Marquee de Glad
Here's Rick, celebrating spring by finishing up the marquee's rehab.
The lettering and logos are made of alumilite.
There are 32 pieces of lettering and logo parts on each side of the sign.
(Aren't you proud of my self control in not using the subject line "Sign of Spring"?)

Rebel riders
I nearly had a heart attack when I came across this old Santa Claus Land photo.
It was in a folder marked "children's roller coaster." But those boys in the rebel caps don't exactly look buckled in...or even sitting down.
The track in the photo (I've cropped it some) is quite flat. So maybe it's not a coaster, but another type of ride.
Anyone remember?

Will rocks the boat
Starting on his knees, Will takes us through a thorough inspection of the Pilgrims Plunge boat:

Unwrapping a boat

Does this float your boat?
Look what the stork dropped off for us yesterday...
Still in the wrapping paper, just like Christmas morn.
Will and Lisa plan to shoot a video this week to explain how the boats will make it around the ride, how the elevator works, how the boats will decelerate after coming down the chute, and other interesting facts.
And if I know our Will, he'll want to unwrap one of these good ships and try out the front seat.
