I have yet to see this. I've not been in the regular (non-Halloween overlay) HM in decades. Either I've been in the park durign the overlay, or last time, it was closed for refurbishment.

I've got to make it down in late January just for this. Post Halloween and Xmas.

Agreed. If they kept the Sparrow AAs, but returned the original soundtrack, I could live with it. As it is now, I feel like taking my iPod along and listening to the original soundtrack as I ride through.

Oddly, I completely agree with you on this.

On another note, it would be nice to have someone with the passion and dedication that Ouimet apparently displayed at the top. It's the kind of business where you really need people who 'get it' running the show. Empty suits need not apply.

Just reading Al's update on the DLR Pres. Any man sent packing by Harriss/Pressler has my attention. Especially one that was replaced by T. Irby (making the success of his own tenure in that position especially apparent). I was initially concerned when I'd read that he'd worked at DL during the Pressler/Harriss regime out of fear that there'd be "more of same" coming back to the park. Sounds like I'll be delightfully wrong on that count. Consider me as having gone from "cautious" to "cautiously optimistic" about the new guy.

And by George's "partner," I suppose Al is telling us George is "family?"

Funny you should ask that...
