A Marvin/K-9 statue was added to the yard of X-Flight.

Also, the TVs actually had real use in lines. All I've seen this season was commercials, Justice League trivia and Baseball Bugs. Yesterday they rolled out far more trivia including Looney Tunes trivia and I think I saw 4 or 5 different cartoons played.

Marvin was there last month, I'm not sure exactly when they added him though. He's already tipping over lol. They def played a lot more trivia & Looney Tunes ep than usual. but what I noticed was when the heck did they add the tarps to Raging Bulls line? Have I seriously not noticed? I swear it's always been the wood beams but not brown tarps as well...

TDK's face screen thing was down yesterday (11/6) AND much of the sound effects (ie. the big machine gun just prior to the drop).

I told the ride ops about this because ride just isnt' the same without the sound effects. Then I happened to pass by Hank Salemi on the way out! I didn't know it was him until I saw his nametag ,so I said, "Are you Hank Salemi" and he said "Yes!". So I told him about the TDK sounds being down. He said "I'll check into it. We now have plenty of time to fix that!".

I would love if that car/flashing light/and horn at the end broke and was never fixed.

I actually love that horn at the end! It makes me think of our Blackhawks scoring a goal!

I think that it is pretty funny that they assume that everyone knows what the Take Six Cafe, Macho Nachos, Strutters etc are. Also, I got some kind of Oriental style restaurant in place of the Wild Horse Saloon. I can't wait to find out what park this is for!

I'd love all of that! Especially if the new Bakery replaces the GoFresh Cafe in Orleans Place.

Garfield is interesting. I think a family ride would fit the theme well.

The Wild Horse Saloon sounds nice. The menu sounds especially nice. Much better than JB's menu.

Maybe SFGAm is finally taking my advice and adding a Uni-Mart :lol: (Yes I realize it's a grocery store but they have great food)

^The subs were awful when I had them. Quite bland, and had a sugary taste. Not something you want to taste in a Sub Sandwich.

I find it interesting they use Garfield. Kennywood already has a dark ride with him as the centerfold.
Check out my Coaster vids

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

Hmm... I wonder if Pizza Hut will be replacing Primo's in the coming years

I still kinda wish it was Papa Johns but I'm fine with either

I'm 99% sure those are fake. But if they are true, we'll know next season. The rumor says it closes after 2017.
