If they make any changes to the Saloon it will no longer be grandfathered and will have to comply with ADA standards

Not exactly. There is no "grandfather clause".

All places of public access must comply with the 1991 ADA standards. Modifications after March 15, 2012, must comply with the 2010 ADA standards.

Your "point" was that any changes have to comply with current ADA standards, and that's not true.

But, you're always right, we're always wrong, you always know better, blahblahblah.

It looks like the current plan is that Dickens' will return with new music, there will be a new Broadway style show called Home for Christmas and the Saloon show will return to the saloon for Christmas.

Very cool. Glad to see it's official, and the extra show is a nice surprise. Will be weird without the Wallace's though, so whatever casting they do to replace them will make or break the show.

Just hope they have enough staff for all this...

Well in this case, you *ARE* wrong. I never once stated “current” in my post.  Now *YOU* did and therein lies the issue.

Looking forward to it!

There is a new light pole at the top of paid parking. It looks to have some network equipment at the top. I really appreciate that they used a nice looking light pole and not the standard wooden pole (not in the photo, the the base has some ornamental design to the base).

We also noticed that there has been quite a bit of grit material added down the hills from the square. Is this something that is done every fall? I don't remember it in the past. I assume that it is to add traction for the winter.

I have been told by several people that one of TT's trains was sold to Plopsaland for ride to Happiness. Not sure what they were thinking, but perhaps they were offered a bunch of money for it and will replace it later? I feel like supply chain issues probably had something to do with it.

Regarding the post about SDC selling back one of Time Traveler's trains to MACK. Looks like this might indeed be it in action on "The Ride to Happiness" at Plopsaland De Panne. I noticed the trains and some of the theming here looks identical too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqOZESuLZR4

Ha Ha, NO. All 3 trains are still there. They haven't, nor would, sell any trains to another park.

Agrred.!!   The Steam Engine Trains that SDC owns now, wont be going anywhere.

They are talking about the rumor/news that SDC sold one of the Time Traveler coaster trains, NOT one of the steam trains.

[shavethewhales]

If the third train is still around, it must be/have been in pieces most of this season. That rumor started when we didn't see the third train anymore and the exact same trains popped up at Plopsaland. I definitely believed it. Not like SDC has been trying to run multiple trains on anything very often for the past couple of years, and parts for anything are impossible to come by these days.

[Swoosh]

Every coaster but TT is running two trains today.

[shavethewhales]

That's fantastic news. Time Traveler is the one that needs it most unfortunately, but it is what it is. The park reached capacity today from the sounds of it, so I'm glad they are trying to get everything running at peak capacity again.
