Maelstrom? I've been three times and never heard of that. D: What kind of ride/attraction was it?

Scary, but realy good!

I'd love to be a show programmer. But I heard you have to study and know exactly how the puppets work before you're even considered. Doesn't look like it takes much knowledge of the actual figures.

*Jack Benny pose* "Now, CUT THAT OUT!"

Well, that was certainly the last thing I'd expect. Good to see Jack's spirit lives on.
