8/23/10 Sandusky, Ohio; Buena Park, CA. Looks like both Cedar Point and Knott's Berry Farm will be getting a Star Flyer type ride for 2011. It's basically a giant carousel type swing without the swivel. The swing will take you high above than any swing has gone before. There is, however, a patent issue concerning the ride. An Australian company called Funtime Group vs. a company from the Netherlands, Funtime Group claims to hold the patent. Blah, blah, blah. Who wants a giant friggin' swing anyway?

7/08/10 Sandusky, Ohio. A fire broke out in a maintenance building at Cedar Point yesterday injuring 3 firefighters. 2 from heat exhaustion and 1 from a falling ladder. 3 rides were shut down including the Corkscrew. No word on the cause of the fire.

4/20/2010 Valencia, CA. since Six Flags has put their new "secret" character on facebook, I'm now allowed to share. Here is Lil' Six!

8/19/10 Anaheim, CA. A drunk dumbass fell over 20 feet while waiting in line for The Tower Of Terror ride at Disney's California Adventure Park. He had climbed over the railing and was joking about falling and he did. He was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital. This guy is the "Official Whiteknuckle Dumbass of the Month." We Salute you.

8/19/10 Anaheim, CA. A Muslim restaurant employee was sent home for wearing her head scarf, which, is not part of her costume. She was told to remove it or go home. She returned to work the next two days with the same result. Basically the Disney position is this: If you work around the public you are on stage, you have to wear the costume the way they want, if not, you work away from the guest and the head garb is ok. They really believe since she has been working there for two years and not worn the scarf then this is a ploy by the union which Disney is in contract negotiations with.

5/12/10 New York, NY. Six Flags announces They Have A new interim CEO, Al Webber, The Former CEO of Paramount Parks. What happened to Mark Shapiro, you may ask? I don't know. All that is being said is, he's no longer with the company. Al Webber was with Paramount Parks during the final dark years before they sold to Cedar Fair. All I know is, I hope he doesn't destroy what's left of the theming of the Six Flags Parks. We all know the damage that Six Flags has done to itself in the late 90's.

1/29/2010 Anaheim, CA. The Tower of Terror in Disney's California Adventure seems to be the best ride to get to 2nd base. Anaheim police are looking for a man who grabbed a woman's boob during the ride, then fled when the ride let out. Police are hoping the on-ride photo and surveillance cameras might help point out the perp. I have only one question. Is this really worth pursuing? I mean did it really hurt? Is it worth the police effort?
