The 2004/2005 Closed Season saw the first closed season for the
Flume Unplugged and Splash Kart Challenge at the park. This was also
the closed season when the Ug Bugs became the Bouncing Bugs and
Nemesis gained an SRQ

painting the concrete Oblivion Signs

The
sign at the entrance of the X Sector has vanished for a rehab.
The
Worm from Storybook Land is still absent (and has been for most
of the closed season), it should be back in fully working order
for 2005... hopefully its book will get cleaned too.
