Sunday was Worlds of Fun:

...After he concludes his theme park tour, he will start making plans for his next big accomplishment: walking across the Grand Canyon on a high wire.The event will be televised and will be held in memory of his grandfather, who fell to his death during a high-wire performance in 1978.

I just looked at the park's e-mail about the walk... it appears that it will be about the same set-up as last time, from the tower to the entrance. I was hoping for something a little different...but on the other hand since I am going to KIC Day the following week I now won't have to drive back and forth 2 weekends straight.
