Amazing that this number came up so fast, but with the crew, you can ride it over and over and not break a sweat in line. Stinky times the line from when we start to when we get in the cattle queue to ride, tonight was less than ten minutes. (BLST, however, had a molasses tsunami on its' hands.)

I am so sorry happened. It's a bear to replace the stolen cards, I know. The Security are truly sympathetic, aren't they? I might recommend getting back to the park, even if it's just a few hours, to get over the shakes of being robbed. It sounds strange but helps.

Today was a list of firsts for me, I saw high school kids unable to understand the word "FastLane" and not understand why they were being turned away due to not having bracelets, saw another group of kids not understand Fastlane, and decided to break into the line upon coming halfway back from being turned away. Two security guards stopped people smoking in line. As we were leaving, we were at a full stop at the end of the parking lane. A pair of couples walked in front. The two men accused us of of trying to hit them, and that they were going to beat us senseless for laughing about it. We were stopped, and we weren't laughing, I just couldn't believe they were real in their intentions. They positioned themselves badly, for we drove right by them as they continued their threats. I feel bad for the girls that were with them- the women were stuck with that anger as we puttered away. I know security can't be all places at all times, and I hope these jokers didn't pull this stunt with a family, but perhaps better lighting and/or clearly marked cameras in the parking lot might be a good idea. With this, I have the question, "What kind of person would try to start a fight in the parking lot after a great day at the park?"

It's a good space cleared out as I saw today, but I don't see what the fuss is about- it's off the beaten track. They will have to hang the glowing skullhead closer to the entrance of The Beast for people to know it's there. If they hace a wood frame, it'll fit in with the rest of the old mill.

I would want a stuffed donut. It would go along great next to the stuffed hotdog I have that my mom won at the park in the 70s. Get on down to Rivertown across from the fries stand, before they sell out.

Haha! Opening day, there was this poor girl that was barking for people to play a game, and all they gave her as prizes were hokey stuffed donuts. She was doing her grandest, but the people didn't want that prize. The basketball booth was doing whizbang business, so it wasn't that no one wanted to play the games, and it wasn't that the donut barker was lousy, she just got a bum rap with her prize offering. If she had more appealing prizes that would appeal to teens today, she could've done much better. Rivertown isn't supposed to be spooky, but voodoo themed prizes would work in that area, as would snakes, gaters, even the skeleton themed teddies. Anything but donuts

We want theming, and when we get theming, we crab about it. Some customers skip Haunt years if the mazes are the same, fresh mazes bring in people, even if it's pass holders, we buy food, souvenirs etc.. If it is a Haunt, then it'll thin the line for other Haunts, people's memories will be more positive than if they spend half the night waiting in line, and they'll return for more Haunt. I didn't even go through the two new Haunts, the lines were too long. This event brings in the dough, look at the crowds, and what they are carrying. You can't walk two feet without seen a teenager swamped with glow in the dark trinkets. Besides, it'll be used for park purposes during the year, like storing game prizes. The basketball hoop stand has some big items that can't be left out overnight. Speaking of prizes and theming, how about some gators and voodoo prizes for the games, to keep the Rivertown vibe? One game had donuts as prizes. Who wants a stuffed donut?

Sounds like The Bayou and Wolfpack shoved together in a transporter. Are the Garoux going to wear raggedy clothes like on Mardi Gras? The Haunt buildings are used for storage during the regular season, aren't they, for the prizes, etc., in that area? I'm not so bothered about it, if it IS for KI, but I like Cajun stuff, and it suits the theme of Rivertown. I hope they play a lot of Doucet and Balfa Brothers if it's KI that gets the Acadian wolves. I kinda wanna be a Garou, now, but I'm so short, I'd come across as a varmint.

From what you saw when taking the picture, would those roof framey things have the shape of barn dormers?

Lol... right but he wasn't a REAL hippie. He was the shiny rich suburb kid version of a hippie. His whole get up was most definately bought at the mall. The poor "try a new persona" people, they always overdo everything. I understand completely about the stink of patchouli, I had an acquaintance, who, at forty, got a divorce and began hanging around her sons' friends. You could smell her a good minute before she came up the drive. We had to air out the garage when she left, thank god she didn't escape into the house.

Glad it's open at least, I really like that ride. Every time I'd been to it lately, there's not the largest line in the world, so I can see it not being on FastLane. FastPass Banshee would be a waste, the line is so fast. (Edit:corrected brand name.)

