Well, Thrilla Gorilla's sign has been changed, presumably due to the tribal caricature that used to be on the sign ![]() I reported last month that Thrilla Gorilla and Monkey Business got new signs. We'll see if it ever ends up reopening Misc Updates I'm not ready to call it dead until the ride is removed but it's really not looking good Speaking of removed rides, Daredevil Dive had its queue removed I think it's pretty safe to say that it's not coming back Tava's Elephant Parade on the other hand has been removed Frog Hopper has no page and isn't together but hasn't been removed Sometimes rides that don't have web pages get them back and reopen (like The Ark), sometimes they don't (like Tazmanian Devil). There's been a big thing lately about how certain rides don't have web pages. Let's start with the big news, Tava's Jungleland is coming back!Īs of my last visit, the Halloween decorations were still up in this back section of the area but now they've been taken downīut the front gates mention that the area will be returningĭoes this mean new rides? Or just reopening? We'll see! (part 2) Kinda cool, when the parade came by, they had this bubble maker that filled the bubbles with fogĪnd finally, there was a Looney Tunes dance party that I didn't get to see! Other Ride Updates It wasn't Universal Orlando level but for a little regional park, I'm glad they had it at all It featured musicians, costumed characters and beads and it wrapped around the park starting and ending from the food court area. The park featured a one man band (shown here) and a bigger band under the food court tent When you think Mardi Gras entertainment, you think two things: first is live music. Other cafes throughout the parks had different special foods Entertainment If you were in the mood for a shrimp boil, they had that too! We also get Bourbon Street Cafe in the former Seaside Sandwiches locationĪnd the menu. This is the first year that the park put on the eventĪnd they did a good job! Let's break it down to food and entertainment! FoodĪs you'd expect, food is an important part of the holiday! There are booths selling drinks and churros throughout the park if you want a really quick biteīut there are more substantial foods too, like at French Quarter Cafe The main fountain got into the act and had its dolphins replaced with some decorations ![]() This is from the park entrance plaza Mardi GrasĪfter that excitement, let's talk about the event of the month: Mardi Gras! ![]() One last picture of Flash, looks like some of the paint is already starting to peel. ![]() I'll keep my eye out but I'd expect it to be open for summer! I can't wait! So glad to see them making real progress on this ride. Yep, the train looks to be mostly back together and it's in the station! Taking a look at the plaza, looks somewhat similar except for that train! Let's lead with the big news! There's a sign hung out front of Flash that says that the ride will open in 2023! For a ride that hasn't been running since March of 2020 (I saw it running on March 8, 2020) that's exciting news! So we'll talk about that but we'll also talk about the Mardi Gras festival at the park as well as some more ride removal news. I can't wait to ride it again after such a long time away. It's coming back later this year! And the train is in the station. I have a treat for you today! On my visit today to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom I found an unexpected but very exciting sign for Flash: Vertical Velocity.
