the Hi Striker. He quit his job and sold his home to move to Branson and work at SDC. He loves the environment and HATES working the Hi Striker. He said that people just complain and yell at him about how the game is rigged and unfair ect ect. He didnt want to do paid games long. I guess no one does.
