I've found this to be an old argument used mostly by anti-maskers to avoid wearing masks at parks. Bottom line: if you wear your mask correctly, it'll stay on your face. Also speaking from experience of 4 days at parks in November with masks.

I have reservations for Monday, July 5th and Wednesday, July 7th for the park. Since the 5th is when most people get off for the 4th, I'm obviously planning on unlimited quick queue for that day. So the question is: if I buy in advance and for whatever reason, the park ends up being absolutely dead/lines are non-existent; will I be able to get a refund? Alternatively, how likely is it to sell out in park day of? And since I'm here, what is recommended for late-night bites in the area after park close? Or should I just plan on food at my lodgings?

Yay! Celtic Fyre is returning in time for my visit! Hopefully all rides will be open on weekdays by then as well. Not holding out too much hope for Pantheon, though.

Regarding Valleyfair's Larson model, and I'm speaking from experience as I have operated the attraction, don't know if it's even possible to snap the cables to the point where we didn't train the new ops on what to do if cables were snapped.

^Saving this post for my July trip.

Samuel E. Wright, 74, of prostate cancer. Known for his work with Disney including voicing Sebastian in The Little Mermaid and originating the role of Mufasa in the Lion King on Broadway.

^Gotcha. Currently, I have 2 cosplays, 2-3 of my original characters, or just a handful of accessories from a couple different IPs.

^Dammit. My sister loves Schitt's Creek and her birthday is in a couple weeks. And I already bought her present.

Yay cons! Hopefully I'll get to my first this year (if I don't count Renaissance festivals). Are you planning any cosplays this year, Bert?

Last week, I went to go see Spiral: From the Book of Saw. I had a ticket for the 8:30 showing (read: the trailers start at 8:30). But 20 minutes later, there's still a still image of the Chevrolet logo onscreen and the audio is playing bad country music. So the manager walks in says they've been having playback issues and we are being upgraded to the 9:30 showing on the complex's premium screen with free admission tickets for the next time. As for the movie itself, I wasn't all that impressed with the traps/gore. There was a twist you could see a mile coming. And as a Saw movie, it suffered from a lack of John Kramer's (Tobin Bell) philosophy and presence. Even 4-8 were centered around Kramer's philosophy after the character died--Hoffman can still go die in a brazen bull, though. And with the free ticket I got, I saw Wrath of Man this week. I just couldn't buy into the plotting or structure of the film. This would be easier to excuse if the action was better but it was mediocre at best. And the twist felt unearned to the point of "we need a twist to get to the climax so here you go" kind of feeling.

What's the Pop! I've been looking for? It's been Agatha all along.

Charlie Clouser's "Hello Zepp" from the Saw soundtrack. A great theme for the Saw series and just a great piece of instrumental music overall.

It's definitely an interesting merchandising gimmick with the web shooters, but Especially since they seem like they're exclusive to the park.

It has been two weeks since I received the second dose of the Moderna vaccine. I am now fully vaccinated.

Fat the Whuck? When I worked for Cedar Fair, the uniform itself was free, but accessories (hats, jackets, etc.) we had to pay for.

There was an annoying skin tag on my neck for the longest time. It decided to fall off this morning. Saves me the trouble of removing it.

I lube up my burger buns and cook them in the same pan is the burger patty. Usually I use butter. Recently though, I've used collected bacon grease to do this. While the pictured didn't taste the best of the ones I've cooked this way, it's the best picture I have.

Looking at making reservations to the park for my trip in July. Does anyone know if Gold passholders can have reservations for multiple days at a time? Or is it just easier to get 2 separate 1-day tickets?

I could either go BGT's Montu or WDW's Rock n' Roller Coaster. The first time I rode Montu, I would officially move into my college dorm the next day. So technically, I was still living in the Minneapolis area. Later when I rode it during college, it could also be considered the closest coaster to where I was living at the time. Rock n' Roller Coaster is the furthest from home on a trip.

I'm looking at making park reservations this weekend and I have a couple questions about the process. I have the SEAS platinum pass from SWSA FWIW. Visiting 2 days between July 5-8. 1. I'm assuming I can only have a single reservation at a time, correct? Can I reserve my second day while I am in the park on day 1 or do I have to wait until the next day/park close? 2. What crowd capacity is the park currently operating on and do locals think it could be increased by my trip?

A 10 year old boy was shot by my sister's house on Friday afternoon. Around 20 shots were fired, a couple of them went into my sister's house, near where she was sitting on her couch. Last I heard, the boy was still in critical conditon. Sources: Article Video where my sister's interviewed.

Definitely some intriguing news. Glad to see someone pick this ride up and I'll definitely make some time for it the next time I'm in the Dallas area.

I was listening to "A Whole New World" from Aladdin earlier and I misheard the line "Tell me Princess, now when did you last let your HEART decide" as "Tell me Princess, now when did you last let your FART decide?" And now I need to write the rest of that parody.

"Within You" by David Bowie. I'm currently watching Labyrinth.

Because BMI says that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is obese. I dare anyone to call a guy who could bench-press a tank obese. But congratulations on your journey!
