Someone snapped in the meeting

Can you call photos "snapshots" anymore?

Seems old-fashioned.

Obsolete even.

But I still like to say I snapped some pictures, so unless instructed otherwise by the lexicon police, we shall continue.

As promised, here is the photo of the design for the Pilgrims Plunge station.

There were all sorts of plans and documents spread out on our almost-too-large-for-the-room conference table.

Plans for Pilgrims Plunge

Here's Sandor from Intamin, pointing out something important.

Either that, or he's squishing a bug.

(Wait. We got rid of that fruit fly months ago.)

After the main session, some caucuses were held.

Tori dashed over to talk to Sandor about queuing and staffing.

Sandor and Tori
...either that or they're in the midst of a scintillating game of tic-tac-toe.

Just in time for Veterans Day

It's not exactly an Iwo Jima reenactment, but something about these photos stirs the heart.

That's Bryan, on top of The Voyage's lift hill, sending up Old Glory.

You can see the spotlight already in place; it's really pretty at night.


Voyage flags
The stars and stripes soar above all the other flags on the coaster's lift.


Here's Sean on the other side of the coaster tracks, with a second American flag.

Voyage flagGood thing they waited for a day with no wind. Wouldn't want that flag pole fighting back.

... although there might be a fight once Pilgrims Plunge construction moves along. Rumor has it Tony was fussing the other day that the giant lift for the new ride better not block his beautiful star-spangled banners.

Das Boot

That's a little (very little) German for you to start off your weekend with some multi-culturalism.

Das Boot ("the boat") is being constructed in Germany.

Five "Boots," actually.

I'm not sure what the photographer had for breakfast, but he must have been hanging from the rafters to take this one.

At first I kept hitting the little button that turns the photo 90 degrees, trying to figure out the intended angle. After five or six clicks I started getting dizzy.
