Not last night. I heard kids climbing on him damaged the arm and that it had been sitting oddly. my guess is they couldn't fix the actual mechanism for it but we're able to fix it enough for it to look decent.
Walked by him an hour ago and he was sawing away.
Different subject so I'm posting this separately. We upgraded our passes a few months back. Checked with GS to pay to have the card stock passes converted to plastic passes and were told the machine was broken. Checked again today and now they are saying they hope to have it fixed by "next year"!
I mean next year is only 24 days away so given supply chain issues and a busy holiday season that doesn't exactly seem unreasonable
The rails going up the ramp into Oktoberfest, definitely have been replaced, I saw squared off railings (as opposed to round) that were still silver, now painted over black, about 2 weeks ago.
They had scaffolding up along parts of the bridge that are over land back toward the end of October and looked to be doing major work.
Expect it to be closed throughout January and February as the park is planning extensive work to be done on it during that time.
They still are cleaned every morning. But during this time of year it's pretty difficult to keep leaves off the paths. Sunday I raked my lawn in the morning and then by dinner it didn't look like I had done it.
The entire bridge won't be replaced, but there will be significant work done to the supports.
And hopefully the path on the bridge will be redone… you can see the joints of the bridge in spots.
/\ The video wont load but the candy-cane sawing elf is moving again.
Friday I was really disappointed with the park in that a lot of the Xmas trees for CT were turning brown (see pic) or were most of they way there. They really looked unsightly in the day. I guess BGW wanted to keep their water bill down by not watering them and hoping mother nature would do it. The other pic shows that they put some reflective tape on the poles (don't remember it being on them) they put in on either end of the bridge from Pompeii to San Marco. I guess a few people must have run into them.

the tree issue could just be something having to do with the fact that fewer were available this year so they might simply have been lower quality compared to what they could get thier hands on previously.
Is it enough of an aesthetic issue to use artificial trees in most areas to avoid such issues?
