Yes his last day will be the 31st. The park hasn't officially announced for some reason but I'm told it's not a secret there.Wait Kevin left?
Re: planning around the schedule conflict...
As documented in numerous places on this site, many of us, myself included, believe the park to be very "DuckDuckGo-challenged," whether regarding attraction naming/themeing and avoiding tone deaf historical/cultural insensitivities, or, perhaps a 400th anniversary representative government celebration that isn't exactly an everyday occurrence that somehow snuck up on them. The event has been planned for some time, along with a series of 400th anniversaries since 2007 and which adorn our VA license plates... Even if planning is due to corporate/SEAS and could be dismissed as not in tune with local/Hampton Roads activities, this event has made national news for a while because of the "controversy" of potus attending...
Very true, my comment was focused on the anniversary event in state/region that's been living 400th anniversary celebrations for over a decade, in relation to the planning of a park that resides in that historic triangle as well. The potus reference is really just a footnote that you must be living under a rock, no matter where you are, during the last week if you weren't aware he was speaking...I will put a counter in there:
The Presidents travel schedule is not always available that far in advance for the park to plan to avoid that. Because there always is a chance that the WH wasn’t fore coming with the info or BGW wasn’t thinking he would attend.
I thought they said they would be sending a PM to the winners and then posting them in an announcement at some point this weekend.Official rules for the announcement contest say they will be tagging winners in comments, but I have yet to see that be the case. Did they opt for messaging winners? Just want to make sure I didn’t miss something. Thanks!

I don’t know, I heard this was gonna be some sort of shuttle thingy from Intamin, and it might have a stall. Someone said an Italian theme too. Can anyone confirm this or is that top secret? We can only pray it's
First come first seated thats what the email that i received said doors open at 10:30Rode Ol blue for the first time this year. Even though it may not be necessary, sharing the obligatory train update from yesterday the 27th. Went ahead and threw a extra couple pictures in there they're no different from the others you've seen. LOL
On a side note, the announcement Tuesday. Can any member come? I may have missed this conversation earlier in the thread. I may be able to go Tuesday morning and just confirming before I do so.
Thanks in advance.

Well you cant always be right lol. They'll feel like a dumbass come Tuesday lmfao. But even then we're bound to hear some stupid stuff from the GPThe GP never cease to amaze me. If you listen to the Train video I posted. You'll hear a couple guys behind me discussing the new roller coaster. And that the steel pipe was for the track. You'll hear one of the guys say, "they should really cover that up". LOL
Also rode with a single Rider on verbolten who wasn't particularly thrilled with Heights. Said he heard the new coaster was going to be a wooden coaster, and that he was okay with that because he likes Invadr. LOL
