You forgot the 100% german bungee ball

Awesome, green-beer themed shrubbery. Maybe a hint the park will be open in time for St. Patrick's Day 2021? [emoji482][emoji3526][emoji40]

Ahhh how could I have forgotten that authentic themed experience. STILL wish the entrance to Banshee was routed to that spot, slingshot moved to “action drone”, and the entrance path to Banshee themed (as it is, but with even more) to a European ancient cemetery. Then retheme Adventure Express to remove the “tropical jungle” stuff that is in horrible shape anyway and give it a haunted German mike vibe so the two thrill rides had a unified theme. There’s even a great folklore in the  story of the Kobolds. These are little , nasty creatures (almost like gremlins) Kobolds who live in mines are hunched and ugly. The basic theming is there, just give it a freshening you. Add back in a few flats with flags and “festival” decor. Backstory that in this “quaint German village, the festival helps the villagers forget about the sinister spirits lurking in the woods just outside of town.” Maybe even have a village gate you have to pass through to get to the “woods” where Banshee and Kobold are located. Oh well, can dream! 

Going off what @brenthodge said, this is steps in the right direction. Glad that the park is beginning to pour some love into Oktoberfest.

The 11th commandment would like to know your location

It looks amazing.  The park is well landscaped this year.    Full flowers in the normal areas.   Plus the addition of this.   The calendar looks great.  The clock also looks great despite its inability to keep time lol.  
 

The liberty bell is missing today.   Has it been there this year?    The mini Eiffel Tower is there.

I have not noticed the Liberty Bell this year unfortunately. Maybe the park is waiting for the plants to grow in on it?

Sometimes it disappears during the season.  Probably hanging in the air requires special care At times.   It’s been very dry this year.  

I’ve not seen it at all this year. Maybe it’s got corona? 

With closer inspection, I don’t think the bell is coming back soon.  They planted A small tree under the arch. 
 

 

I sure hope that's temporary.  One of my favorite things at the park, and I seek it out every visit.

Hmmmm.....maybe they modified the frame of the Liberty Bell to transform it into the stein.
