Santa's Village Discussion Thread

I thought they just painted the original and stuff to keep it, it's weird how they're basically saying the original snowman was the one that left then.

It was just a fun sign to let people know. He left rolled around in a snow a bit got, perhaps had one to many Snow cone, and some extra girth and returned to pose for many more photo ops.

I wonder if there's any pictures of the original one... I swear I thought that was the original haha

Ya there are some out there. I think they have a photo hanging in the dining area at Burgermisers

That snowman still screams the one that was removed with just a different color scheme.

Also, that santa on the side where extra parking is, that was the original entrance.


Wow I miss when the entrance was in this good of shape.

Nice find. It's always fund to look at old park photos.

Cool pics, the new snowman has to be just as tall, if not taller than the ones in the old pictures.

Ya it's a solid upgrade.

Wow. It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful this park is.

They followed their original plans with the entrance building and gut it and do it over. The last of the carol people were removed from the entrance and it became a modern style entrance. The gift shop is BEAUTIFUL and much more open. Nice upgrade, but big piece of nostalgia gone, but it shows how much santas updates compared to Story Land tbh.

Pics of the entrance soon.

We will be there for the first time in many years at the ACE event next weekend. Looking forward to this park and Storyland.

Tina and I are going as well - and this event falls on our 17th anniversary! See ya there!

Santa's Village is a great park. I'm glad to hear there will be a few of you visiting for the first time. The family puts a lot of love into running the park and it shows.

It isn't our first time but it is the first time since 2008!

The park has done a lot in 9 years. I think you will be impressed with what they have done in that time frame.

While it's a nice, new, modern design, the entrance feels more corporate. The mascots are the focal point. I just miss the nostalgia entrance, I honestly liked the original a tad better.
