It's been a long time since my last visit to SFDK but I couldn't stay away after seeing so much progress on SS. And I was impressed, the ride looks like it's a month or two away from opening! I can't wait to see it. But we also went to check out the deconstruction sites we covered in our last update and take a peek at some other smaller updates, like ride openings. Let's get going!

Sidewinder Safari

Signage for the ride is a lot more prevalent

Including at the front of the park

I liked this one that had a QR code on it

The crane erecting the ride can be seen from many places throughout the park

And it towers over Tava's Jungleland

But here's a look at the progress itself

I wasn't a big fan of this signage the first time I saw it but it's grown on me a ton

Another look of the overall progress

The station looked like it was starting to go up the weekend I went

The cars are on the track

And they look great

I love the snake heads on the cars

The ride's colors looks great

The green and the yellow really seem to pop!

The fence surrounding the ride has signs warning you about safety...

As well as promoting the ride

Looks like the former Odin's Snack Shack stand will live on as Sidewinder Snacks

Zamperla, the ride manufacturer, has a container set up on site

Let's take a different look at the ride construction: the path from the tigers to the Sidewinder Safari plaza is blocked off

With a sign on it promoting the ride

The cougar exhibit has a construction sign on it as well which seems to be related to the SS construction

Let's take one last look at the ride from the back angle

Ride Deconstruction

Nothing too much to report on the ride deconstructions we covered last update but wanted to give some new pictures.

The area formerly occupied by Voodoo

The area formerly occupied by Tazmanian Devil

The area formerly occupied by Harley Quinn

Misc Updates

The park was celebrating Spring Break. That meant some decorations...

...and a DJ at the front stage

Seaside Sandwiches now serves turkey and mashed potatoes

This building near the foot of Toyota Stadium has become a Looney Tunes character photo area

It wasn't open when I walked by but it's good to see more character interaction!

Kinda random but this small grate on the back walk was closed off

Tigris Emporium was open for the first time I've seen it in a long time

Glad to see Monsoon Falls open for the first time since before the pandemic

Flash had a sign on it that said that the ride was scheduled to reopen soon

Glad to see that and I hope that it happens. Regardless, the ride plaza remains closed

I don't think I've ever seen a Luvdisc being offered in a Pokemon vending machine. Kind of a cool Ruby/Sapphire Pokemon to offer

The Six Below ice cream stand near Seaside Junction was closed and the signage removed

As was the one at the front of the park. I hope it comes back in some form, I liked the ice cream!

Animal & Ride Pictures

I went to see Drenched today. I don't remember it being so music heavy in the past not that I'm complaining

Boomerang slithers through its course

This croc was enjoying a nice sunny day out

I was hoping to ride Joker this visit but the ride was down in the morning and when it reopened it already had a longer line than I wanted to wait in

I got to see the seals being fed for the first time today and I enjoyed watching the animals beg like dogs for the snacks

I always enjoy taking pictures of Wonder Woman

This penguin looked like he hadn't quite matured enough yet for his permanent coat

I enjoyed my visit to the park this time around! I promise it'll be much shorter of a time frame before my next visit. Looking forward to seeing more construction as the ride gets closer to open, but I'll keep you up to date!
