RE: Minor Changes (2013)

The fence that divided the "beer garden" from the other side of Oktoberfest towards Darkastle has been removed. (a good thing)

However, the oompah band stage in that area has been removed as well and it's basically just a smoking area now. (a bad thing)

Odds are they took the stage down because the band plays in This Is Oktoberfest now.

True. But still, it'd have been nice if they kept it there to give guests a traditional Oktoberfest style show during the day if they are in fact removing the maypole for other events.

One of the performers and a lady at the shop said we can expect to see the stage and band back during IllumiNights. Hope that is true.

The wagon didn't sit on a concrete pad, it was gravel, and the gravel was still there for the Holiday Hills sign. I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like the gravel was removed, but that is something that can be added back pretty easily.

I do know that the wagon was in pretty bad shape so it's possible that it was damaged when removing it for Holiday Hills or they just took the opportunity to do some repairs and haven't finished/started them yet.

The wagon is still in the Howl-O-Scream clown tent area behind Roman Rapids. You can see from the top of Apollo's Chariot, before the Summer leaves fill in.
 
RE: Minor Changes (2013)

I think you are mistaken. There are two wagons. The one used in Fear Fair was the wagon used in Killarney for a leprechaun when that area first opened up as Ireland, and has been back in that area since Cursed as far as I know.

The wagon we have referenced that was removed for Christmas Town has more or less been moved to a warehouse or to the boneyard or somewhere much more secretive. This wagon was used way way back across from the First Aid station many many years ago.

Also, the one in Fear Fair is much more rounded than the one we referenced, as the one we referenced is more ornate and extensively detailed where the one in Fear Fair is not as detailed in design.

Don't know if this is already here, but they added a fountain on the "pond" to the right of the bridge going into Ireland. It looks nice.

The fountain has always been there, it just suffered the same fate as some of the ride's special effects and died, but they did some work to bring it back. You could tell because in previous years there was just this circle thing sitting in the middle for no apparent reason :p

The Barn Owl exhibit has gotten a fresh coat of green paint, along with a slightly different set-up inside.

Also, I mentioned this earlier in another thread but this thread is probably a better place to put it as it is such a minor change for this year. Here it is:

Noticed this evening that they finally took these raggedy things down:

^ On a similar note, the black wall that was built for Root of All Evil, that was towards the exit of the maze blocking view of employee lockers etc. was finally takens down just the other week. Entertainment took their time taking down a few things :p

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

What do the printed passes look like this year. Do they look similar to the 2011 version, that had a picture of an area in the park? Or do they have just the new logo with the green or white background? Or is it totally different? By the way have they changed the little lanyard thingies to have the new logo on it or do they still have the old logo on it?
