They are also going to implode this tent.

By implode, do you mean fold up and move across the park?

No, I mean like dynamite, explosions, and bunny rabbits! It will be a spectacle of insane proportions! Tickets go on sale Tuesday.


Well in that case, maybe it will be replaced with fluffy fluffy bunnies filled with medicine and goo.


...and they will also be dynamited in a fluffy gooey explosion of awesomeness! Sad to see Jaws like that, but the mini golf looks great.

Yeah, I'm not much for mini-golf these days, but this one looks like a lot of fun.

Ah, Jaws... Jaws is gone, but not Hulk freaking Hogan? EPIC SWEATY FAIL.

The mini-golf looks amazing. And why did they need to do that with Jaws? It was such a nice area... But Harry Potter expansion will be just as good, if not better!

It would be nice to get another coaster where Jaws was, even though it's highly unlikely.

^It's not highly unlikely - there's a great deal of talk about a Gringott's coaster/dark ride combination in that spot.
Last Ride: California Screamin' (DCA)
Next Ride: Intimidator 305 (KD)

I was fortunate enough to check out the updated BMG show (thanks to the awesome Student Discount, $35 tickets) and it was fantastic. I had seen the old show several times...and I loved all the updates. I was just not as overwhelmed with the show in its entirety. I feel they pushed the inside jokes and didn't really explain...although I could be a little biased for the fully covered TP ending and the original animation section were super impressive and way deeper. I was fortunate to see the original show around 5 or 6 times, and I have seen a few of the touring shows. The updates were absolutely necessary and the ending was very impressive...I just am partial to the original...but again it's because of first time experiences. I still love the show...I just wish they had kept more of the old aspects in more then just a reference. Just one mans opinion ;) Don't worry, I don't think I'm right and I know everybody enjoys different. things.

Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!

^8am - 2pm? Special event later? That seems very odd!

^Yeah, why would you want your minj-golf course open during the time at which people are unlikely to play? Maybe it's some kind of "soft opening"?

EDIT: So, it's actually 2:00 am.
