Does anyone know??

Evidently according to him, it was open and the lights were on. I think he should have gone to Body Wars with a buddy in an effort to operate the ride. One could run the controls while the other had a ride.

    I forget who that person was tho, seems like his name was Dan Young or Dave or something or another.

    Nope - trying to hold off on a springtime visit and pay a few bills instead. I'll be there this December - maybe it'll be running for the holidays.

    And when I went in to the pavilion, and clear into the Buzzy theater, all of the monitors were on. It might have been as easy as pushing a button to start the show. I just didn't have the nerve.
