More Entry Area Fun

So here we are again, waiting for a gap to get in. And for whatever reason Hoot decided to film alot of the wait, which at the time may have seemed odd or even a waste of tape. But now, some 11 years later, I am Happy for every second of video that we have. It really helps me 'go back in time' and relive these awesome adventures we had.

Waiting For The Gap

Here is a short clip to go along with the recent photos that Hoot has been posting. A little exterior shot during the daytime, and then a little bit in the queue area. We are waiting for 'the gap' of course, and as you hear me say, it was usually the only unpleasant part of our adventures. We wanted to get inside the ride, not hang around in the queue area all day. :)

Hoot is showing how we would use the mirrors in the entry hallway to let us know when someone was entering the door. So generally we would be down in the lower part, with myself watching the load belt and counting cars, and Hoot standing in a good spot that he can see the mirrors so he could tell when someone had just walked in the door. If I had counted enough empty cars and there was no one walking in the door, then we would know we had a decent gap of empty cars surrounding us for our ride. Make sense? :)

Anyway, hope everyone has a great labor day weekend, enjoy!
