Are the Skeletons still along the train tracks?

With the addition of Shoot the Rapids and CP's continuing disection of Frontier Town, can anyone who visited the park this year let me know if the animated skeletons are still along the train route?

Yes they are. The entire Shoot The Rapids area looks great and it does not hurt the ambiance of Frontier Town. I think you will like it once you see it.

I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,

Hopefully they will have Boneville and the skeletons there for many more years to come! They've been there since when... the early 60's?

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!

Here are some pics that I took from my Memorial Day weekend trip to the park (Sunday and Monday) and several of the pics are of the skeletons and Boneville. Enjoy!

I was a little sad when I went through during the week last week and the fire scene section wasn't turned on. no fire, no water coming out of the hose, no skeletal cowboy sliding out of the saloon.

I was worried about this. I love the Boneville stuff. We are taking our 5 year old daughter for the first time in September and she is obsessed with skeletons. I can't wait for her to see it! I've shown her pictures and she's very excited.

"And let's also not forget--let's not forget, Dude--that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city--that isn't legal either. "

Anybody else ever notice that the sign in Boneville indicates the correct population? Or at least it did; I don't remember if the sawmill scene screwed it up or not...

Working on the engines we spent many rounds debating the population count. We weren't sure whether the pair of hands pumping water by the fire scene counted as an entire citizen or not. Does the skeleton in the hearse at the shoot-out scene count even though he is "dead"? We assumed that the skeleton that loses the shoot-out duel was part of the count too before his untimely passing. The real question is whether or not skeletons can "die" within the world of Boneville.

Population count aside, I don't think we lost any skeletons to STR. The Polecat Pickers moved towards Millennium Force and they were the only ones in the immediate vicinity.

For those interested, here is my newly edited CP&LE video that I shot about a month ago. This is the return trip with a focus on Boneville.
