The winners will be announced at Snoogal's B-Day Bash on Tuesday night! Snoogals wanted to partake in some of the scavenger hunt festivities, but after breaking our park policy and attempting to jump the fence at Pandemonium we decided Snoogals could not participate.

Well that is all for this week's blog! We hope you all come to Snoogals' Birthday Bash this Tuesday night at 9:00pm in the Rockville area! There will be food, fun, memories, and PINATAS!!!!

OMGZ THIS BLOG IS STILL AROUND?

Oh geez. Oh gosh. Oh man.

We would like to apologize because it's been around a month since we've had a glamorous admissions blog entry. We've been very busy this summer! From the tolls in the parking lot, to the ticket booths, processing season passes, and our guest relations office we have all be keeping very busy! We are going to continue with our Admissions Leader of the week phenomenon with our Lead Nate! Here are some pictures of Nate hard at work in the Admissions department:







Nate’s most favorite food to eat is sushi and he loves to eat it during his fav show CSI:NY. His favorite book is Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince. He is going to school in hopes of one day being in the C.I.A. he gets the most enjoyment out of his homeland security class. When it comes to SFNE Nate loves to ride the Bizarro coaster and his favorite character is Bugs Bunny! He likes to run all the different areas in Admissions. Nate has worked in Admissions for 3 seasons and this is his first as a Lead. His favorite band is Cobra Starship (SAY WHAT? What a coincidence! That is also Snoogals’s favorite band!) His song of the moment is New Divide by Linkin Park. His favorite animal is a panda, although he is a huge fan of lemurs! Nate has a good handful of guest compliments & does awesome on all his Guest Service Audits! Keep up the good work Nate, WE APPRECIATE YOU!


OMG! LEMUR DOWN! LEMUR DOWN!

WHEW! Thanks Nate! We almost had to call first aid there for a second!

This week GR had a glamorous intern visiting. His name was Ned and he was amazing! He handled guest concerns great and even got the team members bumped up for work! He was allowed to be outside of grooming guidelines because, well, his clothes were sewn onto him. It caused quite a scandal! Ned will truly be missed and we want to wish him all the best of luck! Last we heard he was planning on hanging out in some gardens with some pink flamingos. Here is a picture of Ned & GR attendant Melissa:



The Admissions PIE ME! event has come and passed. It was fun for all who came! There was pizza, soda, and of course pie! We want to close out this week's blog with a picture of our Full Time Supervisor Sara about to get pied!

Well that is all for this weeks edition of the Admissions Blog! We will make a sincere effort to update the blog every week! Check back next time ya'll!
