No. But it looks to be a nice improvement for the area with a small budget and a very small foot print for an attraction. Also, it is not even finished yet. I'm sure it will look even better when finished.

Getting rid of all the tragically hip theming and going all-retro is probably the correct choice...but the ride itself is still rather ho-hum.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros If they're really going for the Victorian look, are they ever going to redo the shops? They scream 2001, especially with the giant fiberglass clown and the purple stucco walls. As for the ride, I think it will be more fun now, even if it does look more generic. My biggest problem with the orange was that it blocked the views from the ride. Yah, the view is similar to the Golden Zephyr, but there's just something about having your legs dangling out there that makes you want to be able to have a great view. I don't think I've been on a swing ride anywhere that has a view even close to the Pier (most are some trees or other rides a little further away than the orange was), so that will be pretty neat. Plus, it looks like a jewel, so it can't be bad, right?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Why do I feel like we are about to start referring to it as "the jewel" instead of the swings, SSS, Silly Symphony Swings, or anything else actually related to the ride? I can't wait!

Because having me at the other ones seemed to make them do so well...oh, wait...
