Looking Back... November 2006

It is always with a bit of hesitation that I post a link to our webcam.
That is, of course, because the view might soon change. Then someone clicking the link later on will see something other that what the post is about, leading to: "What, is she nuts?"
But now that the leaves are mostly off the trees and the footers for Bakuli are going in, there are some interesting goings-on down yonder.

Got glue?
Bakuli is here.
All bazillion pieces.
Good thing we don't have too many employees this time of year, as the parking lot is covered with huge purple, green and yellow pieces.
This one in particular ... don't you think it looks like a cartoon character's mouth ... or beak ... or bill?
And this one ... come on.
It looks like it was left out in the sun or something.
Maybe too close to the heater?
We'll keep an eye on this piece once our crews start assembling this monster.

A sweet new contender in the poll
Did you notice the new drink on the block ...er, Oasis, this summer?
Apparently a lot of folks did, as Orange Gatorade was the #4 most-consumed Free Unlimited Soft Drink here at the park in '06.
In case you've ever wondered, the top three have always been:
1. Pepsi
2. Mt. Dew
3. Dr Pepper
Although Pink Lemonade and Root Beer have always tied for 4th place in the past, the two were bumped to sharing #5 this season.
Orange Gatorade took over the #4 spot.
And if that's not enough to quench your thirst for all things trivial, please note that the missing period following the "Dr" in Dr Pepper is indeed correct. A quick check of their website, however, does not explain the omission.
It does, however, assure the customer that Dr Pepper does not include prune juice.

This is not a political statement
Yes, this is election day. (Please be sure to vote if you're 18 or older.)
It's a total coincidence that we have new Turkey Whirl photos to show this morning.
Yes, some candidates may squeak through on a wing and a prayer today.
Others will be neck and neck until the final precinct checks in tonight.
A few lucky candidates feel confident they have a leg up on the other party.
And no matter what the outcome, we're all pretty thankful to live in a Democracy, right?
This pretty bird will make an appearance next week at the annual trade show for theme parks.
IAAPA's big convention is in Atlanta again this year. Remember this post and photo from last November? That's when we got our first look at one of the trains for The Voyage.
After the convention, the entire flock is expected to arrive here in Santa Claus before the end of the year.
