There are 25 days till opening day!
I am so ready to be back at the City working.  It has been a long 3 month vacation and to say that I'm excited is an understatement! Who would have thought I'd be excited to go back there??? With any luck I'll also be going back knowing that I have a teaching job for the 09-10 school year.

SO... any of you out there PUMPED up for a new SDC season?

I cannot wait to get on the giant swing... seriously the first moment i have free and that thing is running... i'm off to hop on!  I love that thing... I wish kodak would rig up some cameras for that ride... i told them how to do it.. lol they just need to follow my instructions.....

I'm excited for the new season, and also think that cameras on the Giant Swing is a good idea!

I hope there's some news come fall, at the latest, about RiverBlast.

I am so pumped as well. I have been looking forward to this season more than any I can remember. Mainly from this site keeping me up to date with the park during the off season, and from all my recent paintings, I just cannot stop thinking about SDC! Unfortunately my Spring break is the week before opening day (March 16-20 really isn't Spring-Break to me, more like Almost Spring Break!) But hopefully I'll make it down in March before Worldfest Begins.

We'll be there the minute the gates open, I'm trying to convince my fiance to camp out with me in front of the turnstiles.

My 2 kids and I will be there when the gates open.  We all need to meet up and go on some rides together.

That would be great, I'm going to buy an SDC fans tee-shirt just for the opening day!

^Lol, if you want to, the store is still up here: http://www.zazzle.com/steveissuperman

None of the shirts really turn out all that great, from what I can tell. I've tried out the grunge 'tombstone' design with a dark brown American Apparel shirt, and it was OK. The design isn't quite as crisp as I had hoped, but the shirt is nice and soft, and doesn't fade too badly in the wash.
I plan to make some new designs soon and put the shop back on the site.

Back on topic though, I won't be around for opening day. I'm really trying to cut back on spending right now, plus I'm pretty sure my spring break week will be jammed with stuff already. I hope to get down there early in the summer.

Hope you guys have fun. Hey, if all of you guys snap a few shots here and there, we could make a big SDCFans opening week collage or something. It'd be good to have a few fresh photos on the site.

Is there some doubt there?  Just curious by the way your worded it -- is this your first year or something?

NO! not those two kids! lol
I think I wanted to toss them over the gulf of doom.. they were so noisy.. lol hahaha
just kidding.. i'd have just left them somewhere.. i wouldn't push them over .. ahahhahahah

[marolinesdad]

I think my 5 year old was trying to give the tour..   And remember we had s rabbit waiting for us at the cave desk.

[SteamFreak]

The gulf of doom...that tickled me for some reason. What a great punishment/chacter builder, leave your kid in the cave...then kill the lights.

[marolinesdad]

Mine have been down there so many times they would find their way out.

[Swoosh]

Well we won't be there on "Opening Day" -- I have Parent/Teacher Conferences that day -- we plan on being there on that Friday or Saturday... leaning more towards that Friday.

I was reading through general sdc talk on the winter work and the comment about the cave maybe giving tickets out to guests interested in taking tours is false. Tours have always been first come first serve and the only tour you can reserve is the lantern tour which also has an extra fee. We are all Looking forward to the new season everyone should take the lantern tour because we are opening a new trail that hasn't been open to the general public in 40 years.

TuckerB... I've been told by the Cave Lead that tickets are a NO! and that it's going to be a first come first served line again.  And she did confirm that tickets were used as a system of giving out tour spots... i need to talk to her this weekend and see when that was...


For everyone else... 25 days has dwindled down to 14! 
Orientation this weekend... I'm sure we'll hear some news about our future....
Cave training and re certification next weekend and then 4 days later opening day... it seems my vacation has come to an end!
