I have noticed that as well, and I believe it has been not working since the middle of winter. As far as a new sign, when Ron S. was the GM of the park, he said that he wanted to put in a new sign (kind of like PKI's). Now that he is no longer the GM, I'm not sure where those plans sit. I do know th...

Yes, today does mark the 30th anniversary of the Gurnee park. While Santa Clara did open earlier in the season (I think it was in April), today is still a very special day. Going to spend the day out there today. I'll take lots of pictures of everything that they do today, and everything else that I...

For this season FullTime Mgmt, went out and crossed the globe to various parts and hired many different exchange students. Many of them working throughout the park this season hail from South Africa. You will see a lot of them working in the water park as life guards. I agree. There is a really nic...

Yes, the tent is still there. Below are some pictures I took on Tuesday before the ride opened for the day. For some reason, it did not open till 10:30 AM, so I had some time to get some pictures of the empty line. http://CPE-65-29-35-94.wi.res.rr.com:2711/jcpics/brian/MGAParksPhotos/AmEagleQueue4.j...

Just wanted to add that when I rode it yesterday, the lights in the tunnel were indeed, off. While it was cool to be totally in the dark, I do miss the lights. Hopefully, they will brnig them back. I also noticed that the waterfall has not been going this year either. While I'm happy that they are p...

Great Pictures! What I like about the consturction of that ride (and Eagle too), was the massive size of the project. In looking at all the photos, you really see how much work was put into it. I also want to also comment on the other additions to your photo gallery. The pictures of the Pictorum are...
