Happy New Year

Hello Everyone

Sorry it has been a while since my last post, there have been renovations going on in the computer building here so it's been hard to get on a computer. But I'm here now and I can update you on all the stuff thats has been happening.

Hope you all had a great New Years. Mine was pretty sweet. I had to work twelve hours, but I finished up at 8:30, so I spent the rest of the night at Studios. It was absolutely packed. I think someone had said that we were over capacity for the park, so you literally couldn't move very fast at all. They had a big stage set up where bands played and also the worlds most annoying DJ. I also went and saw the Osbourne Spectacle of Dancing Lights for the first time as well. In the backlot section of Studios they have a couple of streets that are supposed to look like streets from New York and San Fransisco. Down these streets are thousands apon thousands of lights that 'dance' to christmas music which is really cool. After this we saw the fireworks display with a couple of the guys from work. This was pretty sweet for the people still working at the ride as the fireworks were going off from the top of our ride, so they had to close it, it remain close for almost an hour after so they could see if all the fireworks had gone off.

This years American College program ended so there was a lot of people from the ride leave. Also my roomates had to leave so I had to move into another apartment. So I am now living with a couple of Brazilians who are really cool, but I think they are leaving in 2 weeks so I'll most probabally be moving again and getting more new roomates.

Working at the Movie Ride has been pretty hectic of the past few weeks. As its the holiday season there are so many people coming into the parks its crazy. I didn't go play in the parks on my days off as I didn't want to have to deal with a load of people. We did break down the other day, our compressor blew again, so we went 101 for 2 hours, it was awesome! Sitting around for 2 hours and getting paid for it is good in my books. I had a guest offer me a tip the other day after riding my show, of course I couldn't take it, but it does give you a nice feeling that they enjoyed my show that much.

Anyway I think thats all the major things that have happened, if I think of anymore I'll update you. Well our 40% discount is back so I'm off to do some major Pirates shopping. Have a good one guys!

PS I'm sure you would have heard of the Tigger incident, yes it happened at my theme park and though I cant really comment about it, it was taken completely out of propotion.
