They updated the Polar Pathway show. It's actually really good now... lighting is nice, transitions aren't bad. A million times better than before. I'll link a video when I can

Update: They have three shows that run in rotation. One is the horrible one with bad transitions and poor lighting effects, one is the one I discussed above, and one is a fully orchestral one seemingly recorded specifically for the show, not to mention fantastic lighting. I don't understand why they don't just run the orchestral one, it beats the other two by miles and miles

I don't know, but I'll link all three shows once they're uploaded. Transfering from my camera to PC now.

Edit: Evidently it's a VERY large file, its been an hour and its still not even on my PC

^Version 1, the one I've seen most often and the same one run last season. Awful show. (filmed 11/24)

^Version 3, by far the greatest version of the show with an original orchestral soundtrack. (filmed 12/25)

Unfortunately I can't particularly enjoy the 3rd show, and while the soundtrack's improved, it's riddled with the same geometric commercialism and just a general lack of charm that's present throughout the rest of Christmas Town. I would like to see the whole thing look like the splash pad, or better yet, just stop caring about how it looks for the "show". It should be a nice light feature, not some random line projections that everyone lines up at random times for because they see there will be a "spectacle of lights" at said random time.

I don't know where else to post this since I cant find the general discussion but I just gotta say, I have no idea what Busch is telling these new hires about checking restrains but excuse my french. I have never been so incredibly stapled on a ride till finnegans tonight. Jesus FUCK it was bad. Dude comes around and just slamed it on me so bad and I groan and hes like "are you good" im like no not really dude, Ive been on this like 20 times and never been this bad and all he says is "gotta make sure youre safe" twice and walks off. My legs lost some circulation by the time I got off.

Same for lochness for my wife, dude takes his sweet ass time slamming the entire right trains harness down. Destroying my wifes boobs for 0 god damn reason.

I will say though that ride was the best lochness ride yet. I won't shit on it to much no more.

I cant imagine today. I went last night and actually thought it wouldnt be that baf based on the parking lot but Alpengeist had a god damn 40min wait, food lines were insane. Weird how the parking lot seemed less busy than the last 3 times I went but the lines were 3x longer.

FWIW, when I was there yesterday they had Ambassadors directing people into parking spots so if anything there was less stupidity of people finding spots because they were being told where to park

Do we think the coasters will be open today?

Temps should be high enough for them to run for a while but everything but Darkoaster will likely close by dark.
