I dig the boardwalk, but people familiar with Knott's Timber Mountain Log Ride might find the theming of Logger's Revenge a little skimpy by comparison.

Absolutely. Nothing tops Timber Mountain. I just meant that SCBB put a lot more into its logging theme than most other (non-Knott's) parks do. :)

No way. Lemon beats out EVERYTHING except chocolate. Chocolate and Lemon are a first-place tag team.

Hmmm I LOVE lemon ( like real lemon) with food but not when it comes to baked goods or desserts. Lemon icees and sorbet would be exceptions though.

Here's a great tradition from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk that DCA could adapt: Chocolate Dipped Bacon.

Much better than the Deep-Fried Twinkies, IMO.

All scaffolding has come down on the launch hill of the Incredicoaster. The temporary Midway Mania queue has changed and is now routed along new construction walls heading further west toward the boardwalk games before heading into the indoor area of the queue. Also the front of TSMM is walled off to complete the paintwork and new entrance area. Looks like things are ramping up now that the grand opening is less than 2 months away... IC station and entrance look far from complete as well as the cookie shop and turkey leg stand still seem to be only plywood.

Hoping the design of the turkey leg stand changes
That’s the one biggest thing I hate about this change followed by the loss of the vintage carnival decor inside knicks nacks. I really hate the bland store

One thing I don't we ever talked about is if the interior of the stores is getting updated. I know Bing Bongs is getting updated but what about the old Man Hat n Beach store? Is it still 2001 in there?

They dumbed down Treasures in Paradise store. It had a bland outside for sure. But the store's interior was THEMED to a pier with cool faux antique amusement park artifacts. Now the store's name and interior decor both match the outside - bland and non descript and not matching anything of a theme (well, it sells Pixar stuff so I guess that is the connection. I expect my low expectations will continue to be proven still too high as this project moves forward and continues to prove how tacky Disney can be. Too be fair the Lamplighter Lounge might surprise me and actually look nice.

So typical mall Disney Store. I fear for what DTD's World of Disney will look like.

How... could they possibly make June 23rd? My other criticism of this land, even with the new elements and new themed architecture for bing bongs, is that its largely a paint job. The incredicoaster station also will have a mural wall. The red tubes look way better frankly. However, paint fades. midway mania looks tremendously better but again, its fresh paint. It's like they played with the three color variables on roller coaster tycoon until they found the best one, and its a red white and blue scheme that we associate with main street but is actually mystseriously absent from main street because they use more sophisticated color schemes there instead. This land will look good but be as difficult to keep that way as toontown because there is so little actual architectural detail or variety of material that can age more gracefully and realistically than paint and murals.

We know the Carousel won't be done until next year, so I don't think Disney plans on having everything done by June 23rd (50 days to go).

Agreed, I have a feeling it'll be a staggered opening where somethings open early, like the Yeti Ice Cream, somethings will open June 23rd, and the rest opens at a later date.

I'd be shocked if those shops reopened in time, but I think that was their goal. I won't hold my breath for anything other than Lamplight Lounge and Incredicoaster though. That's really what they need to have reopened to claim the project is complete.
