Gen Cert!

We had a great turnout for Gen Cert tonight, with over 40 people showing up! That's fantastic! After tonight (I'm sitting in the back of the room typing this), we'll have our first group of people ready for ride training!

Speaking of ride training, we're going to start training on rides next week, beginning on Monday, March 16. You'll be notified if and when you need to be here, but we're planning on getting started with training on Mind Eraser and Teacups on Monday; Carousel, Bertie, and Harold on Tuesday; Crime Wave on Wednesday; and Looney Tunes Movie Town on Thursday. By the end of the week, every division besides D2 and D5 will be training.

...Speaking of Division 5--Funtime, the manufacturer of Blitz!, will be here to start certifying site controllers so that we can start training on the ride. We're all pretty excited about that. Opening new rides is always a good time, especially one as cool as the Slingshot.

We're about to begin rolling on Skycoaster training, as well. What does that mean for those of you who are not on the Skycoaster crew? Well, free flights, to put it simply. We need flyers in order to train on the ride, so we generally will let people come up during other ride training sessions to fly once or twice. Keep an ear out for the opportunity to fly while you're here getting trained on your ride!

Construction has begun on some of the "special" elements on Superman. That's all I can say about that. Oh, and one of the trains is here, hiding in the maintenance shop. They're pretty cool looking. That's all I can say about that, too :)

Joker is just about entirely installed and nearly ready to go. It looks great in Nightwing's old spot!

I'll post some pictures of this stuff and more in the coming days. Keep an eye out, and have a Six Flags Day!!
