The "e" word
Even before we opened The Raven back in 1995, we started hearing from coaster enthusiasts.
They'd found us.
And life hasn't been the same since.
Little by little, we learned the jargon.
Air time.
Laterals.
Double up.
Trims. (Oh, pardon me. Bad word.)
And then there's the beloved acronym: ERT.
That's short for "exclusive ride time," meaning after the park closes for the day the coaster enthusiasts are escorted back to the coasters and they get extra rides.
Usually in the dark.
There are a number of clubs made up of these aficionados. In case you're interested in joining, here's the link to a list of clubs which join in our special event, HoliWood Nights.
Maybe we'll even teach you the secret handshake.

"Helping hands..."
If you've got little ones, you now have that HoliDazzles song rattling around in your brain.
You're welcome.
If you don't have little ones, we don't want you to feel left out.
Meanwhile, these "helping hands" are on some hard-working fellows.
That's Dennis, Sean and Chad; they're just a few of our Coaster Maintenance Technicians.
We probably need to gather some laundry tips for them, not to mention soap recommendations.
They're working on The Legend's track, performing standard maintenance.
Try as I might to replace "Helping Hands" with "If I Had A Hammer," it's not happening.
Maybe a Michael Bolton song would do it?
