When I asked Will to meet up with Lisa and me at Wildebeest at 6:45 Thursday morning for his first news-media Skype interview, he said he'd be there.

When we arrived this morning and I asked him to do the interview from one of the Wildebeest boats, he just laughed.

It sure is nice to have a good-natured boss!

Wildebeest, the world's longest water coaster, opens to the public on May 14.
