Little Dipper will be replacing the Net Climb structure, and the entrance for Dipper will be on the main midway in Yukon and will open in June. There may be other minor adjustments in BBNP. SFGAm said Lodge is being refurbished, but could not say if it will open this year.

I'm sooo glad their not fully getting rid of Looney Tunes National Park. The theming was excellent

I was quite surprised by their decision, but, Am confident that this will hopefully get more people into this area.

I think it'll work out well. Does anyone know if the original neon sign on the station is coming with?

Well, they want to show off that the coaster has "ACE landmark status" so they'll definitely bring it along, or make a new one that is identical.

They did say the neon will remain and it should look pretty similar to how it looked at Kiddieland.

^Flashpass on Little Dipper would be a nightmare.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I think this is really great though. This will open up lines for Demon and Whizzer! Hopefully, with the "good" work of the workers, Capacity could reach, MAYBE 300? If they are implementing the use of a lap bar and a seat belt, then lower.

Wait, how long were the lines at kiddieland?

I went on a busy day and i'd say about 10 minutes. Of course, that's when there was one gate for every row first-come first-serve.

Even if it has low capacity, it will still draw people to one of the barren areas of the park, there seems to be alot of games located there though, im not sure y though.

I think it will be a major hit with guests even those without kids. A 60 year old ride salvaged from a beloved family park will win everyone over. Capacity will hurt the potential it could have had but for $33,000 it is worth every penny.

The Final cost is most likely around upwards of $60,000

$60,000? I think you might be missing a zero in there....
