Jeff is at the park today and sent me these pics!



there was something on the other side and its the picture below


And there was also one by the old chippers magical mystery ride building...


A sign stating the location of the new ride for next year!

So it looks like a new surprise in Ghost Town for 2013??? Those signs werent there on the 5th!

Edit: Now that i think of it... I have a weird feeling they might relocate bumper cars (they crash.. theyre under a roof) to Ghost Town, and possibly the 2014 addition would take up the bumper cars/chippers dome space...

Covered Crashes sounds like they may relocate the bumper cars.

good to see the the sign confirming the location of the Scooters.

How they would fit it is beyond me... The only thing I can think of is either removing Condor and putting them there, or tearing down some of the middle strip of the western buildings...

Yeah i have no idea where they would put it in ghost town

Edit: they also could take a part of the nightmare queue but i dought it.

The other thing i could think is in the saloon i mean there hasn't been entertainment in there in a while and last year the sheet rocked over the bar

I wouldn't count on Saloon... That would be a squeeze, and they use it for Saloon of Darkness now... Unfortunately, with the refurb of the Fest Haus, the need and interest for the Saloon just wasn't there to keep using it.

I updated AJ's post to include the other side of the sign in ghost town, and the other one near the old chippers building

This just turned into one giant game of Clue....But im not convinced any of this has to do with new rides besides the scooters.
The backside of the sign in Ghost Town really threw me off...
As for Chippers.... What comes to mind is expanding and putting the Coke Freestyle machines currently in Storytown in Chipper's dome and making it winter themed.... And then i thought, well our scrambler is named Blizzard so relocation of the scrambler back into the dome and winter theme the dome? But then the dome would have to be updated to safety and fire codes so thats whats not leading me to believe that about the scrambler... I seriously dont know. Theyve got us good this time.

my guess is that the bumper cars are moving to the arcade building in ghost town, knock down chippers dome and put the scrambler back. the one of a kind experiance kinda makes me question moving the bumper cars, maybe they will turn the lights off or something. I also want to know if they are moving blizzard, what would replace it?

[mrceagle]

The main building has a second theater area in the front of the building. it's rarely open. The building is wide more then wide enough to install a bumper car building.

as for the chipper dome I suspect they would remove it for anything to do there. even for a drink stand area you would have to update the building.
