I took I picture of it so I decided to ask that on FB. I thought maybe it was a new building going in or something, but it turned out it was a rope course. Like I said on FB, if it's like any I've been on, they can get you going on those narrow walkways on high places.

I expected something upcharge rather than another attraction. We already got Little Dipper, and a parade for the year. Though, this might ruin the Demon haunted attraction during Fright Fest. It's not like I care if that thing is gone, but who knows where it would go with a ropes thing in that area? Already, the Space Shuttle America area is off-limits for the other "alien" maze because of Chang, and the Little Dipper is now in the kids section, so they can't put it there either.

If I'm not mistaken it will be up-charge.

I wonder if it will have a theme like Dollywoods or just be a basic "net climbing" structure(think kiddieland), though they did have a volcano ;)

I wonder if they will paint it because it looks kind of ugly with the gray. We went from getting a parade, then a coaster, than magiquest and now a ropes course. And some of you only thought we were getting a parade HA!

Actually, if I'm not mistaken these net climb attractions aren't too expensive. At most a hundred grand?

^thats only if you don't do any theming or anything like that. The one at Dollywood I would assume was very expensive.

In case there is any question, I looked through the fence today and saw a crate labeled "Ropes Courses Inc." with an address in Allegan Michigan.

During the day today they went from no ropes to a decent chunk on there. This thing might be ready in a few weeks or sooner.

Hopefully this new upcharge attraction will be more popular than Magiquest.

^ I don't think magi-quest is unpopular. It is just for a very limited crowd. Nerds and young boys.

I hope so. No theme yet, I wonder if they will paint it.

Paying as much as $10-$15 to walk on rope...RATHER save another $15 or so and do Dare Devil Dive
