Looking Back... July 2007

Dude, where's your belt?
Why in the world is that low-hanging-britches thing still in style?
Fellas ... nobody, but nobody, wants to see your boxers.
Nobody.
Recently a fellow in that mode of dress sauntered up to one of our Sweepers with a question:
"Dude ... how do I get to the water park?"
Mrs. Koch just happened to be standing nearby. She waited patiently while the Sweeper explained the easiest route.
Then she sprung into action.
She tapped the casually-dressed fellow on the arm (he was easily a foot taller than she, so she couldn't reach his shoulder).
When he turned to look at her, Mrs. Koch smiled brightly and said:
Dude ... would you please pull up your pants? I'm really not interested in seeing what kind of underwear you have on today.
Happily, the dude yanked up his britches as he made his way toward the Splashin' Safari entrance.
The young Sweeper, with a big grin on his face, high-fived Mrs. Koch.

Neither rain, nor snow...
...nor thunder and lightning.
A family who visited earlier this month relates a sweet story on our What Our Guests Are Saying blog.

A day to celebrate
Merry Christmas in July!
Mrs. Koch, after all, is Santa's Daughter. Despite the heat of a summer day, she's happy to model Santa's jacket.
The white gloves come as no surprise, given her love of all things related to cleanliness. (We're a little concerned she may not give them back to Santa.)
Can she rustle up a hearty ho-ho-ho?
Not a problem.
"Hey! That's my line!" comes booming from Santa's Storytime Theater.
A warm hug from Santa on a toasty day? There's nothing cooler.

Before anyone's head explodes...
I give.
I thought the statement that I would reveal what's being built next week was a clear indication it was not something really big.
It was simply something being built.
Near the highway.
In clear view of, well, anyone driving by.
Creating a bit of a buzz.
Alas, coaster enthusiasts, ye hardly know me.
You've been on top of the world guessing what is going on. Dreaming big. Posting bigger.
Finally someone old enough (sigh!) caught the puns.
We've Only Just Begun.
For All We Know.
Close To You.
...and I just added another one in this post (Top of the World).
Just a tiny bit familiar?
A brother and sister act...
No, not Donny and Marie.
Not Will and Natalie either.
That's right ... The Carpenters.
Carpenters. Hmmmm...
We have carpenters on staff.
Hard-working fellows.
They deserve a new workshop, don't they? They've outgrown the old one.
That's right -- the carpenters are building themselves a new Carpenters Shop.
Meanwhile, It's Going To Take Some Time before we announce what's new for you next year.

Pass it along
Oftentimes in May, we get emails from folks asking when might be the best time to purchase Season Passes at a discount.
With a sigh, I reply that the best time was the previous fall. ("I'm sorry, as I know this doesn't help you for this year, but for future reference ...")
It's not quite the fall of the year, yet ... but our '08 season pass prices will be announced in a week or so, with the deepest discounts available through the end of this season, October 14.
The info will be released via our e-newsletter. If you'd like to receive a copy, please sign up here.
It's not exactly the new Harry Potter book, but it's the best I've got...
