He's definitely on the spectrum. Biggest clue was him stopping and covering his ears. My best friend's son is austistic and he has done this exact same thing at Disney and Universal when the crowds and noise got too overwehlming for him.
Dude who climbed up there with no hesitation is a fucking saint and should be given a lifetime season pass bare minimum. Nothing but respect and appreciation for him.
Monorail has been down for weeks and this is what the entrance looked like on Thursday. Clearly the park wasn't monitoring this space enough, I expect Security to be out front and watching this space closer. Maybe they will add a fence or more barriers in the future?
The official statement mentions “While our team was actively searching, the child entered a secured area for the Monorail, which was not in operation. The ride was closed and safeguarded by a chained closure at the entrance and barricaded turnstile at the platform.”

As someone who works with monorails daily this made me cringe. It could happen any time any where, there's not much to stop a kid slipping away from parents. Thank goodness it was closed or the rescuers could have been electrocuted by the buss bar.
I was there last Tuesday and walked right up to the entrance twice not seeing the chain till I almost walked into. It was not clearly and easily visibly marked as closed abd definitely was not what I would consider barricaded. I strongly belive that 95% of the blame for this incident lies at the park's feet.
Looks like the park is getting a new sign. I couldn't get a good shot of this while I was driving but there are two panels on the ground next to it wrapped up. Maybe this will be done by the weekend?
Shaqalicious sticking around through the holidays, and "Construction Zone" making Treeville smaller this year (which honestly, is fine):
I am highly amused by the fact that they specifically note Wild Mouse and Lightning Racer on the map, but not Wildcat's Revenge, which is also running during the holiday season.
Went on Sunday for a stroll around the park. They added a new photo op this year:

I haven't seen this yet but they do have a new show inside Music Box Theater for the first time in a few years:

Great to see a full production show back in Music Box. Hopefully it does well enough to encourage the park to do more live entertainment during the other parts of the year.
I couldn't agree more. I was blown away (in a bad way) by the fact that there were zero adult shows during the Dark Nights Halloween season (no, their "slider demonstration" on a main path walkway does not count as a show).
