C'mon now that's an exaggeration. It's right on the path from the oldest slides to the bowl tower.

The bathroom is no more out of the water park as the Camp Snoopy bathroom is outside of Camp Snoopy. I forget there is a bathroom next to Vortex sometimes or the one in Crossroads hidden in the corner. Those make this one seem worth keeping, it’s just maybe 20 feet off the pathway from Barracuda to the toilet bowl slide.

I do hope they add trees or something to better divide CS and the water park.

You see they left the palm trees. I would think they could put something there since it is a pretty nice piece of land left. The construction of Copperhead wont go all the way to the construction fence.

20 feet? More like 110 feet! I measured it, probably far enough that it may deter people from using it.

They’re probably just keeping it for now to have it come in handy for crowded days at the waterpark next year (weekends, holidays etc) and then whenever the waterpark gets an expansion they’ll probably add a splash pad or a slide complex (I doubt it will be a complex, there is already 3 in that area and it would unbalance the areas of the waterpark and overpopulate that area) back there and revamp the restrooms. Honestly the dry park could use a restroom next year in blue ridge junction right where the icee and basketball stands are because you have to either go through the new path over to dodgems and go to the crossroads bathroom, or go up the hill to the crossroads gazebo and go to the Afterburn restrooms. Either way they are both a decent walk away. The one question I have about the two crossroads restrooms is why they don’t have a path connecting from the dead end of the restrooms near dodgems to Afterburn? I know that there is a building there to house the performers for the gazebo live entertainment but either than that I don’t see why they can’t. Maybe I’m missing something. Anyways those are my thoughts.

^I would say elevation has a lot to do with it. That's why on the other side of Southern Star you have a weaving pathway up to Afterburn. Also, that area is in Afterburn's restricted area. It would pose a safety risk.

There's restrooms in the new County Fair . . .

Yes it will be great! I can't wait to see it without the fence up. I really hope they take the signs and use them around the queue etc.

Here is a picture of the new Mountain Gliders sign as well.

The out-of-the-way bathroom I was speaking of is the one at the back of Copperhead Strike between it and the water park. It's tremendously out-of-the-way. I think the one under Afterburn is fine.

I should have just quoted the part from whom I meant this for:
