The Live E. is one of the things sometimes overlooked a little with all the coasters at CP, but it is every bit of what makes CP the place it is as the Magnum or MF.

Watching some of the shows can be every bit as enjoyable as riding, especially when enjoyed with a beer.

It's good to see that they won the awards, the quality of the entertainment deserves such recognition.

Thanks to the all the Mangers that hired such a wonderful stage crew/techs and performers. Also, everyone that had par take with this years group (choreographer, costume shop, etc..) You all were awsome..;)

Congratulations to everyone involved in the shows. I really enjoyed watching them, over and over, as many times as "front row dude" asked me to take him. You all made an impression on him, and so did the music. He still walks aroiund singing Elvis and Michael Jackson. Thanks for the memories. We look forward to seeing you next summer, or at Thanksgiving.

Mmm... StarStruck!

I can't even count how many times I saw that this summer. The very last show was a sad, sad moment.
