I also noticed that they have NOT put the nationality flags back on the rear of tickets booths.
It's these little touches that I miss.

Also to note, they removed the European flag strip from the Scotland/Bavaria Parking Lot, and have yet to replace it or fit it up so now the tram stop there looks really crappy.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)
That's too bad. As if it didn't look bad enough already! As far as parking lots go, Busch Gardens really takes good care of their parking lots, but that particular one is in real need of rehab. By the way that red color you were talking was actually referred to as "Anheuser-Busch burgundy". I'm sure that has something to do with why they repainted it green. To be honest, I'm not complaining, especially since they haven't had any foliage on the thing itself in years. They used to have an eagle on the backside of it, but maybe they could make it something like a butterfly or their trademark roller coaster tree.

Because, it is the overflow lots, that are hardly ever used. They could careless about that plot of land.
This exactly. I mentioned the true name of the color earlier somewhere, but yes! They are trying to hide all of the AB evidence and move onward with the future.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)
This is just silly. I fully understand the need for strong park branding but pushing new branding is much more efficiently done through advertising and merchandise design than repainting ticket booths. They should be trying to reinforce the fact that even though there's a new logo in front of the park's gate, behind that gate is still the same park everyone knows and loves. Right now, that's the park's problem. There's a widespread perception amongst the general public that since the buyout the park has been in steep decline- I hear it from everyone I know. The fact that they feel they can't leave a color that looks fantastic on their park entrance because, god forbid, a guest may see a color associated with AB is, frankly, ridiculous- especially from a park that only carries merchandise with a park logo from the AB-era.

Can platinum pass holders really use the old entrance?
chickenking said:Hey man, you are certainly welcome. But I can't take all of the credit; I picked up that tip from another forum user here. It is amazing what you learn when a group of people share all of their "hidden" insider tips. You know, things the park doesn't exactly advertise but still make available for those that want something extra.CastleOSullivan said:chickenking said:...and TRUE royalty enters via the employee entrance.
I can't thank you enough for telling me about that in the parking thread! For years I've been a platinum pass member, and didn't know about this handy time-saver.

Yea, we tried it out for the first time last weekend. They let us right in though.

^I noticed those the other day. Felt like an idiot when I couldn't find where to put my finger.
