Mr. Christopher

There's a competition?

We know you're not the snarky user, Just Kidding (formerly FusionDude). Snarky? I prefer "honest".

It was a heavily-themed totally-immersive dark ride adventure.

"Wait, that's a fear zone?"

Wax and mediocrity.

That's too bad because it's not changing.

"Where are the midgets?"

They had a full year to prepare for it? Do you really believe that?

I hear there's fog.

That is from the end of the Hot Blooded show. I haven't seen the show myself, but it's made me jump a couple times while waiting for or on Diamondback. Hot Blooded isn't the only location to have concussion shots...

The answer to the question is Ed Alonzo.

Cedar Fair is utilizing a different fog machine and fluid combination. The resulting fog is different than in years past.

Fire alarm systems aren't the only thing that have an effect on whether or not something stays or goes. Maintenance costs are another factor.

Time? Money? Some would disagree...

I don't think I've heard any rap on the playlist. The type and era of music isn't as important as the mood it sets. Songs like "Rumor Has It" and "Somebody That I Used To Know" definitely should have been left off. Mixing in some popular, current hits can be a positive thing, as these are the songs the current generation can sing along to. Just pick those hits that will set a festive mood, even in those who don't sing along to current Top 40 songs on their ipod all day long. Also, if the soundtrack needs to be audible throughout the park, more and better speakers should be added to avoid uncomfortable volume levels in certain places. While I agree with all of your points, the fact is is that the park is using satellite music to feed all of the areas (except Planet Snoopy and Dinosaurs Alive). There are a few station selections, though the overall playlists cannot be changed since they are "piped" in. There really is no "customization" in terms of the music you hear; It's essentially the same thing you hear in restaurants, malls, etc. that use the same music service. Such a shame that it isn't back to the old setup of having zoned soundtracks. The sound system itself needs a complete overall, in my opinion.

Petula Clark would agree.

Got a pulse? Can you work these dates? Congrats, you're hired.

They also bleep the train when it uses profane language.

Durga is not depicted with more than one head, so she couldn't have been in Preshow. The shrine that existed was a depiction of Brahma. Kali is a possibility for the Heart of the Tomb, though Kali and Durga are both associated as forms of Shakti and one is essentially a transformation of the other. In promotions of Tomb Raider: The Ride, Durga is mentioned, not Kali. Kali is typically depicted holding a severed head and wearing a garland of human skulls, which the carving does not possess. It could be argued that when Durga is "awakened", Kali manifests herself, thus her anger is shown when the blacklights engage (also showing skulls around her). Simply put, the carving seen in the ride is a scenic designer's depiction of a form of Durga, which has been tailored to fit the story. If you looked carefully on the ride, Durga is holding a disc that contains the "all seeing eye" in a form that closely resembles the clock piece from the original film.

And his coverage of pot roast.

I hear ducks can't keep secrets.

Good question.

They are sending their Dinosaurs to space. Duh.

Maybe Durga was hot and needed to open some windows.

Brakes on coasters are designed to be fail-safe. A loss of power causes them to engage automatically. Coaster trains situated on lift hills will stop with the anti-rollback devices and are evacuated if necessary. I believe auxiliary devices such as air floors and ramps can be operated with an emergency hook-up outside of the normal air supply; backup generators assist in powering PLCs and other ride equipment for a short period of time. All rides and attractions have procedures in place in case of power failure. Redundancy is the key here.
