ZosoBeast Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Got to the park around 4:30ish. Just in time to make the parade. The park is PACKED. I head to HB and grab a blue ice cream cone and head over to the tower, grabbing some WOW tickets before taking a seat. It is sooooo hot out that I have to eat my cone in a hurry or risk having it run down my hands and arms! Good eatin right there my friend! The parade comes and the parade goes. Yes, it might look nice and all, but it is WAY to short! After the parade, I head up the tower and I finally get to meet her! The one, the only, PKI_Diana!! Talk about a super friendly person! She took me on a tour of the park from the very top of the tower, pointing this out, pointing that out! She took a lot of time with me! Very Very friendly!!! If you ever go up to the top, make sure you say hi! Afterwards, I did The Beastie to use up some time before my WOW tickets started and then with my WOW tickets, it was SDATHC, WT, BEAST and the Frisbee. Both que sections were open for The Beast so it was even cooler being able to go to the very front of the line! I then filmed the frisbee for a bit and headed over to the Magic show. Some of the show has changed since I seen it last. No Spongbob trailer, no second part of Sleepy Hallow. It was still good for a laugh or 2, but it is pretty uneventful for the most part. A ride on The Vortex and Beast at night ending my short day of fun. Highs: Meeting PKI_Diana The Beast............at night (any spongebob fans get that one?) SDATHC and Frisbee with no lines. Blue Ice Cream Lows: The parade. very very short! Running out of WOW tickets! lol Thanks for reading!! Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonLord Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 You know if you happen to come across a really friendly employee (wheather you know them or not) or they do something really nice for you that you can report that at GR under the front gate and that employee will (at least they are supposed to be) be recognized by their managers and can possibly get rewarded with "Funcentive Points" which are used by employees to get different rewards like CP tickets (among almost a dozen other places) and different park gear and more. The recognition is really good, though, funcentive points or not, because that helps when it comes to promotions/pay raises and rehire status. You can also do the same thing if you come across an employee who was really rude, being unsafe, unfriendly, ect... and the managers will take care of the issues. The parade used to be longer when it first started... I think they are speeding it up a little. *Shrug* Ugh... WOW is nice but man do regular guests complain!

I try to make it a point to leave some sort of GR every time I go. Since you guys are regulars and can spot little things, I would recommend all of you doing that.

docdude316 Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I've never thought about doing that, but I will certainly try to in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI_Diana Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Holy cow! Thanks for the shout out. Like I've always said, everyone is welcome to visit me at the tower....I'll talk your ear off about the park (telling you mostly what I'm allowed to tell you), not to mention that I love my ride, and meeting hundreds of different people every year. It was great meeting you too, stop back often. --Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
