They were playing pop music in carousel plaza to

Does anyone know if they're still only allowing two reservations for Goliath on the platinum pass, or have they removed that limit?
I've lost my coaster count.

The website only says single rides only on the Platinum Flash Pass. I think the limit was removed.

Wasn't until 2014 when that same limit was removed from X-Flight. One can assume the same pattern but I'll wait and see. It's confirmed to be available on JLBFM so that will have the 2 limit.

They just updated the entertainment portion of their site to include Party Gras. Based on the pictures and the descriptions, it seems like it'll be a pretty cool show. Can't wait to check it out.

I am now a park employee. I work as a ride team member. I can tell all you guys all right now that NONE of the roller coasters have got repainted this year, and probably none of them will. The only rides that got repainted were all the rides in KIDZOPOLIS. I know we were all hoping that a roller coaster would get repainted this year, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen! I don't know why the park is waiting so long to paint Superman Ultimate Flight and Vertical Velocity. Both of those rides paint job look like absolute CRAP! Their paint jobs are in REALLY BAD condition!

Update list:

Goliath is running both train(I got on the first train of the season!)

SWT got new wood for the path between viper and JBs.

Yellow train isn't running this season on Demon.

Strutters seemed to have an LED sign.

Operations were actually pretty good. Minimal stacking.

Viper now has pouches in the cars for items.

Goliath now has a disney-esque way of checking seatbelts. Lapbar is still the same.

No more Goliath walkback. You can run there.

New announcer once again.

Demon seems to have gotten a lot smoother. Might just be me.

I might've missed something, so if I did, post it.
