Great report and pictures. I'm glad you were able to get back to the park. I didn't realize the Golden Kingdom theming and buildings were in bad condition before seeing those pictures like the elephant.

It looks like Cedar Fair is going to start offering All Season Fast Lane Plus good at all parks. Dorney is selling it for $849. Dorney only went up from $125 to $175.

It's great to see another park add a new rapids ride when other parks are removing them.

It does have 1, 2 and 3 dots that add up to 6.

I agree about Wild Mouse's operations. The rule of no more than 2 teenagers or adults per car really slows things down combined with the confusing loading system and 1 person checking restraints and advancing the cars makes the line barely move. When I rode the coaster last week, they were only running 4 cars and dispatches were so slow that my car was the only one on the main part of the ride and the other 3 were in the station.

I don't think I have ever seen that before.

I went back to Dorney on Monday to see the Grand Carnivale Parade. It was less crowded than my trip to the park last week. Before the parade there are music performances throughout the Grand Carnivale area and some other small shows including an acrobat. The parade starts in Camp Snoopy, goes to the main midway, goes around the carousel and back down the main midway. I was originally going to watch the parade near the carousel but decided to go to Camp Snoopy where it was much less crowded and I was able to leave before most people and not deal with any traffic leaving the park. There are lots of bead necklaces thrown, enough for anyone who wants them to be able to get them. I thought the parade was very good especially for a regional park but I preferred Glow in the Park slightly more. Ride Count: Water Slides, 16 Lazy River, 1 Thunder Canyon, 1 White Water Landing, 1 Thunder Creek Mountain, 1 Talon, 1 Hydra, 1 Steel Force, 1 Wild Mouse, 1 When I see Haunt construction, I know it means the end of the water park season will be here soon.

Happy Birthday MarioSonic94 and Up_Up_And_Away

When I had the Disney World app open to try to book additional FP+, it seemed like over half the time I had to force stop the app and re-open it to get it to work properly. It would freeze up or say there is no one in the party to book FP+ for. I have had to bring battery power pack and cable with me into the parks because it also really drains the phone battery.

It sounds like they will be replaced with something new

With 2 slides it shouldn't be as bad, in addition to the 2 other water slide coasters they already have and the full size waterpark to go with it. It seems like Breaker's Edge constantly has a 2 1/2 hour wait on the weekend.

https://www.holidayworld.com/rides/cheetah-chase/ A launched water slide sounds cool. If it succeeds, I hope more parks add similar type slides.

I read somewhere that Six Flags has to invest a certain amount of money towards La Ronde every so often (maybe every year or few years?). If that is true, I guess it's an inexpensive way to add a new ride to the park. If the ride does end up there, it will be interesting to see with different regulations if the ride can run as intended like the Zac Spin coasters outside of the US.

I saw some pictures of the parking lot last weekend. I couldn't believe where they were parking cars, anywhere that there was open space. If you had to walk over 100 steps to the top of Aquablast because the entrance was still open, I think you should have been able to ride. I accept that when I go to the water park, it's going to be mostly poor operations with the occasional lifeguard that keeps the lines moving. Thanks, I am going to try to go back to the park one day this week before it ends.
