Has she done the IOA hunt? Thats really fun...
Just to give you all a quick update on USF & IOA....
USF, currently running the Mardi Gras celebrations. Absolutely packed every week so far. This could be because the hours are more uniformed that previous years! Everyweek the park closes, and parade starts, at 8pm. No more of the different hours on different weeks!
Lots of New floats this year (And for those, like me, who care, lots of different colored beads).
Still have the expected alligator keeping up the rear, and a couple of other traditional floats!
The final band has been announced. You will have "BIG & RICH" on March 25th.. Today is "Earth, Wind & Fire".
OK, Jaws has been open for the past couple of months! The river of fire has been on & off, dependant on capacity! Obviously this is done to save on fuel costs!
Apart from that its running very smoothly and everything seems to have been improved. Smoke effects added, sharks painted (See my pics added to the Jaws section, once they get approved, hint hint)
Over at IOA.....
Sylvestor McMonkey McBeans (I hate that name) driving machines is in full construction/repair.. Lots of sections of track are missing. (Safety work being done) Consequentaly a large area has been cordened off to the public...
Ripsaw Falls is still closed, but being tall I've been able to take a look over the wall and see the improvments! Lots of cleaning up but the biggest change is the "slide" down. The material they've used seems to have changed! Perhaps to slow the flume on the drop, or to make it safer!! Also scaffolding up.. Still see it being closed for another month or so! Everything else running smoothly.
IF you're going soon, have fun!! If not, book up now!!!
Stay safe!
