Nighthawk is way worse than Mean Streak.

I disagree, Nighthawk is a good ride when the train is flying but the laying down parts are a complete opposite. The worst part is the low capacity.

Does anyone have some historical numbers for Season Pass Holder Preview Night attendance? Is it worth it to attend, or is it just slammed and not worth the lines?

Taking a closer look at it and comparing it to last year's map, I noticed a couple of changes nobody's pointed out yet. One, Panda Express appears to be gone. Secondly, it looks like a new restaurant is opening across from Southern Star in place of the $1 game booth. Thirdly (and likely most importantly), Dockside Fries is no longer on the map. The removal of that restaurant appears to open up a pretty big space and connects part of the old Great Barrier Reef area to Cyclone. I'm thinking either one of the flats will go in that specific spot, or perhaps we could be gearing up to lose Cyclone in the near future to a larger coaster, especially considering that Great Barrier Reef's footprint hasn't been completely replaced by the new expansion.

I wouldn't relay on the Park Map in most of your cases....
I says Pit Stop(Planet Snoopy/Former Zoom Zone section) is now next to C&P where Dockside Fries was last year. Fry Shack I think is supposed to be or was Chicken Shack, the building has been there for years(maybe original to Fair area). However I do see that Panda Express across from Harmony Hall is gone but the map says Panda Express is where the building isn't.

But it's not just that Dockside Fries is gone - the building itself has completely disappeared from the map (and it was a pretty sizable building). On top of that, that area of the park was already quite dead, so if the map can be trusted, I definitely think an expansion of some sort will be happening there sometime soon.

Well according to the map Panda Express have supposedly moved to county fair. I just want to know what is that random path behind the yoyo? Dockside fries look like it's still in the same place to me.
