I have a hunch that (just like with Freefall) it was a combination of maintenance issues from years of neglect combined with lack of staff.

If they were smart, they would purchase an Electronic Ticker that tells you which rides are closed for the day. The amount of paper they go through printing those signs every day is alot.

And it doesn't really look that official. Tango is closed again, I wonder what is wrong with it. Great update.

Nice update (as usual) GA! Isn't a little early for the Fright Fest signs to be going up?

Nice pictures. It's too bad Riptide is closed. It seemed to have a very short operating season this year

Nice update. I clearly remember the update you had that said Freefall was open, and I remember how happy I was to see that. It just hurts to see the best "flat" in the park down for the rest of the season (without even riding it this year), as well as all of the other rides.

One thing I really want to see next year is better operations in the park overall. They should have more time in the off-season to work with all of the rides instead of working on a big new attraction like they have over the last two years.
