Done the haunting today for first time this season. nice to see the updated projectors, also I was told the male portrait was replaced, maybe it was at the time but it’s still there as off today but harder to see now idk if that’s cause they made it darker or the higher quality projection has made it harder to see through

I just read that in my head in one breath, now I need a lie down.

As for future plans currently the Excalibur lake has been totally been drained. You can see all the turntables is still in place. Now I know the ride wont ever come back as they make a fortune out of the Halloween and Christmas event but they could be planning on removing the old theming.

IIRC, the Excalibur lake is regularly emptied most closed seasons, it is filled by the stream that runs through the lake but is invisible when the lake is up to lake level. It would not surprise me if they are planning to remove the scenery though, most of it is in a really bad state now after rotting for decades in the elements.

A poor show for the start of the season, but they seem to be getting rides open at a pretty decent pace.

I wonder what we can expect new from the park next. Clearly not the great return of Pirate Adventure that so many were absolutely unarguably certainly opening this spring.
