All of the construction is finally coming together! Everything looks amazing. :D

(Also I would love to be able to make it to media day but I can't, so if someone would like to give me permission to post their pictures with credit, I would be thankful!) :shh:

They are really playing up the whole state line thing, more so than the park did in the 70s.

That's the new gift shop replacing Thrillseekers.

I like the two pillars sticking out from the entrance. Nice architectural choice ;-).

But seriously it looks amazing. Can't wait to see it I. Person VERY soon. The commercial just came on while I was typing this. Very nice!

Take a look at the front gate LED board. It lights up the whole square!

I am now starting to really like this new entrance. Will be great to visit in person. R.I.P. Plantation House, but time for a new era to begin.

I absolutely LOVE the new entrance building and plaza. It's gorgeous and I can not wait to walk through those "turnstiles". :D

They did an amazing job on the new entrance. Wide open, lots of beautiful magnolia trees planted along the paths and someone had asked if they were planning on having plants on the new trellis' at the entrance and I would have to say yes. Behind each post is planted a wonderful Carolina Jasmine so it should be quite a nice area once they all grow in and when that jasmine blooms it is going to smell wonderful!

You really don't get a sense of how big it is until you are walking around looking at it all.
