Interesting Things Ride-Ops Do
The lady running the e tower couple weeks ago was telling us about the starlight show and was like" where we play about a 100 different versions of the snoopy theme including a hard rock one and i really wish i was making that up" also she was joking around with one of the other ops "don't mess with an English redhead with pig-tales" :-). she definitely made the elevator ride much more fun

education days this week
This week is the "math and science days". I had a bad experience last time i went on one of those days with some of the kids(cuting lines etc). I just looked at the webcam and it looked fairly dead atm, if anyone goes there this week could you please give us some feedback on if things are going better this year and the crowds etc please?

weather 5-4
even if it does rain if anything it would reduce crowds and its worth waiting out if it does. I remember 1 time couple years ago i waited in Vortex que area for 30 min when all the lines were hour+ when it stormed and when it passed everything was a walk on heck the the swing ride guy was literally begging people to ride promising to be their friend if they did lol

2012 Season: What's New?
At least in the car i rode, the boo blasters guns made no sounds. Adventure e the "lava" the guy dumps on you wasent lit like last year(and someone left that lift hill tunnel door open again). The buses only area was 99% buses instead of 30% buses and rest cars etc lol. Crypts signs are removed or covered. On a side note- i noticed most of the employees,especially the ones working outdoors, pretty much 90% of them were in shorts even though it was in the 40's-low 50's all day. poor guys and gals then again they probably had a choice in the matter and underestimated how cold it was gona be :-)
