I think the reacher's new location is awesome. He looks like he will be really scary in his new location, the placement is excellent. What does everybody else think of the reacher's new location, and people that have ridden the ride this season, how was the reacher?

I think it's a perfect spot! He really hides well back in that corner, and with his dark clothing, you can't really tell anything is there until he scares you!

Yep, I like the location he's in! I have yet to see how he looks on video or in person, though! The only problem I have is that the arms of the poor fellow might be ripped off quickly... Another issue is that DARN stain on his shirt/pants. I will drive down to the Haunted House and remove that big stain myself! It was very clever to reuse the Witch's mechanism elsewhere in the ride. With this guy going off when riders least expect it, there will definitely be excitement added to an area that was pretty dead before. Not to mention the new pop-up skeleton in the coffin. By the way, did they get him to work yet? There are tons of props to look at in that area.

Like you said HHMacabre, there are a lot of effects to look at in that area, which I think will add to the scare. Riders will probably be looking at something when suddenly the reacher comes out of nowhere! That's an awesome distraction scare!

And speaking of distraction scares, the Devil on the second floor looks like a great distraction for the Leaper! There's so much to look at in the HH this season!

Here is a very dark video of the Reacher in its new location, as well as the new Knit Wit timing!

New Knit Wit timing? YES! They did it! There will be quite a few screams in this area! When the Knit Wit spins around, her head looks like it's going to snap off! If it did, one lucky coffin car would get an extra thrill watching a day-glow head roll past them. It could be the next Headslinger!

Came across this blog while internet searching and was wondering if you might be able to tell me where I can find instructions for putting the bale character together. Any help would be appriciated.

Hi Swanny. So cool you were able to find one of these.
I received your email as well. I will be down this weekend and can try to talk to the management to see if they have any tips. I am shocked it did not come with any documentation. I remember this past winter when we were moving stuff around in there that it required an air line, then it had a small circuit board for the sound, although that might have been added after the fact... I'm not sure. Did yours come with a relay?
It should be pretty straight forward. I will try to see what I can find out. I'll be in touch if I discover anything.

That would be great. Any help would be greatly appriciated and thanks for responding back. I think I have all the pieces but not real sure. Foot pad, some type of circuit board, and a regulator. Not sure if I am supposed to supply my own speaker.
