Ok this subject may be kind of touchy with people but as a smoker this does affect me. About 3 years ago we had 4 smoking areas inside the park for Designated smoking, these 4 areas were out of the way Edge of Coak Soak, side of wild west arean/ infront of animal actors, Lowerlot Under starway to the right, and to the left of Tram tour entrance/left of Restrooms. When attending the park during jan 2013 I was told there was only 1 smoking area in the a park (Under Starway) and outside of the park closer to parking lot. This might make most of you happy but as someone who likes to have a cig in the middle of the day at the theme park i dont want to have to take a 15 min journey to have one.
