No sky ride again today?

Why?

Wind?

Staffing?

Mechanical problem?

To annoy guests?

Someone dumped hot cheese into the motor?

I would definitely be asking for a refund. What a way to ruin a perfectly good day. I can't even begin to tell you the trips that have been ruined for our family by this supposedly "world-class" ride not being open on our visits. It's all my kids dream about the night before our big trips, and then we spend all that money to stay in Hotel Breakers only to arrive at the park to see Sky Ride not open....again??!!!

I had a dream. A dream of my family riding in a magical bucket. Suspended above the midway. Children laughing. Memories being made.

The Amazement Park?

More like the Disappointment Park!

I gotta ask, is there a specific story behind this hot cheese in motor question? That seems a bit specific to me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Just Coasting's pass is set to ping Tony Clark's phone every time it scans into the park. Tony then personally drops whatever he is doing (or comes into work if he is home on a day off) to personally make sure Just Coasting does not have a perfect park experience.

Today Tony knew JC wanted to ride SkyRide, and he wasn't going to allow him to have the satisfaction of being whole.

I just have a vivid imagination..... and I like hot cheese for my nachos.

I have a feeling the hot cheese will now be another added to the list of running jokes.

Not unless you make it so.

Ok. I’m gonna go ahead and blame not enough hot cheese for the park forcing us to make a reservation to visit next month.

Why?

Probably a good thing because the weather is looking perfect for the weekend.

The park was able to get more staffing for next weekend.

Why?

Whew! I just checked the live webcam and saw SkyRide standing tall and proud. Also notice the Mac Shack with no hot cheese overflow. Crisis averted, make your reservations.

Even though I haven't gone this season, the Sky Ride is one of the most important things on my itinerary. I always do it both directions to take pictures.

Webcam showed Skyride operating yesterday, surprised me because of the strong north winds.

Anyone know why sky ride is not running today?
