We visited a couple weeks ago and I thought the land looks great - especially at night. The coaster was better than I thought and we were all impressed.
The characters made the area a lot of fun. The green army guys were out in force and added a lot of laughs and playfulness. For example, while walking out of midway mania my grandkid sneezed and I hear a “bless you” from an army guy who was posed in the foliage of the exit line. Hysterical.
The big “miss” is the lack of shade. It was seriously brutal. To offer shade to the area, I could envision an army toy figure - GI JOE guy - with a large parachute open over the walkway. Or Something similar... the area needs something. Or a big tinker toy with pieces that extend to offer shade.
