It is one of the COOLEST rides I have ever been on.  On Friday, Holiday World and Splashin' Safari unveiled their brand new water coaster, MAMMOTH, and it is an instant hit.  Yesterday, I headed to Holiday World to broadcast live and got the chance to experience MAMMOTH for the first time.  It was flipping awesome and I got drenched from head to toe.  You guys have to check out this brand new attraction, billed as "the world's largest water coaster."  And, this week on WBKR, you can win tickets to the park in our MAMMOTH giveaway that'll give you the chance to do just that!

I had a great-aunt who owned a Mercury Montego. She loved it. I thought it was cool, too. Good thing; it's the closest I've ever come to Montego Bay in Jamaica. But after a little research, I'd be crazy not to attempt to end that drought.

The biggest film of 1997 is hitting theatres again today.  And this time, Titanic will be shown in 3D.  I wasn't necessarily interested in the seeing the movie again.  I liked it an all the first time, but I don't normally devote 3 hours and 17 minutes to the same thing twice.  But, recently, after visiting Titanic Pigeon Forge, I completely changed my tune.  After boarding the Titanic and experiencing its wonder myself, I can't wait to step into the theatre and relive one of the greatest tragedies of modern times.  Titanic may have hit an iceberg and sunk in the early morning hours of April 15th, 1912, but the ship, her spirit and the memory of her passengers are alive and well.  And, I want to take time to honor one of them here at WBKR.com.  His name is Alfred Pugh.  And, when I visited Titanic a couple of weeks ago, I came to know Alfred very well.

I'm so excited about Opry Mills in Nashville re-opening! Can't believe it's been almost 2 years since the big flood took place in May of 2010. A lot of us had to rebuild our communities due to high flood waters and just like Nashville it took a lot of man hours and help from everyone, including country music stars doing what they could to help out.

I've always loved traveling to Nashville and seeing all the great country music attractions and shows. I try to make a trip there at least once a year if possible. Country music star Pam Tillis will be there to sing the National Anthem and help kick off the Grand Re-opening.  Josh Turner will be there May 4th & 5th for a free concert there as well. Tennessee’s largest outlet is back & better than ever, welcome back Opry Mills!
