This shows how much space the enchanted theater wastes that could be used for something else.

Also someone else on the right as you enter- likely No Legs Larry

Is there a clearer version of this?

AI doesn’t do a good job of detailing things that a high quality camera can. You can see the individual strands of hair, the fuzz in the coat, etc. Also piano keys are consistent so I would argue the image is authentic.

The Bat got some work done to it, as did Adventure Express, and now even Invertigo looks like it’s getting some TLC. That leaves FoF which is the other large 90s coaster. Has this coaster been through any renovations lately? I know it’s difficult to visually tell because it’s enclosed.

I thought I heard somewhere that the original intent was to have it change for the holidays which would’ve made sense considering they kept the ride open for WF. To be honest, after 8 years of it existing, it’s shocking that they never had any holiday scenes rendered, or even new scenes in general.

I’d be fine with this^

Will we see holiday overlays?

With more and more people experiencing the magic bands at Disney’s properties, it would be something so familiar if it was implemented at their local Six Flags parks. IMO, the chain should invest in these for all parks but start with resorts-They would make perfect sense at CP with the resort set up they have that could be used for hotels, fast lanes, park entry, fun pics, etc. To your earlier point, they could also work at activation points for Haunt and Winterfest.

Has the park “maxed out” on their report potential? Is there a next “big leap” that they need to take? IMO, I think they need to “eat” at some of the onsite parking- primarily in the CP Shores Water park. Nearly 10 acres of land that could be purposed for another report, a waterpark expansion or even a dry park expansion. Not saying rip the whole thing out, but seeing all that space has me thinking.

IMO, there should be a sub section behind the Eiffel Tower like how you showed.

A question about how it operates – is there a version in which all the arms are raised and lowered at once for ease of loading/unloading?

I figured if it was the actual ride model, it would’ve appeared on this site by now, but it does look like the outer façade, especially with the entrance being on the corner

Is this a mockup of the layout behind her?

Hershey Park

I think if you included them on fastlane tickets, it would increase the value of the fastlane concept and be a decent upsell. Not every haunt would be converted, of course, but maybe one or two as a pilot.

I was always in the camp of converting neighboring Haunts to tie into the story. For example, retheme Slaughterhouse to The Beast.

There is some stuff that I think they could overlay between Haunt and Winterfest- for example how the Rivertown scare zone gets repurposed for Winterfest. You could keep the drive-in that you see for Winterfest- just put it up earlier and just play classic Halloween movies instead, so it’s less effort to switch over come Winterfest time.

I wouldn’t mind even the idea of escape rooms or other upsell type attractions in the haunted houses. Imagine if you buy a fastlane and the escape rooms would be included.

There are some cracked pavers too

And I’m 100% fine with that. I mentioned a while back, and you correctly named it, “in filling“ where the park focuses on little additions at a time. I’d prefer smaller approaches for less $$$.

I really hope the day go back to something similar to what the ride used to be, but I understand that the current entryway is more “grander“

I’m not trying to sound cynical, but I’ve seen front yard Christmas displays that look better than what guests watch on the train. I’m not saying there isn’t any physical effort being put in putting up the lights around the route but it’s been the same thing since 2017. Paramount went through the effort of pouring concrete footers and putting up huge billboards and having a show scene.

Swap the cars between engines and slap a wreath on the smokebox door: voila

Maybe they could render it orange and blue so we could see what a Vortex homage would look like.
