I believe they just mean music by sound effects. They said Blizzard Indoors will have sound effects too just like the old days, implying music so thats my guess!

Anywho, you guys can head over the TGE's facebook page for all the new ride updates: https://www.facebook.com/sixflagsgreatescape?fref=ts

So... Other side of the dome where Bumper Cars were... That becomes green space? A season ticket advertisement? I assume they wont wrap the queue around the dome to the back - as that blocks the fire exit.

Or do they just move Music Express over a tad?
A smoking section? (Do they even have those anymore? haha)
Maybe its the return of Noah's Ark Swinging Ship!!!

I like these changes! Best 'adjustments' they've made in awhile... Still not a fan of "eagle terrace" It looks awful... not much of a tribute to the Trabant.

I can Imagine someone new to the park, walking thru saying "well now that looks a little strange? Is it safe to walk on that? It looks like a ride might have been here or something." They should just remove it, pave that area if it isn't. And put the benches there.

Not sure, but I think it will be another one of the games that is across from Eagle Terrace and across from Cinderella's Castle.

It will be one of these. Makes me wonder if they might remove the other basketball games, or at least replace them with something different since they are removing the arcade in Ghost Town. Maybe some of those games can be relocated to these spots.

I am not thrilled with the relocation of Balloon race. loved the water side location. but I can get the desire to not have an open spot that big.

Dose the park even have an arcade any more. They had an arcade in the old 180 dome and that was removed for the Skipper ride. They removed the arcade form ghost town for the bumper cars. I think there was an arcade in the village at one point.

Are you talking about that little building with like 4 games? or did they convert that large building to an arcade.

The large building has always been an arcade.

Call it a mystery solved, the pad between Cinderella's castle and the Ghost Town cave is going to be for the return of the pink whale! The park just posted a thing on Facebook about how the "Save The Pink Whale" group won't leave them alone, but it looks as though this is a campaign being done by the park. Looking at the pictures in the video on Facebook, the pad definitely matches the pool around the whale, and it even has the red "tongue" pavement and the bolts to attach the tail. It's nice to see things like this return!

I was thinking that when i saw the video but i didnt get around to posting it. I thought it would be next year it would return. This will make a lot of people happy. Another sign that it is a park campign is because there is no way anyone would be able to get those videos of the bone yard

As im so excited! I have so many pictures when I was little of the pink whale. Time to take more with it! Im very happy the park has been bringing back the old Storytown artifacts over the years...Just another reason why our park is so unique and one of the best in the chain!
