From what I have heard, the shooting gallery was moved somewhere else, like you said, but I dont remember hearing anything going there. I think it would look wierd with that as an empty building, but we'll find out soon.

That's really stupid! They should've put the entrance through Carousel Plaza. The only I reason I seem them as not putting it there is so SFGAm can kind of force people to stay in the park after they get out of the waterpark. The people come into SWT, and thus they might choose to ride more. The more people that stay in the park, the more money they make.

The plan may seem sensible for SF, but SWT is crowded enough. I would pack Carousel Plaza with people (by SSA, and STT) instead. That carousel plaza part doesn't get it's fair share of people.

They do this because they want you to pass as many games and stops along the way as possible. This is why they are redoing much of the path leading up to HH by adding games and vendors. From what I hear, the fountain outside orbit will be no more-it will be replaced by a game stall. The more game stalls that SF moves it's people by, then the better chance of getting one to bite.

At SFSTL when I went to their HH the year it opened ( I think 2000) they had the exit wind all the way around into a gift shop.

To add more games(like others said). This is a part of many changes to the park. Very exciting!

To make that part of Hometown Park worse. If they really wanted to put another game right there, why don't they just put it where the old airplanes used to be? Last year, they had a pile of dirt with some flowers right there. A fountain (to me) looks a lot better than a circular flower bed.

The games partly don't make sense though considering that people don't want carry a big thing they won before they get in the waterpark. On the way out, that would be a different story.

They also packed in the game where you have to climb up the ladder near the trampoline/bungee attraction. It will be interesting to see what type of game they put there.

If they do remove the fountain that would be stupid in my opinion, because it made the area look nice, and I also believe that it is from the Marriot days. What game could even fit in that area anyways?

Hopefully they'll make it so the game doesn't look that stupid.

The webcam is working again. It appears that they have installed the end sections on the Hurricane Mountain complex (nearest the camera).

It also appears that all of the atomic coasters are almost complete as well as the toilet bowls.

I thought those were the atomic coasters. Can anyone Clarify this. Hurricane Mountain is the complex behind the wave pool with the 2 high speed body slides, then the four tube slides next to them.

Hurricane Mountain is the towering support structure you see closest to the camera, and the Atomic coasters are behind the wave pool.
Finally Coaster Season!!

So the Camera still has a Winter picture of the No so built park

Could they trying to KEEP US IN SUSPENSE? so there keeping it off till its done and then maybe take one final shot before it opens? They should keep the webcam up year around,. like cedar point does. they have webcams up year around
