Awesome! Thanks for the pictures! Those misters are pretty neat looking, and provide a great space for future advertising/sponsers if they ever want to.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter :(

I hope that Garbage Can's family had fun at Six Flags, I doubt due to restraints they were able to ride many rides though.

those pictures are cool. I'm looking forward to these small improvements which might make our park better in the end. I like the mister idea. I always like going under the misters under the train during the hot summer. I like the signs and the garbage cans too.

Welcome to 2007
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

The cool media misters are located at:
Trudy's Sweet Shop
Jesters Wild Ride
Attitudes
Viper entrance
From what i've seen of them so far, they've been very popular with small children, so watch out when walking in those areas to make sure you dont step on anybody :).

Adults can go on all of the Wiggles rides as long as they are accompanied by a child. Here is the minimum height restrictions for a child to ride alone (there is no min if accompanied by an adult).
Big Red Cars - 36"
Big Red Planes - 48"
Dorthy's Rosy Teacups - 36"
Bouncing With Wags - 36"
Yummy Yummy Fruit Salad Tower Ride - 42"

There are also numerous 37" tv monitors around Wiggles World that play clips from the show. The Wiggles gift shop is right under Revolution on the Wiggles side of the midway.

The Flash Pass - SFGAm is the first park to get this new lo-q system. Instead of reserving at the rides entrance, you can electronically join the queue making a reservation on your q-bot, and you can queue for one ride at a time. The integration points are the same as they were before however rides hold the line at the integration point (bottom of the stairs for most rides) which will make a shorter wait. The regular Flash Pass cost $20, the price for a Gold Flash Pass is undecided. The maximum wait for a ride using a Gold Flash Pass is 15 minutes. If a ride goes down for an extended period the team member working Flash Pass at that ride uses his own q-bot to cancel everyones reservation for it, and the message conveys to everybody electronically queueing for it. The Flash Pass sales center is still in the same location in HTS but is bigger because there is a "Flash Pass Briefing Room." All of SFGAm's q-bots are red and yellow, not the green and blue that most parks have. The rides that use it are:

Déjà Vu
Superman Ultimate Flight
Roaring Rapids
Batman The Ride
Loggers Run
Vertical Velocity
Iron Wolf
Raging Bull
Giant Drop
Whizzer

The rides that are getting the new sliding door loose article bins are all of the roller coasters that run more than one train. These are not in yet, they will be at some point during the summer.

A small portion of the "Nature Trail" in BBNP was removed, the main part (nets under BTR) is still there. Trailblazer obviousley is gone.

Kodak is now taking the pictures at the front of the park along with at Loggers Run. Everybody that gets their picture taken gets a "My Six Flags Photos" card where they can view and order their pics online. The "My Six Flags Photos" main building is in Carousel Plaza in the same location where Six Flags used to sell the photos.

The seatbelts were removed from Columbia Carousel.

There is a new guest with disablity ride access policy, the main change from previous years is that now, instead of allowing three people to come through the exit with the disabled guest, only one is allowed. Those who have more in their party, the park now requires that two members of the party wait in line while the other two wait in the exit, then when the people waiting in line get up to the ride, they can all ride at the same time. Everybody with a disability pass must wait the same as the regular standby queue.

Ben & Jerrys is located in Firehouse Pizza HTS and New England Cafe Yankee Harbor. Cold Stone Ice Cream is located in Farmers Market, County Fair. Johnny Rockets of course is the old Wascals building next to Wiggles.

YES! Finally cracking down on the fakers. Not only that, just because you are disabled should mean quicker waiting times, thank god that is finally fixed. Though the exit might get a little congested.

Its going to cause way more problems...Most guests arent going to remember this [if] guest relations even tells them...Plus, if they are waiting in the exit for the rest of the party, those exits are going to get very backed up. I hope it works though...

Gold gives you less of a wait time.
