Great job with the Podcast Jim!

I always enjoyed talking with you at Spring Fling when you were at Six Flags Over Georgia and I'm sure you'll do a great job here too now that you've been around for about a year.

Looking forward to the next Podcast.

I've been waiting for a podcast. It's too bad I can't subscribe on iTunes until I get my new computer. Looking forward to listening. :)

Really good podcast, it's nice to get those interviews with the people who really know whats going on. I had no idea that so many new stages were going in next year. Good work!!!

Thanks for taking the time to put together that podcast. It was well done, interesting, and informative.

If you happen to read this and know off of the top of your head, do you have any idea what new projection system will be used this year in the pictorium, and if you do, do you know if it will be able to fill the entire screen - or at least come really close to doing it? Last year, my friends and I were extremely disappointed at the loss of the IMAX, and with it, the loss of the use of a lot of the screen. If you have a screen as large as you do in the pictorium, it would seem to be a waste to not fill the entire thing up.

Just my $0.02. :)

I've heard that haunted castle will return this year...I don't remember where but that could mean that it may be a larger projection system then before...but don't quote me on that.

I heard that last year they were using a temporary projection system until the new company could build one that worked with the screen. I think this year they got the custom projector to match the screen.

You should make a podcast of the ways the majority of employees are treated and what really goes on behind what most guests know........


Good job though with this one! :)

I listened to the podcast today and liked it a lot. Good stuff about plants and unknowns about the park. The trivia question was pretty easy but I love the fact that it was there, and the prize sounded cool too!

I agree with woodland. The podcast was good. I knew many of the unknown facts, and the trivia question. I didn't submit it though. I really like these podcasts a lot. It's fun to hear someone who is offically from the park giving out information rather than having to hear speculation half the time :lol:
