Beckers 1,136 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 What a bummer it expires like 3 days before my parents go down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 We did it with a groupon in April and enjoyed it. It's not something I'd do several times, but it's definitely worth doing once. Night was really cool, but the pictures aren't great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd rather have my fingernails yanked out by rusty pliers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 We've done this on a clear, calm day and it was pretty cool. You really could see for many miles. I'd still like to time this to go at night when fireworks were going on - ideally when MK and EP are running at the same time. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
