VTR- Video Trip Reports
At CP we are Screamsters not scare-actors. I know the op/ Screamster you talk of, and she is funny. Your video shows someting I'm used to, Dragster launches on the third yellow not green. I resent the fact you called Bayou better then Terror Island.

Guests Say The Darnest Things
At CP a guy was trying to impress his friends said "The reason Iron Dragon is closed, is because a car flew off into the lagoon." This was said in a place in which both train 1 and 2 were visible.

Tips for guests going to a haunted event.
A few additions to the list. -Put the cell phone away, too many guest character run ins due to people trying to text. -Keep moving foward, heading backwards or waiting can interfere with an actors bit. -No open beverages, or your 4.00 drink maynot end up inside you -Give the actor the right of way if they are walking against the current, It's there house and by not letting by can mess up the show for people behind you -Most importantly NO SMOKING OR LIGHTERS, see Great Adventure's tragedy for more information.

Death of Ron Toomer
http://www.amusementtoday.com/ The man responsible for millions of smiles and tears of joy. Many enjoy his creations yet fail to know his name. A true pioneer and visionary who helped revolutionized the coaster world and amusement business. Without him we may have never met a mine ride or a corkscrew or a suspended or even a hyper coaster. His creations will live on for now, large steel monuments more impressive then any statue could ever be. Sure his rides may bang our heads and bruise our thighs, they may even be a little rough and bumpy but we ride again for the thrill out lives the pain. Ron's biggest achievement? the fact he did most his work on paper as computer designs were non existent. Long before Intamin, Vekoma, Boliger & Mabillard we had Arrow with Ron Toomer who started many enthusiast love of coasters, including me. In closing he will be missed but remembered fondly, particularly when we mention 5-1. In tribute I will ride Iron Dragon first on Friday instead of Millie.
