Magazines are a dying breed and B&N is one of the few places around here that sells a decent selection (i.e. more than just gossip, guns, and car mags). Personally, I love perusing their film and horror magazines and they are the only place that carries my favorite, Cinefex.

The best was the short period it interacted with the Safari train.

May I ask what sources you use for your information and why you think the precautions we've taken haven't contributed to keeping the death toll below expectations?

I'd be okay with a broader spooky theme that allows for a variety of different styles. One ride could have the old gothic, "castle thunder" style that Universal Monsters and Hammer are known for while another could be themed to 80s horror. The Bat could lend itself to the giant monster craze from the 50s and maybe they could do some Atomic Age stuff with Drop Tower and Delirium. They could even theme a coaster to the Maestro himself if his Theater never opens back up.

The purpose of my posts isn't to discredit your concerns, but to point out that those 37,000+ were people. Like standbyme expressed in his post, it makes my heart sink every single time I see someone even remotely suggest that people's lives are expendable and their deaths an "acceptable" sacrifice to protect our economy. I'm not saying I don't want a normal life again nor am I saying I'm unconcerned about our economy. I'm one of those who was affected economically by this. I lost my job. Not furloughed, laid off permanently, and I worked hard for that job. Also, for what it's worth, I fall into another statistic you mentioned on the last page. I've gone through many tough battles in the last decade, and I'll have another one ahead of me in the months to come. Respectfully, I'm saying those people are most than just percentages, those lives mattered.

37,055 Americans and counting in.. Just.. One.. Month..

As of today, there are 37, 055 Americans who would probably disagree.

I couldn't have said it better myself!

i haven't been counting Planet Snoopy rides since the first post said not to, but I would have to add everything that wasn't there in the early to mid 90s. Unfortunately, my memory can't vouch for riding all the Hanna-Barbara from that era either.

The Enchanted Voyage has been covered by Yesterworld.

There seems to be a lot of disdain towards the lower class in this wording.

The Wal-Mart I speak of is in Ohio, by an outdoor shopping center called Bridgewater Falls.

The Wal-Mart near Bridgewater doesn't appear to have converted to "one way aisles" and there were very few signs of social distancing when I visited today. Clusters of families and teenagers were shopping, very few customers and employees were wearing masks, and large masses were clogging the beverage aisle and the grocery side U-Scan. No preventable measures seem to have been taken to protect their employees or their customers.

I've noticed an uptick in crazy drivers lately and last week, on my way into Wal-Mart, some lady who was parked on the curb, was sticking her head out and screaming at me. Why? I have no idea. My guess is because I was wearing a mask?

Ohio vs. Michigan games will have a different feel, that's for sure!

Michigan's protestors are carrying assault rifles. I'm sure they see themselves as "protecting our freedoms," or something like that, but frankly, their getup makes them look like the radical terrorists you fight against in Call of Duty. It's... not a good look.

Along with the Caretaker, I'd like to see the Maestro and his Phantom Theater troupe become prominent Haunt characters. I'd also love to see mazes themed to some of the rides utilizing both existing and newly created lore. Imagine being chased in the woods by a mysterious Beast, and picture something like the large hand from Wolf Pack, but instead it's The Beast's claws grabbing at you.

As head-scratching as it is, that outlook owes everything to the measures we've taken. Had we been more stubborn, had we put people's lives second and kept everything open, I think the conversation here would be completely different.

This right here. As of today, 22,108 Americans have lost their lives to COVID-19 in such a short amount of time and I'm grateful my loved ones aren't included in that, but it would be foolish of me to downplay those lives lost as anything less than an absolute tragedy. That is a lot of people, and every single one of those lives mattered. And had we not put these measures in place, it could've been worse, a lot worse, and would've hit home far more brutally than it has for the majority of us Ohioans. And I'm thankful it hasn't, because every single one of our lives matter too. People come first.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/health/us-coronavirus-updates-saturday/index.html The US has had more than 20,000 deaths from COVID-19. If that doesn't seem like a lot, imagine that was a crowded amusement park or stadium full of people... Lives matter. Bars don't.

Coincidentally, this is the latest flavor of cotton candy!

I believe it was simply an except from the track, like the first minute and a half. IIRC, just the portion used when Freddy is assembling his glove.

"Night of The Beast" was the track I was referring to. (Side note: Poltergeist is one of my favorite films, so naturally I loved hearing Jerry Goldsmith's score at the park.) Hmm, I do believe I remember hearing "Tubular Bells." Here are the track titles from the soundtracks I mentioned: The X-Files track is "Secret Vaults." This was played throughout the night, but I'm also fairly certain it was used at the front gate prior to opening. Independence Day is "The Darkest Day." The Nightmare Before Christmas was either a short except from the instrumental portion of "Making Christmas" or "Christmas Eve Montage." I'm fairly certain it was the former. A Nightmare on Elm Street was "Main Title." I can't remember if the full track was used. "Beetlejuice" is "Main Titles." I believe the first 30 seconds were removed and it just cuts right into the theme. I feel like there were more tracks I'm forgetting.

I don't remember this being here...?

Who wants to ride Phantom Theater?
