Just got home a few hours ago. Had a blast! Here are a couple of notable things that happened today.

* Someone from Wisconsin drove a hearse to the park today. It was pretty sweet. Did any of you see it? I parked right next to it! :D

* The theming and atmosphere really put you in the Halloween spirit. Great job Six Flags

* Professor Humely showed me a trick involving a one dollar bill......

* The trolls are awesome! I enjoyed watching a 10 yr old kid do jumping jacks after spitting on one of the trolls. It was hilarious!

* Superstition with Elvira was cool. The 3-D flick was ok.

In summary, I had a great time! I hope all of you that went had as much fun as I did. Till next weekend....

Ha. Haha. Yeah. That's one of the new ways we've come up with to handle the less-serious incidences of confrontational behavior on the part of park guests. I mean, if you haul off and seriously hit or kick us (which still happens a lot - I was kicked very hard today by a guest), you'll still be dealt with by park security. But if someone pulls a shove or a body-check...Well, that person may just find that the troll they nailed has gone drill sergeant on them, and ordered up some impromptu calisthenics as punishment. Push-ups have been very popular.

But I remember that kid in particular. Poot made him do jumping jacks while asking him questions.

"Why are you doing jumping jacks?"
"Because I spit on a troll!"
"And why did you spit on a troll?"
"Because I'm a bonehead!"
"And what should all these people understand?"
"I'm being made an example of!"
"Very good. Just twenty more, and you're free to go."

Just goes to show ya...hitting a park character = Never a good idea. At worst, you may get tossed out and have your pass pulled. At BEST, you may find yourself pushing pavement. So spread the word: Don't chance it. :)

About the 3d show. I found it to be terrible. The only good thing that I found about it was that it was 3d. Besides that, the storyline seemed terrible, and it felt to me like they did not explain to many things. This is just my opinion though.

I took pictures of him doing the jumping jacks. That kid seemed a little scared and had quite a crowd around him. As Bugs would say "What a maroon". I also liked how you guys wouldn't let me get a picture:

"I want to take a picture of you"
"I don't have a picture to give you"
"No, I want to capture a picture of you"
"I don't want to be captured"

That was great! :D

Keep up the great work trolls! Seya on Sunday!

I didn't understand the plot of the 3D movie either. Something about a guitar I guess or something. The 3D effects were identical to Walt Disney MGM Studios 3D muppet show.

I think he wanted to be a artist and the ghost was trying to make him come with them and they will make him a star but his mom who was dead said don't listem to them if you go with them it won't be good so he threw i think his guitar in the fire and then the movie showed him with his band in their first concert.
