I would go do IB, myself and do SFSTL later! Although the park is at a high right now, STOP is not haveing a good start off, there seems to be still some problems either in the mechanical or the electronics that causes the ride to shut down! Hopefully this will be taken care of soon, the ride opens and then is shut down throughout the day because of the delays. BBNP is not all that much unless you have small children to participate the experience with them. Looks nice, but a family ride package is a little bit far fetched. Most are mini versions and require an adult to ride or a certain size, which is fine but only leaves the Tower as the new attraction for Pre teens, teens, the parents, and other Adults with out Kids.
Park is now open for weekly operations, So the money race is on! Unfortunately most schools are finishing up this week locally around the park. So most High School Kids have this week and some next week are getting out! Staffing seems to be always the issue, I know the new RULE with Shapiro and Staff seems to be a goal that may be a little to hard to reach. Staffing of employees at Restrooms in my eyes will be the big let down this year, Yes they have a few at most, but not all, the wrong aproach is being taken. Most attendants stand out side waiting to be told either by a geusts walking out that action needs to be taken. Yes I agree that park facilities need to be, clean but this is an amusement park, and wheres the amusement if the rides are not open, but bathrooms have an attendant, take a ride on the potty train.
I myself would still wait later in the season, because if you have been here, The park has changed yes, but mostly in appearence and a few new rides for the kids. I would not miss a chance to do a park I haven't done!
I love my home park, may not sound like it at times. The park is beautiful in alot of areas and needs love in others. This will be a major turning point for the park this year. Please come visit, you won't be dissapointed when staffing issues are taken care of by Mid June, will this help the loading and off loading of major rides. Unlike years past, there are a few more sreps in the safety process of all coasters, Seat Belts on the Eagle kill loading times and are now required on These older attractions at most parks, and the fact since new modifications she hasn't been that reliable either. She has shut down a bit herself.
Like I said, these changes were done to late and into the operating season and should of been worked out during our "mild" winter, when the place was closed!
