To answer the question they usually do. From what I understand they usually find a family with 2-3 kids and bring them up. They also pick a kid from that family to "launch" the fireworks.

Do they really invite random people to come up to the International restaurant to watch the fireworks and eat pizza? My wife to this day wonders how we have yet to be asked? I could care some but I am curious?

They do. My family was picked on August 10th last year, and GatorGirl got to push the button to "start the fireworks."

Do the drive you out to the woods where the fireworks are launched or is there a remote launch from the international restaraunt

No, it's a button right in front of the KI sign on international street

And I'm fairly certain the button is just a prop and doesn't actually do anything.

But the kids don't need to know that.

50 feet is five stories. Nowadays, many Americans couldn't safely climb five stories of stairs. It's not 1972 anymore.

See also Demon aka Screamin' Demon or the old giant slide.

Which is a bummer. I liked the Giant Slide.

Many Americans like myself would definately scramble five stories for the fun at the top.

Hey there.

I'm thedevariouseffect's girlfriend who works at the Eiffel Tower. Any questions, direct them towards me!

I've seen you before many times....2nd degree of thedevariouseffect, and only four more degrees of Kevin Bacon!

Love the thought of a restaurant on Eifel tower kind of like the tower in Vegas on the strip! Of course smart money, would be to reopen INTERNATIONAL Restaurant above the turnstiles:

Why Kevin Bacon...more like

Christopher Walken

they still use it for pizza party during the fireworks and rent for the kids birthday parties when they don't want the Dino party.

The former IR is used for more things than just hosting pizza parties and other events. They use it as a commissary to prepare food used else where in the park. Don't forget the entire front gate complex is used more than just to allow guests to enter the park. You have offices, shops, restrooms, equipment rooms that is housed in the front gate complex. Any new front gate entrances would have to include all of these uses, plus the restaurant and commissary. One of the features of the currant entrance is the eye popping effect of the grand fountain and tower as you step through the entrance. The current entrance serves its purpose as it is. But maybe some improvements to enhance the guest experience as they have their tickets scanned and enter the park.

Kevin bacon is the man!

But Walken...

Can't compare to the Walken
