Hey everyone, now is the time for Update! Shall we dance?

DAK

-Crowds Medium to Heavy. Mostly heavy, packed, and uncomfortable...

-It was Extra Magic Hours, explaining the above.

-Some new Everest shirts, nothing TOO fantastic. But the awesome red jacket is back, meaning fall is on it's way!

-Everest Effects rundown: Steam was working, Waterfall A working, Vulture Working. New mist, waterfall B, and Yeti all SBNO.

-Did I mention it was hot and crowded?

STUDIOS

-Crowds medium to light.

-Last Tour to Endor is on the billboard out front.

-The New Midway Mania additions are great! Unfortunately the projectors for the new game were wonky, but it was still pretty great and I'll see it again this weekend. I love the addition of Trixie and Buttercup!

-Getting sadder and sadder riding Star Tours and knowing it's going away.

-Muppets still looks great. All three balcony arrows were working, as were the fireworks and fog. Only thing missing is still the burning rubber.

-So this was my first ride on the new Tower event...and what can I say? It's Nightastic! Meaning it isn't that great. Things I like: Green lights in the shaft, lighting going off in the boiler room. Things I didn't like: The elimination of the signature "Tower of Terror" line, the whole fifth dimension curtain overlay, and the continual showing of your picture.

It's like HEY! WE TOOK A PICTURE! DIDJA SEE YOUR PICTURE!
:lol:

Things that were just alright: The Drop Profile. It was alright. Nice if they add it to the existing 4. It's nice temporary, but they need to just do the new photo effect in the giant eye that's in the 5th Dimension...not just cover it in curtains.

-Didn't see anything Nightastic! as the sun did not set before the park closed.

OK, that's it! Enjoy the pictures!

I know I can't wait to try the additions to Midway Mania. Hopefully I will still be able to get good scores despite them. :D

I was there last night at DAK, but we left around 1pm and came back around 7:15 for EMH.

It was way too hot, and Kali was at 70 minutes!! I didn't even get wet on it ):

EE was amazing, but yeti was the only thing not working. Yet the disco yeti got a giant scream from everyone anytime.

I thought DHS was excellent. TSMM looked like perfection Sunday night, and I didn't notice any wonky projection?

Sunday night at DHS Nightastic, F! was SLAMMED! It was astonishing! We couldn't make it due to rain either ):

Nightastic cover band entertained the crowds on the hat stage at night. We also saw Goofy leading a conga line. Seemed very wedding reception-esque, but still very fun.

Completely agree with the Green in the shafts, they look spooky from outside, as for the other effects, it seems kind of a waste to have the fifth dimension just covered over with the SSE curtains. The photo effect is cool (when it works) I have ridden 8 times in the last week and that has only worked twice for me. The other times the image just shows the empty vehicle.

TSMM updates were cool, a couple of the games were blury though the last couple of times I have rode yet other games are completely clear.

Yeah, it should be noted that I got LOUD APPLAUSE as our train made it's way into Unload on Everest.

And Midway Mania has 52 screen with 2 projectors each, so by sheer numbers projectors will fuzz the image up. They fix it quick though.
