Dose CP really let prople roam the park freely during off season? I can't believe I had'nt noticed this, I've always thought that the off season pictures were from people working in the park. What do you have to do to get into the park and roam around?

I noticed that Raptor's entrance is being reworked.

Maybe they'll move the Freeway entrance over next to the regular entrance while they're at it.

I wish they'd do that at Magnum too because you always get people coming up the Freeway ramp without stamps looking to get in line. At least Raptor's Freeway was off the beaten path and not right on the midway like Magnum's.

Either that or at least put better signage at the start of the Freeway ramp so people without stamps are less likely to walk up there. People are usually okay when we have a long line and we tell them they have to go around to the regular entrance, but when there's no line, people sometimes get whiney.

The best solution may be to just cut Freeway off at 8 or 9PM on Magnum and close the ramp because we usually don't have much of a line after that time and it's kind of a waste having a person sit down there and not really offering any benefit to guests.

Could someone tell me if there is anything new in this picture? I can't seem to determine what is different about this one.

Adam, you're right. Unless you have a purpose for being in the park (such as processing in, but are they already doing that?) you won't get in, with permission.

Yeah seasonal employees start processing in during the middle of March, in 2002 I procesed in April 4th and my fiancee processed in March 25th. We process in that early to help clean up the park and get the hotels ready for the season, and believe it or not it's a long sometimes hard process. I have pre season pictures from 2002, I loved being in the park pre-season it's so neat.

I think that Iron Dragon's ending pretzel helix looks awesome with that new paint job.

This picture should give you the answer.

Iron Dragon has a different shade than Dragster. The ride looks great in the new colors!

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

Fat Chris, I didn't notice the color of the roof of the rotunda at first either, but I must say, it looks nice.

If it hadn't been pointed out to me, I would have missed it. It's the same blue metal they used on Breakers East.
