It makes me so happy with all of the little theming that has been added to the park.

Another addition since my last visit is the North Pole Expedition dark ride.  The North Pole Expedition is a jeep trip both inside and outside through the Candy Cane Garden.

Despite visiting in July you can see that Santa's Village was already started getting ready for the Halloween season.

Before Santa's Village closed going past that fence took you to the Coney Island section of what was then "The Three World's of Santa's Village".  Unfortunately the Coney Island section of the park was turned into a giant paintball course.  Maybe one of these days the paintball course will go away and Coney Island brought back to life.

Tri-Nado is a classic Huss designed Troika ride.

As you know I'm not that much of a spinning ride fan but these rides are just so good.  If I had my way every park would have one.
