April 11th Update:

Its pretty much just details on building planting some shrubs, flowers, grass. Oh yeah, and the water is in the splash area, but its this disgusting radioactive green color. As you can see here http://www.bgescape.com/Gallery/thumbnails.php?album=36. Hopefully Busch will sort this out before the ride opens...no one wants to get wet with radioactive water.

Edit: April 14th Update: Train Logo!

I went to the park during my spring break, and Griffon looks absolutely amazing... its not open yet, but theyre testing. Itll deffinetly be worth it when it opens though, its just monstrous

^I'll do it later...

Gee, I'm such a procrastinator.


I'm not as lucky as some though. I only went for the last 45 minutes, getting 2 rides in. Some people got 20 throughout the whole day.
