I wouldn't call it an off season. We get two new to the park flats: the Eagles and the Sea Storm. Sure they might not be one of the Huss giants like at the other parks; but, its something that the park needs. I know people will probably fuss and whine over it. But, its got me intrigued to say the least.

I'm curious to see the NICKed Sea Storm.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm more excited about the flyers than I have been about any ride at the park since Top Gun.
