One thing that I noticed was that the Sky Ride was closed.  Not just closed but the entrances and exits were nailed shut which is not a good sign.

Hopefully the Sky Ride is just down for the year and not down and out for good as it is a wonderful ride.  Taking the Sky Ride through the center of the Monster makes both rides better so it would be a shame to see it go. 

By the way Adventureland's Sky Ride came from the 1974 World's Fair that took place in Spokane Washington and came to Adventureland after the fair came to a close.

Another ride that was down and completely gone was the Splash Over.  Hopefully Adventureland puts something good here.  If you need a suggestion I'd go for a Huss Frisbee or a S&S Screaming Swing.

Adventurelad's classic Philadelphia Toboggan Company designed Tea Cups "Crazy Daisy" ride was up and running.  Bond always enjoys a spin on this old and unique ride.

Adventureland's A-Train is always a great way to get off your feet and take a trip along one side of the park.
