Well, I never. I simply can't imagine why ANY of us Trolls™ would do something so uncouth. I mean, really. They train us to hand out flowers, and have tea parties with park guests. It's a common misconception that we're there simply to scare people, hurl insults, and smell bad. In fact, our primary job description is to hand out hugs, offer positive reinforcement, and enourage people to talk about their feelings so they feel better about themselves.

Honestly...I've been doing this show for eleven years now, and you'd be surprised how often we hear things like "You're MEAN!", "That was RUDE!", or ,"You SCARED me!" Our stock response? "DUH! We're TROLLS!"
"You SMELL bad" is one we hear at least 12 times an hour, and it has to be my personal favorite. As if ANYONE running in circles in the sunshine wearing a 50-pound costume consisting mostly of fur and leather is gonna be springtime-fresh after an hour. Can't really be helped. Thankfully, "offensive" is pretty much our middle name, so it works for us.

You've got THAT right, brother. We spend up to 12 hours on our feet during show days, and my dogs are BARKIN' after the first few. Certainly we're not going to ASK for quarters...We're compensated nicely for our work, thanks, and we're hardly looking for your spare change. But if someone comes up to us and offers to drop a quarter in the ol' 'Wootsie'...? Well, NONE of us is gonna say no. Again...We're not looking for your money...But a timely foot massage definitely helps us keep going. A great way to get on a Troll's good side.

In one point of view, I agree with you. Sky Whirl has made a charming Marriott classic to me. It was tranquil to overlook the park and beyond from the birdcages. And, if you haven't noticed, the vine tunnel has fallen into extinction with the Haybaler.
In another point of view, what are you talking about? Deja Vu has been running this year more than it has in 2002 and 2003 combined. Now I don't know why it's not running right now, but overall, it has performed better than it used to.
I don't know. I guess I just prefer both choices. But I understand you can't have both at the same time, in other words, you can't live in two addresses at the same time.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
There are a few reasons why it isnt running. The most obvious, which you should all know. Then a couple of others having to do with the ride status and not being able to operate both technical and parts.
