Nachos aren't that bad to make. When I volunteered, I was at the Carousel Coke stand. All you had to do was get a pre-made tub of chips, and add cheese/jalapenos.

As for the funnel cakes, it'd be so much better if they pre-made the funnel cakes and left them under a warmer. That way, they can just take a funnel cake, add toppings, and serve. It does remove the freshness, but it will make the ice cream last a bit longer instead of immediately melting.

Any idea if they have maps in Spanish? My teacher likes my roller coaster obsession and it would be a good kick if I could get a map in Spanish for her.

The only parks I know who have international maps are Disney. I have a Japanese Epcot map.

Have a few questions to ask:
-Does anybody know what the inside of Strutters is expected to be like?
-Do we know if anything is going to be in the Pictorium this season?

I just picked up a 2016 park map and unfortunately I don't see any new Coke Freestyle locations like Hank promised back in January. At the very least there should be water/ice self service stations.

Thank god, those were a nightmare and a big part of the reason funnel cake lines were so long.

Interesting how they're going to have two units named Totally Kickin' Chicken, it will be really confusing, they should've renamed the older one to something different.


Totally Kickin' Chicken:
One (by Demon) is only plain Chicken strips.
One by American Eagle are plain or sauced (Buffalo, teriyaki, BBQ, etc.)
Does sauce take up that much space?

Hoping its just for advocate day and that they will be playing themed music once the park actually opens.

Something you need to consider... does the average guest really care about the themed music? I'm willing to bet most guests will enjoy hearing upbeat current music rather than the older themed music.

Not Really. I bet the average guest does not even notice the themed music being played and that is how it should be. With the pop music it is a lot more noticeable and people will complain about how they don't like the song ect. About 6 years back that played the pop music and I heard people all over the park complain on how they did not like this song ect.

I honestly don't even care what kind of music they play around the park, as long as they will keep the theme music for Carousel Plaza. It's not like this is a Disney park, SFGAm is just an average amusement park.

If them not using themed music anymore is in fact permanent, then that's rather disappointing. I know people say it's just a Six Flags park and it doesn't really matter, but the themed music really helped create a nice atmosphere that's lacking at many other parks and set us apart a bit. I agree with the above post, though, and hope they at least keep the themed music for Carousel Plaza.