Glad I didn't go, then. I was wavering, because I want to experience it, but July 4th weekend I thought would be super crowded. Boddha, I think it will be a blast, especially as I can't tell when the sensors will go off.

Maybe it's just a little nosh stand, the park has been focusing on the menu more.

I always let them take my picture. Sometimes I pose like a movie poster.

Inside info: the plastic things are back ordered. They'll be restocked by the weekend, barring outside restrictions.When he said they were gone, that was my first thought- the containers are unusual, and perhaps they sold more that they thought they would.I do wish to try it, I've never bought fudge at KI before, but the new packaging fixes the problem I had with buying it.

Haha! You reminded me of one of the funniest moments I ever had at KI. The Zodiac was a double armed ferris wheel that was in the park in the 70's. We had to share the cage with a particularly smelly dad and two kids. My cousin lost his self-censorship due to the smell, and looked me, held his nose, and said loudly announced, "Pew!" The family just looked at him as if he were referring to someone else. The Zodiac had cages with iron bar sides, air constantly blew through the cage due to the motion, And this family still made us sick with their stank!

I love the short wait of Banshee, I'm one of those people that stream straight from the gate to her. To start a visit with that fast line and great ride is fantastic- it sets up the mood for the rest of the day. The Banshee crew are tops.

A Disney Avenger would be one in the film uniforms, am I right? A Marvel Avenger would be drssed in the more traditional garb from the comics? Disney Ironman would sound like a trashbag of batting helmets when he walked around to greet the kids. There's so many legal divisions in companies today. The Marvel Lego game is put out by Warner Bros.. I recall The Transformers were a big hit when they came to the park. They guys inside the suit wore throat mics, so their senses of humor came off a little strange with the flat electronic voices.

Actually, the tweet reminded me of the Dino's in the Dark gig- perhaps the camping lanterns used on an archeological dig?

Sometimes I find myself as part of that brigade, because people are rude and decide to walk in front of you while you are walking. But I am also the one who will not slow down when people walk in front of me with out looking at me. Sometimes all it takes is eye contact and a "oops" look and no one gets mad. But if you cross infront of me because you cant wait for me to go around, my stroller is heavy If we dont push boundaries, sometimes those boundaries never move... Thanks for the explanation. I can understand the momentum of a stroller, It's like a payday shopping cart, and I don't walk in front of them. I've seen women use them as battering rams to get where they want to go, though, running into people from behind, setting them off balance- the "oops" in that case comes with a spiteful smile. Homestar, I agree with parents that take kids and only seem to be there for themselves, from my experience (being that I was lucky enough to be able to board with the kids), that time goes way too fast, and then they are off to The Racer. They should love Planet Snoopy for all it's worth, because someday they'll walk through it and remember the great times they gave the kids.

Crepe hangers. Misinformed people telling other riders that people died on what ride and when. They make it sound like Vortex ends with a guillotine. The parents that sit on a bench during Haunt and let their kids, that invariably smell of urine, stand on the rails in line in front of you so that you, too, can appreciate the urine smell full blast. Smokers outside of the personalized, comfy coral that was devised for them and only them. Attention mongers- girls that laugh too hard and falsely in line, etc., The Mad Max Stroller Brigade. I understand that having a kid makes you the Only Person in the Universe, but to me, my shins are real, and that metal bar you use as a weapon hurts.

No one knows about M.R. James anymore, but his concepts are frightening- a federal house concept where some of his themes can be played out; considering his not well known, not many of the patrons would know what's gling to happen. Sometimes a whisper near the ear is better than loud yelling. They have snakes in the Bayou themed house, the girls seem to have a solid hold on them, and it's not like the snakes seem alarmed or afraid. Pigs are skittish, anyway. Psychotic pigs are the worst. Slaughterhouse does well without them, they seem to have been able to keep that smell.

It was a fantastic ad while it lasted- Is it off to another CF park?

Once I was approached at KI for wearing a shirt that had Beethoven's autograph on it. It wasn't until the guard got right up on it that he saw the concert information on the shirt. Those of you who have seen Beethoven's signature, youd'd realize thst to somoene who hasn't seen it, it looks like BS. I just turned it inside out- it was enough of a distraction to attract one guard, I didn't want a day of that.

Don't even go there- you mentioned my dad's favorite Disney movie, and it was a bear (and a fox and a rabbit) to get him a copy.
