One thing I always notice is that both of the train tressels need a coat of paint on the railings. Both of them are nothing but rust and they have been for a few years now. I don't know if there's some reason they aren't painted but there has to be some sort of maintenance done on them during the off season and a safety inspection. I did a little research and couldn't find anything prohibiting the railings being painted.
They need to go ahead and admit what the hamlet really is, "6 Flags of Busch," it even has a 6 Flags coaster!
I believe the railings on the trestles are Cor-ten steel that has a natural rust like patina, in other words it is supposed to look like that.
Yeah, in my lifetime, I have never seen the trestle rails with paint, and I don't think they ever did have paint throughout the history of the park. I think the rust color gives them a lot of character, however.
This was fixed. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look a few posts back.
Can I express my absolute disdain for whatever pop bull crap they're playing in San Marco this year? Why in the world was that necessary? It's so awkward walking from classical, thematic music to pop, back to classical music again. It's kind of jarring honestly.
I don't even care if some of it reminds me of the old German music that my Oma listened to. Even she said that type of music was "junk".
Anyway, the only song that somewhat grasps at the true heart of the area is Trieste mia, by Teddy Reno. It only matches because of the romantic sound, which is universal in many big European countries (Romantic French, Italian, and German/Berliner Nacht Musik).
Edit: The German name for that type of music is Schlager. Here is a Wikipedia article about it.

Coaster painting aside, I was surprised to see that really no work was done in any of the queue areas. I don't think it would take much money to repaint the queue rails, etc. every year. Not to mention the Verbolten queue still looks horrible with missing wall art, shredded books, etc.
