Double post totally worth it: Look at these texture mapping videos. This technology is crazy. https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/0D55BE1CC31138666945000996864_359c9323918.0.1.12861982916334473905.mp4?versionId=O86J4lz8TJpSg96DQntGm70efgOePQF0

^I'll agree with that. Happy Hallowishes is insane. Gives me goosebumps every single time. So many explosions it is overwhelming.

I'm in this boat, also. I learned more from this website, sports, and jobs than I ever did in high school. High school was where I took some of the best naps of my life, though! Investing in computers and iPads for schools does nothing the way they are being used now. I rarely used the computers for actual class work. It was mostly this site, fantasy football, and just mindless internet surfing. The only thing of use I ever learned from the high school computers was Photoshop.

I'm talking about how students are taught to the test, primarily. I really feel like students are taught "nice to know" information rather than "need to know" information. I high school graduate knows how to diagram a sentence but doesn't learn how to file taxes. They can tell you about the themes of Beowulf but now how to prevent ruining their credit history before the age of 25. College is even worse. WAY too many gen ed classes that have nothing to do with your field of study. Of course, you have to pay for each class so it works well in their favor. Preach! OSU made me take a course last semester over Shakespeare. Why is this needed? How will that ever help me? All it did was make OSU $900 or whatever the ridiculous cost was.

Yeah, the whole EPCOT park was boring to me.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parties have been very thin crowded all month. It's due to the hard ticket, but it was sold out a few days ago and was still not that busy.

I mean, what else are you going to do? You can't quit Boofests all together; they're the biggest part of the season. You can't add the stupid metal detectors to the parking lot and screen everybody as they come in. The only thing to do is try to price the riffraff out of the event.

Haunts have been going on for many many years. Is this the first year there have been multiple incidents? I say keep the hours the same, and make it a hard ticket event with more expensive tickets.

Six Flags America isn't the only place having problems. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/10/26/man-dies-after-double-stabbing-at-canadas-wonderland

I wonder if this is a direct result from the survey we all took earlier in the year...

Don't forget this!

Rumor between interns is a giant Frozen castle/area. I think we're just going to guess everything is Frozen until here on out. It's been right so far.

Better question: When was the last time Busch Gardens and the rest of the SEAS parks had good news?

Shirtless photo update?

Ok makes sense. I was walking around New Fantasyland today and was like "How the heck did they spend a billion+ on this?"

Basketball court right next to a pond. No fence. Not great planning.

It is crazy to me that New Fantasyland cost $3.8 Billion.

Good riddance.

Uh... http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/aug/28/disney-puppets-fireworks-drones-patent Very cool.

^This is false, somewhat. I was stuck in Universal's parking garage for forty minutes a few weeks ago. It wasn't even that busy.

The people we've lost in 4 short years is sad.

The SeaWorld parks love weird/awkward pricing strategies.

Usually about the time we are playing in the "This or That" topic it is slow for me. So, around 4 or 5 in the morning.
