Great Pics as ususal GA! I'm surprised to see the "normal" prices for Carnegie and I'm pleased that the sandwich sizes did not suffer! Now we just need to be sure the quality doesn't either.

Mmmmm Woody Allen Sandwich!

Also, we were just commenting on something similar for Wildside Pizza. The plastic sign was just bad. I'm glad they kept the themeing.

Also, the Castle Arcade has been open since at least Saturday.

Nice pickle.



:P Great update GA, hopefully things will start to get moving with ET (literally). Who knows what those workers could be doing, there have been a lot up there over the past week. Would it really take this long just to prepare to test? As always, great views. Nice job once again!

Awesome pics GA! :) Great to see Chiller Blue testing, and PDC looks great.

Here's my favorite pic (entrance to the twister section):

It's so cool! Hopefully El Toro will start testing this weekend or soon thereafter. :banana:

PdC is really nice, I can't wait til I get to see it! I hope Chiller Blue will hopefully start running consistently. Now, all we need is El Toro!

Will Alcatraz still be an upcharge ride? -- Something that'd be cool to find out.

GA you impressed me with the two shots of the cake, how you remembered to take an aftershot.

Nice pics, as always, GA. I like the colors they did for La Cocina, it is much more inviting then the dirty, run down image it had last year. Also, I am so glad they made a new sign for RT! It looks so good and brings so much more modern life to this ancient relic!

Anyone notice that they are not done painting Tango's sign? There are some wooden planks on the right side of the sign that should be painted in festive colors to match the other side, but in the pic they just have the wood exposed. Still looks like a bit of work needs to be done.
