lol.  Of course the one day that'd I'm going to be there is the one day you will not.  Such is life.  Well, I'll have to catch you some other time.  ;D

^translation: I'm a lazy college professor who is set in my ways and I refuse to get on board with the "rest of the world" and allow people the freedom to take the test earlier if so needed.

You might want to remind her that you are one of the reasons she can afford to put food on her table at night and that you are in fact paying her to teach you.

The University of Colorado is considered the "greenest" university in the nation --- but that sure doesn't help their sports teams from sucking any less... same thing here. ;)

It just isn’t that simple and there is something much lager going on here. Why is the Waterboggan and Splash Harbor gone? You will see in the future.

OR if you have been playing along at home you'd already know the answer to this.
I'm just sayin'

Copper are you working opening week at all?  I'd like to meet up again if you are.

SDC seems to be moving away from the crafts and shopping and relying more on the rides to draw crowds. Maybe its more corporate thinking that they should add something that is not usable during half of its operating year... I am looking forward to the new ride but cant shake the fact that common sense is not comming into play here.

Well I can tell you that a new ride is much more marketable then adding a new craft demonstrator.
Seriously what would excite you more if you were a first time visitor to SDC

"Come ride the wettest ride in the country - New for 2010 RIVER BATTLE only at SDC"
or
"Come watch history come to life by watching our new Candle Making demonstration - New for 2010 only at SDC"

I see what you are getting at, but from a marketing stand point the new ride is going to win out every time.

I got it too.  I was underwhelmed by it to say the least

My only complaint about this area is the fact that it will basically "shut its doors" when it gets too cold for wet rides and that is a huge area in the middle of the park that will be underutilized -- with that being said, I am very excited about this new addition and the level of detail that has been added to this area of the park.

↑↑ Apple Butter store is now up near the Homestead - I think where the basket shop was.

What do they mean by an elevator helping all children having access to the land-based water blaster fort?

There is an elevator on the new fort next to the old fort

The theming is awesome on this ride.  Shows that SDC still knows how to do things right, and this really makes that area look more alive then it ever has.  Looking forward to the 19th so I can see this for myself.

But... I thought they said on the news...

If you go by the news (especially ABC) you'd think that it was in the middle of a show and the whale ate the girl there in front of a capacity audience.  You cannot believe the news.

1. It is not trained.  It is used solely for breeding purporses
2. It is not used in shows.
3. The trainer slipped into the holding tank.  The whale did not grab her.
4. Only the death in Canada was a "provoked" killing.  The 2nd killing was only "assumed" that the whale killed it only because the naked man was in the whale's tank.
5. The whale has lived its entire life in captivity - releasing it would be like forcing you to go live in the woods for the rest of your life without any prior training.

^Do what my parents did when I was little - have the height marks on a wall at home and have the kid measure themselves before they go so they know exactly which ones they can and cannot ride (Mom made them, just a little bit taller then the actual height, just in case the measurements at the park were "off" compared to at home -- better safe then sorry).  This prevented a lot of complaining from us kids because we already knew if we were tall enough to ride certain rides before we got to the park.

There will be a fence around the WB location, so IDK what "unobstructed views" you are going to get this year that you didn't last year.  I'd think your views would have been better last season
