Will and William weren't the only Turkey Whirl riders last week.

When asked if he enjoyed that inaugural ride, Will replied proudly, "Yes, I did. I enjoyed the first half tremendously."

Poor Will gets a little woozy. He's more of a coaster guy.

I share Will's ... um, affliction. Which reminds me, thanks to Tori for taking these photos. I was conveniently indisposed during the turkeys' first whirl.

So who did ride?

Let's start with Sean and Nathan. They're two of our Coaster Maintenance crew members.

Next, Roger; he's on the Grounds crew.

Mrs. Koch shares her turkey with Erin and Vanessa, from our Merchandise department.

Painters Matt and Kyle are used to stirring things up.

Joe is our IT manager.

Matt, Dee Ann and April look cold, don't they? I don't think Matt's hood is to keep his ears
warm, though; it's a disguise. He's hoping his two little girls don't find out Daddy already got to ride the new tilt-a-whirl.

Meanwhile, CPR Training for our full-timers was conducted last week.

Jodie, our warehouse manager, needed no convincing to "save" her assistant manager, David.

And here's Rachel "saving" Mrs. Koch.

Our Countdown Clock says 73 days till opening. That news is enough to give any of us heart palpitations.

Thanks to Steven, our marketing coordinator, we have some screen grabs from yesterday's show.

Let's start with the week's exciting theme ... it's Teen Tournament week!

Our category popped up right away, during the first round of Jeopardy.

It took our Teens a while to summon the courage to go to the Theme Park Fun category. They were more comfortable and confident, apparently, with Vice Presidents, Geography, and even Fast Food.

But finally, a rather timid Heidi took the plunge.

"Theme Park Fun for $600."

Huh.

Somewhere along the way, the dollar amounts have been adjusted up.

Back when Art Fleming was running the show (in the ... ugh! ... 1960s) a $600 answer would have been in Double Jeopardy.

Even the Jeopardy board gets a cost of living increase.

And what is that answer, Alex?

Frank from Chicago was quick on his feet and buzzed in right away.

"What is ... Thanksgiving?"

Clever lad. Send him some tickets.

(Actually, I emailed the Jeopardy Question Researcher who has been our liaison and she was pretty sure we couldn't do that, according to Jeopardy Law. Don't mess with Alex.)

Here's the fellow who won:

Stephen clocked out with more than $34,000.

He can buy his own tickets.
