Closing Day 2018

Hopefully with the season officially ending, we will start getting info on what's new for 2019.

We already did - Forbidden Frontier. Other stuff will probably be announced at Winter Chillout as has been customary in years past.

Well I know we got a tease for Forbidden Frontier, but would love to know more about the plans for the old Witches Wheel location, and any other upgrades they are making. Like what's going on where All Wheels Extreme used to be. I know there was the Fire & Ice show this year but doubt they cleared that structure for that.

Maybe for Winter Chill out we can tour the vacant lot where Cedars used to stand.

Re: Forbidden Frontier, everything I've seen says "Summer 2019". I'm thinking that whatever it is, it may be up and running opening day. Maybe Memorial Day weekend or later? We'll see.

With complimentary penicillin with our goodie bags.

Was it a cat house at one point? XD

to Paisley, sounds like you did very well.

Blue Streak, Millennium, Magnum, Super Himmalaya, and at least 6 walk on Steel Vengeance rides in two hours ain't bad. Topped it off with a night time walk down the boardwalk for a really nice end to the season. I think I'm whole ;)

Im anxious to see what the park has in mind for the Cedar's location. I park right in front of Cedar's and Im hoping they don't wipe out all of those huge trees there. My bet is they they will expand parking since its very tight there and will somehow bring back closer parking for Famous Dave's. Im just not sure how they will work that out now that the marina is controlled parking.

With the exception of 2018, within the past 5 or so years, I have been more excited for the attractions and upgrades that are announced later in the off season rather than the big reveal they usually do before the previous season ends.

We will see if its coming down or not. Cedars demise has been a yearly rumor for at least the past five years since we have been on Pier 13. I agree the parking this year was very good. Even with the gate I have seen people sneaking in. The gate closing time has been reduced greatly since the beginning of the year. I still had times where I had to park between HR and Cedars but mostly during holiday weekends.

The people I saw park in the north lot and walking to and from Famous Daves didn't seem to mind the extra distance that I noticed.

Good point. We are all assuming (and hoping) the Cedars is coming down with the opening of the new dorms on the mainland. I have heard that Famous Dave's revenue was significantly down presumably due to the new parking restrictions. Its just a pure guess, but assuming the Cedars comes down, they will address that issue somehow.

“Hi, I’m famous Alecia, I’ll be your sever...” love that place! It did seem slow(er than usual) this season.

Could be because of the tableside severing.
