It doesn't help if the water is stinky then it just drys the smell on you

They should add some kind of theming to the dryer, cause from the pics it looks like it'll stick out like a sore thumb in a 1880's theme park.

It will have a facade on it, the photos that you've seen are of it before it was actually installed

ZZtop the stank is on you when you are wet too! So why not be dry! I will not use them because if it is like the ones at Sux Flags Great America you have to pay and I refuse to pay for that.

I agree, when did this happen?

zztop · « **Reply #97 on:** Mar 4, 2010, 08:27 »

it was there at haunt when i was waiting in line for asylum

Jason · « **Reply #98 on:** Mar 4, 2010, 08:45 »

It was there at Coaster Con as well. I believe that it had just been installed because it didn't work yet.

Where is there?

It's on the exit path from Monsoon.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #101 on:** Mar 5, 2010, 11:23 »

Wow shows how much I go near Monsoon. I didn't realize they had one!

Swoosh · « **Reply #102 on:** Mar 5, 2010, 03:44 »

Shows how well it is marked too... I went by that thing several times last season and never saw it.

zztop · « **Reply #103 on:** Mar 5, 2010, 06:57 »

the only reason i went by it is to come from oceans of fun to worlds of fun

What's a better way to mark a man sized dryer?

Swoosh · « **Reply #105 on:** Mar 8, 2010, 03:17 »

A huge ass sign in the middle of the walk way with an arrow would probably suffice.

zztop · « **Reply #106 on:** Mar 8, 2010, 04:20 »

some people still would not notice it with a huge ass sign

Robby · « **Reply #107 on:** Mar 8, 2010, 05:31 »

I don't think a huge sign is needed. It was pretty obvious.

Indeed - we need a HUGE ASS SIGN. A huge sign is not enough.

I found some pics of River Blast running on Thursday also some other pics of the park and FITH ( River Blast photo's start on page 15), photos provided by tinmann620.

I was there Thursday and Friday. So many people... I waited over an hour for Powder Keg and Thunderation. And it was still pretty cool out, so the water rides weren't packed. But River Blast seemed to have a respectable crowd both days. The area looks great. I will try to write up a photo TR tomorrow.

Swoosh · « **Reply #111 on:** Mar 20, 2010, 07:17 »

Working on my PTR from my Friday visit. (EDIT: Now complete -- see my PTR thread)
There was 14.5K people there Friday and it got up to 70*F (not cool by any means).

PK line was way too long for me, so didn't ride it, but got a couple of rides on WF! and a few on the other rides. River Blast is a lot of fun.

steel · « **Reply #112 on:** Mar 20, 2010, 08:54 »

Fridays was better for water, yeah, but it was still in the low 60s most of Thursday.
I was about to say that it's weird I didn't see you, but then I remembered that there were something like 13,000 people in the park, hahaha.

Ben Dover · « **Reply #113 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 07:28 »

Wow 14.5k people? Thats insane! Hopefully it's not that crowded when I go on Easter weekend.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #114 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 08:41 »

At least they don't have an event that can only be seen at night so the exit gets jammed because everyone of the 14.5K are trying to leave at the same time. I for one would like to see another exit or bigger exit added next instead of a new ride.

Swoosh · « **Reply #115 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 10:02 »

Both Thursday and Friday, the closing time was extended by one hour to help alleviate the pressure of the people trying to leave. Honestly I found it worse trying to get into the park then leaving on Friday.

sawblade5 · « **Reply #116 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 11:02 »

They have been doing that each year but keep on scheduling themselves to close at 6PM. I wonder when they'll just start scheduling Spring Family Days Closing time to 7PM?

SuperSteve · « **Reply #117 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 01:19 »

I've been expecting them to do some major work on the entrance/exit sometime soon. With all the other infrastructure projects that have occured, you'd think they'd have done something by now. SDC must be the largest park in existence to only have what, 10 turnstiles to get in? And then everyone has to funnel through a tight hallway to get out? Seems like they'd have done something in this area before the new parking lot, but I guess it will be very expensive...

Swoosh · « **Reply #118 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 02:04 »

^Dollywood is the same way.

steel · « **Reply #119 on:** Mar 21, 2010, 03:23 »

If nothing else, it gets you to slow down and look around, which is especially good (for SDC, not you) if you're surrounded by merchandise in the store trying to leave the park.
But I agree... The current layout needs work.
