TOPGUN1993

Oktoberfest still exists, just a little smaller.

What you see in the photo is just the base color on the masks. More to come to make them feel aged and ancient.

July 14th 2007 The magnet board was replaced for the 2007 season with this scrolling sign (Photos from June 27th 2007)

Here are some photos from opening day 2006 if that's helpful.

Actually... What you're seeing is a lesser known logo for Flight Commander commonly used on merchandise for the attraction. (See examples below) It's common for rides and attractions to have more than one logo. I wouldn't call the merch team "lazy", I think they're doing a great job with the designs. Excited to see the full 50.

This was funny

Backstage during construction of the Lobby exhibit.

Had we had more room we could of displayed more in the lobby. They are indeed very fragile and amazing they are still around.

I would assume its from Carnivale. China food tent backdrop?

That model in the lobby was pretty neato.

It's looked like this for a number of years. They typical store bike racks in this location for parking lot events. (Robbie Knievel, walking/running events, Haunt, etc)

Are you able to repost this? The link is broken.

Fun Fact, there is a 2nd floor above the Spanish Building (Sweet Spot) This location was used for offices during the 90s, hasn't been since. The only way to access the upstairs is via ladder once they removed the midway facing steps.

I purchased these around 2013, they haven't sold them in the park for a number of years. Happy with my purchase then.

I vote Flight of Fear... that is all.

The front row on those G trains ran fairly smooth imo. I would typically always wait for the front row for this reason. It was my favorite ride at the park during this time.

It's fairly common for them to replace sections of rails on both Bat, Vortex, & Express as annual winter maint. I think The Bat webcam back in 2013/14 showed this during its repainting.

Can't wait to check out these easter eggs. Anyone find any other neato ones?
