Didn't see a thread for the Little Balloons, so I thought I'd add it. The ride is currently behind fencing, and you can see from the Little Gliders line that all of the gondolas have been removed.

Figured I’d add an update. Was at the park on Friday and this is what I saw:
On top of the ride seats not being there, the entire deck is gone. This was taken from where that booth is during food & wine (Sangria Garden, I believe).

Well this seems like a dangerous change. BGW clearly doesn’t care about the safety of our children anymore. But maybe this is to attract more thrill seekers to this attraction.
I mean, technically kids on the ride would be soaring over the ground far more than when the platform existed...
"Hey Lou, you remembered to grab our bottled waters before the platform got totally ripped up, right?"
"Uhh..."
"Uhh..."
The balloons were all laying carelessly behind the battering ram the other day when we were there. I have heard they take this ride apart and reassemble it every few years, and it hasnt been removed from their website or anything. So I doubt its going anywhere
Yep, just normal off-season maintenance. The ride platform is also having its deck replaced right now. A photo or two will be included in tomorrow's BGWFans article.
