I'll try and answer the nerdy technical stuff...although nerdy park related stuff I would leave for Dustijn, Jenn, or Jeff.

Because you have Eric

Why is Slam Dunk called "Slam Dunk", when in fact, it has zero to do with slam dunking?

Where is the best corndog in the park?

Which bumper car goes the fastest?

Is it true that the head of the Public Relations department has had relations in public before?

Damn right!!

With the other train...still in the maintenance building but i think what im hearing is that it'll be on either late may or early june depending on the money situation.

Prowler crew having Eric and thats why they're awesome...true!!

Best corndog...i wish we had corndogs!! Better go to the quick trip across the highway for that one.

Best bumper car...if i remember from 2007 when i was lead there, it was either the red or blue solid cars that were the best but of course times change so i'll have to test everyone of them when i go out this thursday for fun.

Public relations...haha funny i think all they do is just stay in the office and let the interns do the work or let park operations people deal with all the guest drama

slam dunk...two people...games people...enough said...

why are the bathrooms always wet...

steel · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:17 »

Because they're public restrooms...

silverstreak · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:52 »

i have used other public bathrooms and i dont remember many of them being wet....its just kind of gross...

Prowler182 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:54 »

How many trains has Mamba and Patriot been running lately? Hoping to get in a few rides in June and I know 2 train ops. make things go by so much quicker while waiting in line.

Jason · « **Reply #15 on:** May 18, 2009, 01:57 »

If you go on a weekday your chances of seeing 1 train operation are probably increased significantly.

June through August will probably be 2 train operation on the weekends though.

Prowler182 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2009, 02:11 »

I'm going on a Friday. So odds are Mamba will be a 1 train operation. Lets just hope it keeps a short line. My goal is to ride it a few times.

Because they get cleaned often with a mop and bucket which makes the floors wet.

Trivia question!

How many total winners have there been at 3 Point Challenge since it opened?
(And by that I mean getting all 15 shots in the hoop in under 40 seconds)
(Yes. I know the answer. Hee hee hee!)

Jason · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:22 »

I'm going with 1.

Prowler182 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:22 »

Im gonna say 2?

Swoosh · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2009, 03:48 »

ZERO.

A guy 14 points though

Prowler182 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:59 »

2 Trains on a Monday in May!? Wow am I pysched for my trip now! Lets hope that 2nd Timber Wolf train makes a comeback when I come out there.

Swoosh · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2009, 06:53 »

Hooray for the influx of school kids -- but I am happy for the park getting such a huge spike in attendance this early in the season. I hope that attendance is up for the park this year... that'll make it even harder to sell it.

Ding Ding Ding!
No guest has ever won at 3 point. We will find a champion some day though.
We always give an iPod (Or whatever the prize is this season. I don't work at Games 3 anymore) to the guest who had the highest score of the season.

However, while no guest has ever won, there has been an employee who made all 15 shots in the hoop in under 40 seconds. Of course, this was during a slow day while no one was in line for the game, and the employee didn't get any prize. But he was the only person (That I am aware of) who has ever won the entire game.
True story!

PS: Way to remember your past blog posts, Swooshers!

rcjkochs - Why on earth can't they find a way to keep the Nile water semi-clean? That green smelly stuff is a real turn-off. 'Specially for people that take great pride in smelling nice. >:[

In past seasons, 2 trains on mamba during the week was regular, they would however start out 1 and eventually go up to 2 later in the day during the first week or two of full time, patriot we got two trains all the time except during thrill-u and the last week of full time.

Try smelling your hands after you touch the seat belts.

Is there any Prowler items at games this year? I remember seeing and winning a Patriot Bird back in August last year so curious if any Prowler plushes or something made it to the games yet?

Not this season. At least, not YET, But my Manager has made no mention of Prowler plush items. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
