Um, let me see...I think it was something between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. Yes, I think that's when I did it because I remember leaving the park at 6:00 for dinner.

OHHHHH, that bridge.....that thing used to get us stuck almost every night while trying to clear the park...that was my job...to make sure all day guests were out of epcot...but that bridge...no fail would be up by the time we got to it....but the guy runnin it was cool so we didnt mind much..just hindered the movement of guests out of the park....and it depends daily when that bridge goes up due to firework crew not having prblms and what not, ive seen it raised around 6ish for the globe, and around noonish-1ish for the different barges...hope that helps

I was working MK when flying Tinkerbell first came to be. You would be impressed to know how much reinforcement steel had to be installed inside the castle to support that clothesline. Not feasible to raise and lower it daily.
Also, Tinkerbell has helpers to watch over her at the end of her flight, or at least she did when I knew something about it. She's not George of the Jungle out there, you know.
I don't know what I think of the proposal to make Tinkerbell more a part of the fireworks show. I like her starting it off and then letting the focus shift to the pyrotechnics and music that can be enjoyed in many areas of the park, and even the resort areas outside the park where Tinkerbell's flight cannot be seen. I guess I can keep an open mind to the possibility that it might be a very good thing.

Pay It Upward
Tink currently gets a $100 bonus each night that she does the flight and "misses" her primary landing zone. Actually, it's not so much a "bonus" as it is stunt/hazard pay. I wonder if she (they) ever "go long" on purpose...?
