It's OK to joke around with us...the rest room thing...you make me roll my eyes and groan. Funny. Still, I'm firm when I say if you never visited SDC prior to the mid 80s, you don't know/remember what I'm talking about when it comes to theme. Anyway, you are right Swoosh, I think Outlaw Run is going to be a popular and successful attraction. We will all find out what happening on Friday when we see it all with our own eyes!

Chittlins: You are remembering some of the line entertainment, done by the employees to entertain and keep visitors minds off the fact they were standing in line. The diving bell had tug o war, the toss test, Ozarks bathing suit contest, turtle races, and the Juniors told jokes, sang songs, and visited with guests. FITH had the bucket brigade where visitors passed buckets full of water down the line. The warden at Flooded Mine would carry a short night stick and smack it on the railing at the the loading area, creating a loud bang which scared folks and made them laugh as he explained rules for the mine. The fishing guides at the float trip told jokes about "the mighty James River, 8th wonder of the world, the only river to run in a complete circle!" It was a fun time. I was stationed in Grandfathers Mansion in costume, would follow people through the halls, put a light on my face in a two way mirror to scare folks, and so on. I do wish they would revive the line entertainment, it would be fun for all.
