    Because of it’s proximity to the Eiffel Tower, theme the ride to Paris, repaint the cars to resemble French taxi cabs and rename the ride itself, “Les Taxis.” 

    It is not what I would want to do myself. But it is a more realistic option.

    I actually like this a lot! If I get the free time I might do up some renderings

    The landscaping is VERY lacking compared to past years. The many trees cut down does not look good as well as the lack of mulching.

    Landscaping takes a bit of time to get fully prepared and landscapers have their hands very full behind the scenes during this time of year, give em' some time and the park will be looking great! (I was on the landscaping team last year and learned first hand how much work goes into everything with a relatively small team). There was also a wind storm not too long ago that ended up damaging a lot of trees unfortunately and they have to be taken care of for guest safety.

    Ah! I put this together with my supervisor, thank you for taking a picture, I can't go up in the tower during work, I'm glad it turned out clean! Here are some progress pictures:

  4. I was assigned the back seat today and boy howdy, that was the roughest ride I think I've ever had on a roller coaster. It felt pretty alright on the new retracted drop, but otherwise I was ready to be done by the second tunnel before lift 2.

  5. Appreciate the feedback guys! I submitted a Playlist of projects I've been on, but havent cut an official reel which I'm now resolving (its tricky because some clients don't like the work I did for them being shared outside the official material). My biggest concern is not having the ability to resubmit any new applications like with past jobs I've had. I'm gonna work to resolve issues with a demo reel and will look into HR for future questions. 

  6. Hey guys, I recently applied for a motion graphic artist position that opened at the park and this morning saw that I was reviewed and declined. In the past I've applied for other positions as well with the same result. For the current position I'm not sure if it was the result of not having a demo reel that I personally cut together or not (They requested a YouTube link for a demo reel, but I don't personally have a reel, just a playlist of projects ive been involved with). Is there a way I am able to re apply for a position like this if I do cut together a demo reel, or is there any way I can contact someone at the park to learn more about the position so that I can better fit my portfolio? 

     

    (Edit: Also I apologize if this isn't the right place to ask, i checked other topics and this seemed like the right place)

    This is really making me feel like it is just going to be simple utility upgrades.

    There was a large truck parked down one team near the right most circle that night too with what looked like some wire tubes or something so that sounds about right.

  8. Hey just wanted to update you guys, I clean the parking lot perimeter at the park and found markers all the way out across from tropical plunge down to 1 team way along the roadside. (No pictures though I like to keep my phone away at work)

  9. If openings get pushed back i think its for the best. I personally would rather avoid going to the park (Or any of my planned park road trips) until i hear more positive news about the containment and control of things. While i dont see it completely going away this year, i would hope for things to start being contained after a few months. Its a hard call living just about 10 minutes from the park, but with my downtown classes being moved online and my girlfriends work preparing for working remotely i think its got the best to buckle down and be safe and keep informed.

  10. Assuming that these are not the official lighting package lights (Maybe maintenance lights since you would need them to light things up safely) I think it would be really cool if there are LEDs running the lift like Fury, but instead of being a solid line the light up animated from top to bottom to create a meteor shower effect

  11. I've seen what the cup bits look like (have seen bits from someone who has access to the site though i wont name names since i don't know if they should or not) and that's real. They just cleanly trimmed up the ends from one of the cut parts (you would just need some good cutting tools and like you said taking some time)
