It was a joke and I thought I phrased it to be so, since who seriously uses the phrase "common folk" these days?
Minor Park Changes: 2016
- Thread starter Irishman
- Start date
Magicians appear to no longer be in the Ireland store. My kids liked going in and watching them. Not sure if they will be back later in the year or not. Did not see any of the tricks being sold in the store either. My kids and I were disappointed when we stopped by on saturday.
I am slightly disappointed with that. However, I don't like it as much as when they were in-house, rather than out-sourced vendors. Out-sourced vendors have the option to not take pass discounts.
Hopefully they will be able to offer more good products that fit the Pot O' Gold branding. I like the other stuff, but it's no longer Wizard Works without magic supplies.

Slightly Off Topic since this didn't occur in 2016 but it is A Minor Change seeing as it is no longer there,
I still miss the room that used to be in the rear of either Wizard Works or one of the nearby shops that all had different names back then.
It had A translucent wall that A bell would sound as a warning then A bright light would flash and "burn" in your shadow to the Wall.
Really A nice touch of Magic that I thought was cool as a kid, sad my children never got to experience it.
I have wondered if there is any trace left of it or whether it was dismantled.
Are you referring to the Hastings shadow room? There is a post about its history here.
I like the new signs. They have a lot more stuff on them and point to the different villages instead of just a few rides.
That didn't occur to me with the frames, but now I really don't like them.
I don't know what's going on with Tempesto's sidewalk. There seems to be a battle between muting colors and making them too vibrant. I do know that the park is trying to get more accurate wait times. I guess they are testing out various methods. WCUSA is also going to be part of that process.
I'm glad that I am not the only one who doesn't care fore the signage. I think the old signs pointing in specific directions was one of the most helpful tools for average park guests. I like how it fits the overall "Busch Gardens" branding, but it's not as practical. If it stops there, I'm fine with it.
Edit: Very true. Most people can't even guess where an attraction would be because they don't know hamlets/countries by name.

The body counter has been at Tempesto since last year. Not sure if the park will add those to the other rides to replace the turnstiles eventually.
I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but I noticed new buoys on the Rhine river last weekend, or at least they may have cleaned and painted the old ones.
I was going to mention that too, but I wasn't sure if people would care about a buoy. Then again, this is BGWFans.
Well I must say, it kinda ruins the view a little bit. It's all I can look at.
