Why does that scare you?

Because the same song plays everytime I enter the line. It seems rigged or something!

[adavisWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

Off topic for a minute:

Anybody notice the new music video loop in some of the ride queues?

Well, when we were waiting for Tatsu for ERT they had that song "Pumped up Kicks" on.

There is a line in the song that goes:
"All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun."

The park actually cut out the word "Gun" in the video. I mean, I know SFMM has had gang problems in the past, but is hearing the word "Gun" really going to cause another riot? It's not like TLC is ever going to play in the park again.

It's just a radio edit that some stations use. We have two pop stations in GR, one allows gun, one doesn't.

By the way, did anyone else run into Bonnie Rabjohn on Saturday? My friends and I did, and she was beyond nice (if a little shy).

She asked us if we were having a good time, and actually apologized for the "dead" areas of the park. She said the park was undergoing a transitional period, with a lots of projects going on at the same time. She had a few people with her, and they seemed to be stopping and looking at everything.

I wish she would participate in the Q&A with Tim and Neal, but I get that it may not be her thing like Jay.

Wow the "ice princess" spoke to some coaster freaks - that's a first. She normally doesn't even speak to any employees or male managers either. IMO she is a horrible president - just the polar opposite of Jay!

I was at the mountain today, and it was a good day for rides. I was on the first train dispatched for Tatsu all by myself in the front row. I couldn't believe they sent a train with only me on it! Who says they don't care about their customers.

I didn't see much progress since Monday on the Superman tower, or (I'm guessing) the new 2013 ride. The old Log Jammer area is cleared out / graded, and they've put plastic on the slope away from the Goldrusher track.

I did notice several "I beams" off to the side of "Pocky's" lift hill. They not very large, but they weren't there on Monday. Maybe some "pieces parts" for Lex?The Jet Stream boats are near these I beams. I also saw some new steel platform pieces within Riddler on the asphalt.

Lastly, the construction wall for Lex now has pictures of the ride on it. Looks good...

^Was it packed today? I am hoping to go tomorrow! Otherwise sounds good!

[coasternutA donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.]

^ It wasn't too bad for a Saturday. Got to get your rides in early. I then came back for an hour at closing. Sundays are normally good. I'll be there for my last day here, then home to South Florida.

Kind of random but inline for the rides do they ONLY play Roll up I just want to run aND that HORRIBLE live black eyed peas performance?

[ReuschiniDid my donkey title just change???]

^Yes.

[AnonymousReedI teach at the school of donkey!]

I hate people. On SFMM's Facebook Page, they asked what's your favorite roller coaster "attribute". What does the public say you ask:

cnt wait to go again

TATSU!

Tatsu, the original x and deja.

Goliath! classic. and the wooden white one

Remember: GP are idiots. If it doesn't have inversions, then the ride sucks! They don't know any of those terms.
