Demon's trains have an updated version of the old logo. They're no longer a decal, instead they're airbrushed on. Yellow train's (shown) have green lettering and eyes, black has red. Red train still is in rehab. They also feature an awesome looking demonic mouth with fangs.

On a side note, Revolution was running great last night.

Whirligig looks great after being rehabbed. New seats look good too.

Southwest Ampitheatre was VERY crowded last night. I don't think the theatre has been that active since the days of the Batman Stunt Show and the Warner Brothers Western Stunt Show. The SpyGirl set seems to be coming along great.

They treated everyone to a preview of the new Spirit of America show...

Columbia looked great this year. The reflection pond had some work done on it over the offseason.

THE END

Other Notes:
-The park looked great, alot of advertising this year but the misters built into the advertisement signs was a great idea.

-Bottled soda looks like it's gonna go up to $3.50, a little too pricey.

-TrailBlazer is basically nothing now but a big empty space with a background behind where it was.

-Some gallows from Fright Fest are in Southwest Territory in front of the Chubasco area.

-Southwest Amphitheater is also being repainted. IDK if it's done or not but the rocks are green now, looks ugly.

-Eagle Snacks is now by Revolution.

-Eagle's entrance is still being worked on but it looks pretty good. I liked the other one better.

-Dare Devil Dive's entrance is now to the right of the Eagle entrance, but they're in the same building.

No one informed me of this..........

How do you do this stuff, do you have to be an ACE or something?

It was only for employee's family and friends. You needed a ticket to get in.
