Some major changes at the Firehouse in the Fire District.
The entrance to all of the attractions is now the same.
Here you can see the former entrance to the ball arena is now boarded up and the walkway that you used to use to get in there is now for stroller parking
So once you enter the only entrance now you can go left to the climbing structure or right to the ball arena
Honestly this was really a no-brainer change and kudos to the park for understanding the needs of parents with younger park guests.
There is now a silhouette stand in the Grand Expo area.
The steps in front of the Antique Photo shop at the bottom of Hill Street have been completely replaced and look great
Flander's Dry Goods across from the Boatworks Theater has been replaced with a new shop that specializes in custom crafts
Here's to hoping it is more successful
A huge update to ALL of the rollercoasters this year is that they have removed almost all of the trees that were close to the track
It really looks weird how open each of the coasters are this year, but we understand this came down from corporate to help deal with liability concerns
Finally the Ozark Market Place has been completely revamped for this season
Registers have been moved to near the park exit (which makes a lot more sense) and that allowed for the entire floor plan to be revamped to be more open.
