GAcoaster Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Now that the book is done, we have a couple of other (website related) projects to complete and then we'll be ready to get some new spotlights out! Expect some spotlight updates coming soon as well with some of the great new photos we got while putting the book together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkRider Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm actually eager to see the Employee Uniform one in completion, I think there's a lot of history to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks for all the suggestions. We have many of those "under construction". We will be introducing a whole lineup of new Spotlights in the upcoming days. None of them are major ones, but all are "needed" for bigger and better things to come! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASM Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know it's been said a hundred times, but I want to see a Haunted Castle spotlight. I live in the town that one of the victims lived in, and everyone still wants to know more about what went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 When we do the spotlight, we really won't get into the fire and what happened. We focus on our website and in our books on the happy memories. If you really want to know what happened, all of it is public record from the ensuing trials. I guarantee it's really not that interesting as someone who read them and knew people who were intimately involved with the HC. It was a tragedy that could have been prevented but things fell between the cracks of bureaucracy since it was a unique structure. Laws changed nationwide as a result and the whole theme park industry changed because of it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper26 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Will the spotlight have a little bit about the fire? I know it's been said a hundred times, but I want to see a Haunted Castle spotlight. I live in the town that one of the victims lived in, and everyone still wants to know more about what went down. Which means the town you live is one of two that had a victim. Those are Paterson and Monroe (Gloucester County). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It will be mentioned (we always mention the demise of any attraction), but don't expect pictures of the fire or the aftermath, just the things built on the same spot.

Viper26 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 With spotlights on rides/attractions with incidents, do you always exclude pictures regarding the incident? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunawayArrow Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 ok so I'm being serious with this one I think Roger the Magical Security Guard needs a spot light. Anyone that follows the park probably came in contact with him at one point he did his tricks many time for my family and id like to know more bout him.

Viper26 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 How long was Roger at the park? I first heard of Roger in a YouTube video doing some money trick in 2014 at the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Kaiser Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 He's been there as long as I can remember, though I feel like I didn't see him for a few years. He's definitely back again, though. (And hopefully for this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC98 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Since there was a Skull Mountain original queue spotlight, I'd be interested in a Kingda Ka original queue spotlight. You can still see where it used to extend when you turn to enter the switchbacks and I've always been curious about how it used to be.
