Final exams

Am I the only adult who breathes a sigh of relief every May that I don't have to take final exams?

I didn't think so.

But testing, of course, is important.

...especially when it's a brand new design for a brand new coaster train.

Here's a gander at one of the new Timberliner train for The Voyage, still in testing mode:


Since the Timberliners are still in testing mode for a few more weeks, we developed a "Plan B" to help with capacity issues. Here's Will to explain what we're up to:

Meanwhile, both parks are now open daily. And we give that report an A+.

An apPEELing Mother's Day visit

Stacie and her family visited on Mother's Day. The kiddos won prizes.

All five of them.

And as busy as she must be (I'll say it -- it must be bananas around her house some days!), Stacie took the time to email us a sweet note and this photo.

Stacie's kids go bananas!

The Beachcombers start rehearsing

These musicians just met last night for their first rehearsal and already they seem to be "finding their vibe." (That's a phrase I learned when I sneaked in today to catch a bit of their act on video.)

The good folks from Matt Davenport Productions are here coaching this fab four as they become our Beachcombers.

They'll perform daily except Wednesdays all season at Splashin' Safari.

(We should add this to Will's station announcement at The Voyage: "Don't underestimate the Force.")

"May the 4th be with you!"
