CLASS OF ‘99 PRE-SHOW P.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS, TWO PRINCIPALS & MORE Cedar Point 2024 @amusement420

I LOVE the way they can make changes in less than a day. People just jump in and out of rolls depending on if someone is sick. They are truly professionals.

It's also fun seeing performers play different characters during HalloWeekends. I can picture the regular Principal doing her Purple Witch cackle when they do the He-Man vs Skeletor bit. When a show starts late "due to technical difficulties" PSA outside the door, I think they had to rehearse it since it's not something they do every day depending on who's out, unless it's the understudy Principal. I put her in two other videos, one to document a full show, the other to play around with the camera, which the zoomed-in clip that's in this video is from, I liked seeing 'Shriek' on the card and his costume is rather elaborate. I should have recorded the announcement outside the theatre. When I do edits like this, there's things that I leave out that are cool in and of themselves but don't fit when I watch it fwiw. These are fun to do once in awhile like '23 Shrieks, '08 Backstage & Drum Cams, '22 & '23 All Four Wake the Dead Murders, '23 Summerbration Three POV's in one, and '21 HalloWeekends Banished Backstory. I wouldn't have done this video if it weren't for the P.A. Announcements, set design & video boards. The first P.A. I had to try four times since it's noisy when people are walking in, and the handicap scooters would be beeping backwards lol As a bonus though, my friend and long-time show-goer & Live E! supporter since 1989 is on his scooter entering in one of the clips, when they name drop the Live E! supervisor's name who he knows well. In the Understudy Principal wide shot video, I got up and moved from the right to the left side after the opener, since a tall audience member was sitting in his scooter. (I hurt my leg a few weeks ago and could barely walk, so I can sort of appreciate what they must go through). To that tangental point (I like to go off on tangents as we know!), I got you "photo-bombing" the Boardwalk Nights Hand Balancing Duo act on the float hahah You walk past it (not Vlogging!) towards the Grand Pavilion, then walk past it at the end of the show with a drink your hand. I would have been disappointed if you didn't! I have a ton of videos to do, I'm uploading each show/act separately, I'll alert you to that one. (I have a fun clip after the first parade, they couldn't turn the Antique car so they had to lift the front bumper up lol). It reminds me of when people used to walk in front of a Red Garter show, even when the singers were on the floor in front of the stage, to get to the restrooms in the front left corner. They closed them because they couldn't make them ADA accessible. (there's always been bigger ones in the outside). They just completely ignored the loud singing & dancing. I also got you walking past (not in front of) the Swing Dance float waving to them before the performance (The Rally Dancers can reeally swing dance, and the musicians can show us what else they can do to your point of being versatile) lt was great weather for the two Boardwalk Nights I've been to (it does backlight some shots and the entire Strike Up the Band show). CP did a good job combining the repurposed parade floats, a night stage show and the previous beach Cedar Point Nights. It's interesting how much they used video boards in Class of '99 like they did on the main stage night shows. We've come to expect high-quality productions all of the shows.

I realized yesterday the Principal should say: "Gasoline not included." instead of "Parking not included."

Lots of Easter eggs in the announcements and design!
