The food tents around the park have started to get themed facades. We spotted locations themed to Wicked Growth, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Beetlejuice and more. Can’t wait for the event this year!

It’s really quiet this afternoon. It’s also really hot.

Over at Islands of Adventure, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is using a standby queue. With low crowds, they do not need the Virtual Line system. Take advantage of this while you can!

We spotted a change to one of the snack stands in Seuss Landing. The sign for “Brown and Blacks ICEE Snacks” was recently removed and now the stand has been given a new sign. This “Snack Snack Have A Snack ICEE” sign still has the characters of Brown and Black along the top.

VelociCoaster had a delayed opening this morning and Team Members were out letting guests know the ride was down. Many guests chose to sit in the shade nearby and wait for the ride to open. Thankfully, it opened just before noon.

The tops are missing from Doctor Doom’s Fear Fall but the attraction is still open. They are most likely being refurbished and will return again soon.
