Industry-leading immersive theming doesn’t come cheap I guess.

i will say operations did seem to approve a but for FOTWW this afternoon (4:15pm onwards) with dispatches being around 3mins apart… if that was the average all day it’s gone from about 160 pph to around 400 pph.

i wish the turn out of the station and start of the lift hill were enclosed with screens to block the view of the studio, maybe you could have flying monkeys taking off with you… its sad cause some parts of the area are so well done or you can see the potential but it just wasn’t unlocked.

Row 10 FOTWW is a great ride though.

It was down between about 12:30 and 1pm when we tried to ride it. Not sure when it went down, or when it re-opened as we left the area

It’s funny how when it’s bearing the end of the ride ops shift they suddenly find this extra pace to get everyone through the queue so they don’t have to stay back (obviously this might not be the reason, but a funny thought)

Finally made my way today, and while it was nice to see village put some effort into an IP other than DC i feel it overall falls short of expectations. 
 

Theming is subpar, there are a few elements that are ‘good’ but I don’t really see a 100million investment here. They did a far superior job with leviathan. It really is just more a glorified ride que than an actual precinct. A shop, maybe a restaurant and more walk through elements would have dramatically lifted it. 
 

I do like the choice of rides, they fill a much needed void in the lineup for something between roadrunner and scooby. I think both rides are great for the demographic. I love the wicked witch coaster but the theming was underwhelming, the que area needs shade and the operations were horrendus. I was averaging 5 minute dispaches today. 
 

Overall its good, the park needed it. But it could have been done so much better
