I appreciate that! The video-cast was the hard part to figure out. I'm pretty good with computers, but I'm no genius with it. They have this vast open source software that someone recommended and I had to figure out all of it. Youtube helped a lot with that. haha

Sporting goods, hockey, baseball, football, theme parks... had to start with one.

Just don’t be shocked if Don peppers in just a LITTLE BIT of knowledge of batting gloves and jock straps from time to time.

Well, isn't it obvious from @BoddaH1994 post?  There will be a new Screamin' Swing going in that is themed to a jock strap!

Thank y’all for your support so far. This has started out very successful. You guys giving us a chance means the world to me!

Personally, I would love to hear about Don's history with working at KI. Any stories that he could share that would be an inside look at how his career has progressed, or how the park itself has changed and/or grown.
