Thursday - July 11th, 2013 For the first time in a long time I spent an entire day at the park from gate opening until the last fireworks shell went off at night. While I wish we had picked a cooler day, even the heat, humidity, and early morning rain didn't dampen our good time. Here are a bunch of photos of our day at the park. |

| July 11th - 7 Eleven day at the park. | Tickets are distributed to prevent line cutters at the Safari Off Road Adventure. | Heads Up: The Season Pass early entry to SORA has ended. It opens at 11AM to all. |

| Wheelchairs are available for guests to take along and use at Camp Aventura. | ||

| The spot-a-pots have been removed next to the old warden gates. | A male ostrich advertises to a nearby female. She just walked way. | |
