White survey markings are located near Katapult and the drink stand by Waveswinger.

I went Sunday and I saw the markings where Big Bad Wolf was, but I also noticed A LOT of silt fencing and what appeared to be new chain link fencing along the banks of the Rhine river. I think the fence may be there as a safety precaution for the firework launch site, but I don't know for sure.

The park was packed for a Sunday night, I think Illuminights has really worked out well for the park. David Cook of American Idol was there Sunday as well, so that may account for the crowds.

I don't think the crowds will be too bad today, right?

No, shouldn't be. If you can you should stay for all the night time shows, I was impressed with them.

Busch Gardens released the website for Christmas Town 2010 today:

As far as the ride selection goes, it looks the same as last year, with Griffion being the only coaster running.

I was a little disappointed that the entire park wasn't going to be used. Italy, Fiesta Italy and the area around Pompeii are omitted from the map again this year. Sesame Street Forrest of Fun and Land of the Dragons (the two children play areas) are also both not on the map.

If you go to the interactive park map section you will notice that Katapult is missing. I know first hand that Katapult was running during last year's Christmas Town because I rode it and froze on it. Looking at the map, it looks as if the park ends around the swings.

Katapult is on there. However, neither Waveswinger nor Katapult are mentioned as open rides.

I did; they had a hot chocolate stand right next to it, so we decided to freeze up then warm up!

I went to the park today to have a last trip for the summer...

Markers are popping around Katapult. There are two, #4 & #5 inside the ride area and a few red dots in a line and an orange dot...

outside the ride closer to the Waveswinger, is #3. They form a weird triangle. there are a few Blue dots in a row next to #3.

I got on last ride on Katapult, I don't think it will be there come October.

Also, I saw a few orange flags/markers pop up around the BBW ride area (seen from the queue of Autobuan)

If everyone was predicting a Drop Tower, then why are there markers by BBW to Katapult?
