On its own, I'd agree, but I'm holding out hope that once the full scope of the updates are completed, it'll look really good.
Oh 100% agreed. I fully understand why phased projects happen, it just always looks funny to me when landscaping isn’t part of a first phase (or enough) to make it feel ‘lived in’.

Like the shade structures are awesome! But only over the planting boxes/benches. The wood posts are an awesome touch! But they are right in the middle of the path. The sign designs are awesome! But look like a county fair execution.

I hope some of these items are temporary (like the signs) but others seem like they can’t be fixed (posts for sun shades) that might make more sense when foliage grows in.

I think right now the trees beyond the parking lot are contrasting with the boardwalk vibe. They gotta think of sightlines in Phase 3 and find a way to block it off. If only there were some traditional coaster found on boardwalks with a dense support structure that could block the treeline and make it feel more like a boardwalk...

I’m excited to see how this all looks next year with project purples presumed entrance next door

A white boardwalk woodie would be perfect, it could be a dueling coaster even
 
59" to ride BoF alone. That's certainly significant for a family any coaster. Does anyone remember the height requirement when it was at SFA?
From the 2025 SFA rider safety guide:
Guests must be at least 54" tall to ride alone or 48" tall and
accompanied by a Supervising Companion at least 63" tall.
The 59" might not be a typo, from Kennywood's website for Exterminator:
Min: 46 inches

Max: None
Additional Info:
Riders between 46" - 59" must ride with a supervising companion.
I miss the days when Kennywood would only have guests shorter than 59" use the seat belts, it really speed up loading.

I feel like Flying scooters, Hypno-twister and Round up, could be open this weekend. I just saw Colliwoods Instagram story and all the back pads are in place on round up and those 3 rides have been testing all week. They did say the rides would likely open as they became ready.

Shark from Six Flags America's Hurricane Harbor now in the Shoreline Pier

It took me until just now to properly read this and realize this is SFA’s shark. Earlier I thought they just dragged him over from their own Hurricane Harbor, which I also would’ve been fine with lol
