^ you should have brought him over for a side-bar at the Dipping Dots cart. you coulda gotten *all* the scoop

Well that's a coincidence, because I'm not ready to visit without it.

Yes, he was there Monday. I met him in the queue on American Thunder. He's visiting all the parks in the SF chain on the down low to get a feel for what each park might need. He is the nicest guy I have ever met that worked in the corporate office. He was super incognito, just trying to be a regular guest. The guy has a vision, and he sees every six flags as becoming a premium experience that rivals places like Cedar Point and Hershey Park. And he cares about every park, even little old us. No, I didn't get any secret plans or anything, although not for my lack of trying. Gives me hope our park won't be left behind anymore. (And if you believe any of this I have a bridge to sell you)

New parking setup at Dollywood is seriously a head scratcher. Arrive early and it's not a problem. Hope it doesn't rain because you'll get very wet walking to the tram station. Seems strange they moved it so far out. Otherwise, park was dead today. Longest wait was maybe 15 minutes on Firechaser. LR was a 10 min wait most of the day and was running good. Drop Line is still closed but now has seatbelts installed.

The place I work for puts on a big pride parade and festival in Buffalo, this year it's making it's return. https://buffaloprideweek.com/the-festival Never been to either of the events before, and despite not knowing any of the performers, it'll be a fun time and I bought a witty shirt to wear, lol. And my wife got a great one too.... Featuring performances and entertainment by Rebecca Black, Kornbread, Sonja Morgan (Real Housewives of New York) and Margaret Josephs (Real Housewives of New Jersey), Vogue Buffalo, BeBe, Jayme Coxx and Vanna Deux.

Several of us got to participate in a photo/video shoot for Sally Dark Rides on Wednesday. And we got lots of rides in the process. Sworn to not reveal details on the 4D Volcanu-Quest for the Golden Idol but I'll say this....It's the best dark ride I've ridden. Very immersive and people are going to love it. Things are still running a bit behind in the park but they're making good progresson construction and detail stuff. . Like everywhere, staffing is an issue too. They still have June 10 on the calendar for opening but that could certainly get pushed.
