Somehow, I never touched a flashlight on 2 rides through on Monday, yet scored on all 3 colors. Different amounts!?  Wonder if you don’t shoot at all your flashlights just syncs with the ones in the paired car?

^ that's been very controversial this week. The event is being moved from Iroquois Park to the lazy river. The organizer has had it at Iroquois Park for quite some time and funds benefited Louisville parks. Parking evidently was a nightmare and was cited as the reason for the move. The city park officials are organizing a replacement event. The original organizer has two or three other events around the country.  People are saying that this is corporate greed and they will never come to kk again etc.  I'd imagine it's been quite a week for kk pr folks. 

I have one giant bad thing about where I'm staying in St Louis- the area is stroad hell.

I have a suspicion they're rewiring them or something when the buttons break. Maybe they already ran out of replacements. The flashlights, especially the buttons, seem extremely flimsy for something used by hundreds of guests per day, so it doesn't seem like a surprise that they're not lasting even a year.

Of all the screens the furnace seems to be the one that usually is not working.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not.   As far as the flashlights, I have never had one "auto shine".  That being said, this encarnation of PT seems to be more inviting to younger riders and maybe their hands are not big or strong enough to reach the button let alone hold it.  I think having the flashlights on constantly would be a good move for the ride.
