Planet Snoopy, Will it be Done Opening Day?

It actually looks like some work is going on there today.

It's hard to believe they'd be able to work with all the snow we just had stormed on us. I'm not worried about this because April usually shapes up and we have warmer weather. Granted this is Ohio so it could snow in April, but not like this last one we just had.

^hmm just like last year...The Indians got snowed out (the entire series)! Speaking of that they still did not change, in fact they made it earlier we play on 31st at home!

Houston: We have vertical construction... well, sort of. :)

"Vertical construction" yesterday, and a concrete truck today. Looks like it is "go time" for Planet Snoopy. Looks like we will all be glued to the cams from here on out! ;)

I'm sure they're working on remodeling the kids restaurant right now.

^Considering they have had the entire winter to work on that, I would hope that it is about to be wrapped pretty soon. Just my two cents. :)

Tony and Tyler seem fairly optimistic as usual, posting pictures of the "frames" of some rides and more dirt. I sure hope they get it completed by opening day, but it's almost April!

PS will be open on time, it is only a concrete and landscaped area with kids rides. That will not take long, late today they moved the first ride in. I could not see if it went into it's permanent spot or not, but it is next to the Happy Frier as in the artist drawing.

^ And plenty of concrete has been poured this morning and the landscaping for an area that size should be a piece of cake. My old landscaping crew that I worked on in high school could have that done in two days flat.

The majority of Planet Snoopy is concrete [insert concrete jungle joke here]. The rest is electrical and plumbing (already done I believe), a couple small structures (doesn't take very long), and the rides (all prebuilt; carnivals pull this off every week).

I would not concerned.

Although, they still have to work on getting Skyscraper built and MaXair worked on; they still have plenty of time to get Planet Snoopy finished. I totally agree with Craig, carnys gets mess like that up in no time....hmmm, thats an idea....maybe we should bring carnys in to get the job done... :-)

And I'm guessing majority the construction workers at CP have a full set of teeth and aren't wasted while doing their work. :)

Some of them might have a tooth or two knocked out ; )

I would hope they have dental insurance to take care of that. :) Speaking of carnies, I'll never forget my 5 year old cousin asking what that funny smell was in the air surrounding the campers at the back of the county fair. Makes you wonder how safe those carnival rides are...being constantly re- and disassembled by stoned or drunk carnies. :)

I love how this is about Planet Snoopy and we're getting all giggly talking about carnies...haha. It does make you wonder though, because they are not taken care of like they are supposed to. I think thats why I stopped going to the fair where I live, thats just like death waiting to happen. They pull in a place after driving for so many days and then they start assembling that night until wee hours of the morning. Then they constantly work until the week is up, tear it down all in one night and move onto somewhere else. Carnies amaze me...haha. And I also like how my friends at home here call me a professional carny =)

Ok Planet Snoopy is coming along just fine, but I am wondering what this piece of rock work is in the background:
