Yea, I bought one though. They gave me the bottle with the lid, so I can just drink part of it, screw the lid back on and stick it in my pocket to drink on any ride I want!

They had miller lite at that location when we stopped to get beers back in the middle of July.

I like the way you think sir.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

The real question is why one would bother stocking another adequate beer. If you are going to sell non-AB beers, why not include good imports and microbrews? I might even buy a Delirium Tremens (as just a totally random example), if I saw it. If my choices are Bud Lite and Miller Lite, however, I am going to stick with my bottle of water.

In fact, there are excellent Irish, English, and German beers that would probably appeal to the theming purists and would taste much better than a lot of the current options.

Sorry, thinking out loud.

Oh they have a lot of craft brews and imports now. It's great, but it was just weird seeing a bud light competitor.

ATM's have new locations!

- Main Entrance by the Kiosks in Zone B
- Tour Center in England
- The Candle Carver in New France
- Roto Baron in Oktoberfest
- Pegasus Gifts in Festa Italia

Only two ATMs was added, only one stayed in the exact same place, and two were relocated to new areas but very close to their previous locations.

People are gonna need cash to tip all of these vampire & pirate bar tenders.

And it looks awful. ATMs should be recessed into the park's theming, not obnoxiously shoving themselves at park guests as they walk by.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

I update the OP to reflect new changes as well as to reorganize the list so it wasn't so plain and boring and give founders credit as well!

Changes are organized by category, then are arranged with the most recently posted change first. Credit goes to the one who posted it in this thread first which is shown in [ ], with the date it was posted in this thread.

Changes added to the list that I am posting here are:
~ Festa Arcade gets new tarp flap entrance thingy?
~ New air hockey game in Festa Arcade
~ New drinks offered in Ireland ever since Illuminights started
~ Bacon Wrapped Turkey Legs offered in Ireland
~ Pork Shanks added to the parks offerings
~ Pork Shanks come with bacon too

Please note, these may be older but they were just now posted here. Other more recent changes have been:
~ Trade Winds signage returns

Last update to the OP I promise for the night,

Each username has been linked to their account in case you wish to thank the person who found these obscure changes.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

Updated the OP with a new change. There is new signage at bag check. Nothing too new, but hopefully slightly helpful. I forgot the exact wording but it states something along the way of "Guests WIthout Bags, Express Line" and is constantly hanging versus the two posts with signs.

Hopefully they will add more better worded signage.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

The parking lots seem to have gotten some much-needed fresh paint; at least in the England lot.

Thanks to Cody for pointing this out to me...

Your wish kinda came true Zachary. This ATM in Banbury Cross was themed to match the area. I will try to see about the other ones in the park on my next visit.

Have these fountains gone missing? Or do they remove them every year? I wish they would quit removing items from this area *glares at the clock* for no good reason. Could lead to damage and the such.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

The fountains will make a return trip next year. Alpengeist's fountain is filled in for HOS and CT. The main one under the clock acts as the stand for the North Pole sign during CT. It was still the same naked lady fountain for HOS.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

I see what you mean. It would be horrible for any of that to get damaged. Does anyone know what kind of material they are actually made out of? Heaven forbid, if they should ever damage the naked lady statue, or the creatures, I would hope they have some kind of mold or a very good artist to remake it. That fountain and that building are some of the most iconic things in the park.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

I think it's made out of copper, or at least it's copper plated.

RE: Minor Changes (2013)

Considering that 2013 ends in a few weeks, this is severely overdue. However, I just realized that the shade canopy/tarp found over the Land of the Dragons stage was removed sometime prior to HOS. CK's picture from earlier this season shows when the canopy was present. Just another 2013 minor change, just in time for the new year!

EDIT: It doesn't look like the addition of the musical instrument play area in LotD is even on the Minor Changes list. But I doubt anybody really cares about it at this point! My OCD is just sort of kicking in.
