We stopped by the park today for a few hours. I was busier than I expected; it appears the increase in price isn't having a major affect on attendance.

We rode Thunder Road. I had hoped for better final results from five years of rework but all in all it's not too bad. It's certainly better than it was five years ago.

We went through Dinosaurs Alive. We enjoyed it and it was well done. I saw lots of families in there with elementary aged-children, which is obviously the target market for this attraction. I didn't mind paying the upcharge as it kept the crowd level down inside so that we could take our time although I'm not sure how inclined we will be to go through a second time this season.

We also saw Dinosaurs of Patagonia. I enjoyed this but I do like documentaries. It didn't seem to be targeted towards families as much as I expected.
