Sparkler's first spark

Sparkler opens May, 2012This afternoon, Nathan got a call that Sparkler's hydraulic system was about to be tested for the very first time.

He took off like a shot with our video and still cameras.

This video shows early testing, so there's no "swinging" just yet, just "lifting."

Can't wait to see Sparkler in all its (old) glory after dark - the light package on this 65-foot vertical swing ride is just gorgeous!

Measured success

Another opening day is coming to an end. Our 66th. Had fun tweeting about it:

I don't remember the last time we reached 90 degrees on Opening Day (and this is not a reference to Voyage's three sections of 90-degree track!).

Actually it was 92 degrees ..

Speaking of Voyage, this young lady was thrilled to have grown enough over the winter months to take on Raven, Liberty Launch, Legend, and ...

Kimberly

I caught young Kimberly, from Ferdinand, in mid-hop in this photo (or, technically, mid-hop-prep-crouch), but rest assured she hit the 48-inch mark with a tiny bit to spare.

Kimberly was one happy six year old and couldn't wait to ride again.

Here's another tweet from today:

And here's another moment of whimsy (easy for me to say!) from my day:

We enjoyed another day with our Travel Channel crew (the show will air sometime in July - we'll let you know). This tickled me enough to tweet yet again:

We'll do it all again tomorrow ... and then again - on a daily basis - starting Friday.

Thanks, in advance, to all who join us this season for fun and family time.
