It almost seems dangerous to use those building for Dark Harbor. They feel like they are falling apart.

Hopefully they just leave it alone and stop being ridiculous.

This will eliminate one of the unique areas used for Dark Harbor.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Hopefully they would get a good Mexican voice actor who could sound close to Wally Boag instead of just tossing the role over to a celebrity. It'd be really jarring having, say, George Lopez as Jose...

Look at that a walled off seating area on the parade route that serves food, hmm, wonder if they are going to leverage that….

I rode HM last Sunday for the second time since they added the new ghost bride and I upgraded her to a slight improvement over Constance. Not sure if they have adjusted her or my expectations are now set properly but I didn’t dislike it as much as the first time. You just couldn’t help being disappointed when she was first unveiled considering how much potential that scene had but she’s better than Constance even if only for not making us suffer through that audio and not having a pillow face. All they really had to do was give us an updated version of the 80s/ 90s bride. The hitchhiking ghost effect has improved. I’m not seeing the cut off like I did when videos first came out. Still a downgrade from the effect when they were physical figures but acceptable. “Acceptable” “Fine” and “not awful” - the new bar we strive for! Lol

Probably just Jose. That’s the first/only thing that came to mind. White people impersonating people of color is frowned upon pretty much across the board these days.

...I feel like I should have known that. But my point still stands.

Indy looks great right now. I went on it twice yesterday- it was louder then I remember (though it's been 6 months since I had been on it so that could just be me not remembering). All the figures worked, the boulder worked, projections were bright and crisp. Smoke machine was working for the lava pit. Fire effects were working. Eye on the Globe is great, though now it has subtitles which was weird but still way better then the Covid era preshow. Still missing a bunch of the randomized audio. Still no moving doors. The pole in the queue is still missing. Mansion also looks good. I far prefer the new bride/beating heart attic to Constance. Do I think it could be improved upon? Yes- but this is a step in the right direction for sure. The new digital hitchhiking ghost projection effect was well implemented and wouldn't bother me if they hadn't replaced a 60's era effect with it. I didn't get to walk through the extended queue- I went on it during Star Wars Nite so we just walked right up the front steps. So no opinion on that yet except for still not liking the astroturf out front.

My grandpa did all the crazy combos. I just bet “big” on the favorites. Meaning one bet on which horse would win. Lol I also used to go with the names I liked sometimes too.

So many options, yeesh. Definitely going to stick with low risk as this is just to have a bit of fun with each race while we're there. We will be there for the second half of the day so will see about 5-6 races including the derby at 7p. Gotta pick the horses with the best names ya know? So like, do people bet multiple exactas in hopes one hits? With so many options, im curious what the 'strategy' is across the board. Do people bet shows, places, exactas, and winners all at the same time or do they tend to do just one type of bet?

Haha although I have fond memories of going to the race track with my grandpa I’ve kind of written off gambling in general. Half of me just liked going for the ambiance and food. I remember Santa Anita having a killer club sandwich.

Yep, as I mentioned there is more to it, including prop bets and others that are even more risky. There is a whole world of horse racing that I'm sure none of us are involved with let alone want to be involve in. ;)
