Sorry to change the subject, but a relative just sent me this- did anyone else see this article? What do you think about it? http://kstp.com/news/power-tower-lawsuit-valleyfair-ride-operator-erik-bedaux-sues-sands-worldwide/4547989/

Looks like under the "Special Events" tab there's two "adult night" events. Have those ever been done before?

I wish I was coming back to Rides this season, but I don't really see it being possible due to some prior experiences. However, I also plan on applying for Live E (I'm auditioning, but also filling out a tech application just in case). But if none of the departments I'm hoping for work out, I'll still be back as a guest.

Call me crazy, but I think we'll get a Winterfest within the next few years.

My guess would be they did so because of people on the ride. Spinning around at 40 mph and hitting a tree branch with your leg probably wouldn't be super fun. Looks like they may be working on the entrance/exit walkways.

Do you know what the issue was? Or why a TL or supervisor had to be there? (Not trying to say you're wrong or attack you, I'm just genuinely curious because every time I rode it there were never issues but there usually was a TL or supervisor there)

Hey everyone, took two Haunt trips this weekend. If you're interested, I wrote a blog post: https://livelaughlovee13.wordpress.com/2016/09/25/haunt-weekend-sept-23-and-24/

Yup, it was an absolute mess. I got off at 4:00 (right when it started) and came back in at about 4:30 as a guest and it was crazy. The puddles near High Roller in Planet Snoopy were ankle deep and the mulch by trees was everywhere. The midway was flooding, and it looked like sewers were backing up. The walkway by bumper cars was also flooded, and near Xtreme Swing was so bad it was barricaded off. I was talking to a guest who said they were back by Renegade and the puddles were at least 2 inches deep (and kids were swimming in the puddles). MNRV Railroad's track was also partially underwater. Here's a couple I took after work yesterday.

Wouldn't shock me at all. I actually think a Windseeker would be more likely than a Gertslauter Sky Fly/ Sky Roller. I don't think they would put the same ride at Nickelodeon Universe in at Valleyfair. The Windseeker couldn't be over 275 feet though. I think if it were to go somewhere, it would go in Wild Thing's helix. That's where I could see it going too! Or if the rumor of enterprise going away for a year and being relocated in the park is real, I could see it going near there.

Call me crazy, but I could see us getting something like a Windseeker (or maybe just some other flat ride) up by Route 76.

Happy Opening Day everyone! I hope anyone who is going out to the park this weekend enjoys it and is excited for the season to come. What's everyone most excited about? I'm excited to be working in the park and to be able to go back and watch the Live Entertainment shows. It's gonna be a great season of new memories, friends, and rides!

I was at the Orientation! Can't wait for location training on the 30th! I was there too on Sunday for orientation! It definitely solidified the idea of working there and I can't wait. It was awesome to see the park coming back to life, and now I'm super excited for training on May 1st! I think I talked to you afterwards. Are you in admissions? That's what I'm doing, lol. I'm in rides, so I'm not sure if we talked or not! And I also have not gotten my ID yet, but I assume we will at location training!

I feel like with High Roller getting new trains, the ride is going to lose its originality (just my unpopular opinion). I'm liking everything the park is doing in the off-season though... Did anyone else see Subway is replacing Ben and Jerry's?! Also, I'll be working in the park this summer, so maybe I'll see some of you around. The season is getting closer!

I have a group interview for Ride Operations tomorrow and I'm sort of nervous... Any suggestions? What are the group interviews like? What's being a ride operator like? Can you pick your hours? And I also have another job opportunity this summer and once it comes down to it, I can only choose one. I'm leaning towards the other one, but I still want to do this interview incase it doesn't work out. If I decide on the other job and VF accepts me, will they be mad if I call and say I got a different opportunity? That one is only until the end of July, but I don't know if VF would be flexible enough to just work weekends until August. It's a long story so feel free to ask me more questions and answer mine on this, or a DM on Twitter. Thanks in advance!
