Photos of everything going on around the park on labor day of 2016, construction video to come soon. Im going to assume once the park is closed for winter, that the train tracks and station will moved in the direction towards the Eiffel Tower to incorporate the station for Mystic Timbers.................i wont be surprised if this doesn't happen.

If Field of Dreams has nothing to do with baseball playing zombies then they're doing it wrong.
What are these for?

Has there been much said about the entire entrance plaza to the ride and what not? Cedar Fair has recently re-done areas and not just plop down rides, so I'm wondering if we're going to see some new plaza.

According to those photos showing the process of clearing lands, I believe that MT will be looking way better than the "simulated" one posted online.

Hope so. :)

Couple Quick updates:

-Field of Screams: from what I've heard, It'lll be like a hybrid maze. You will be able to choose your own path out of the two provided. half will be indoor and half will be outdoor. For anyone that has done the Cornstalkers mazes formerly at KI and now at other cedar fair owned parks, basically think of this maze as Cornstalker 2.0

-Mystic Timbers: BOY OH BOY THAT HILL IS HUGE

Some pictures from the employee Dry run last night. Always fun and some of the mazes i have never been through are AMAZING.


But first a couple things: MYSTIC TIMBERSIS PERFECT FOR RIVERTOWN. You can literally see it from ANYWHERE in Rivertown.


My thoughts on the two mazes i went through:
-BLACKOUT: I can now see why this is what was considered the best maze in the area. You can LITERALLY see nothing.All though if you run into a dead end multiple times you probabily have the wrong person leading your group :lmao:

-Field of Screams: Located in Coney Mall, in the middle of nowhere, behind Dinosaurs Alive and thats all im saying about this maze................

Panoramic view of the maze on the left, and a house on the right. Don't know why the house was there. Probably just for scenery.

And one of the best things i love about haunt, is BLOODDRUMS. a must see show and they've mixed it up this year with New Music than i think the past years since the show first started.

They're making really good progress with this! It might be about halfway done by Thanksgiving at this rate.

I don't blame them. If there is one place I don't want to be during a midwestern winter it's 100ft in the windy air.

Couple things

Looks like an RMC truck stopped by KI? Photo cred to KICentral on twitter.
Other is my youtube video from the dueling banjos outside of the log flume. A new video on construction from labor day will be up soon.

Eh I'm not going to believe that unless I see the truck in clear writing. There are a ton of little cranes like that everywhere, and white is a super common color.

Everytime I hear dueling banjos I think of Virginia and remind myself I never want to drive I-95 around there again.

Judging by the footers that has got to be pretty much the top of the lift.

As in fact it is. BUT LET ME SAY THIS. I never thought of how tall this ride would be until i walked into the park, heading through Snoopy, and heading to the log flume for work. over the tree's IN SNOOPY, you can see the lift top. THIS THING IS HUGE. anyways here's some construction pics from the park's snapchat (photo creds to the park's snapchat)

I can't wait for this ride to open since people will finally realize that there's nothing in the shed.
