Fully agree. The park never looks better than it does for F&G, so keeping things fresh and updated every few years is very appreciated.

Happy to see a number of updates for F&G this year. Don’t want these to stagnate!

Yeah compared to the old ones they definitely more topiary-y personally I think they should look more cartoony but semantics

Is it just me or are their faces more plant-y than they were last decade? Seems more topiary-y. Some of the newer topiaries look more plastic-y to me. These look better.

Finally they put some shade over the top so we dont have to relocate children from there to the Flavors of Fire booth as the next entree offering.
