I drove by last night... HSF is most of the way down, but there are still piles of corn everywhere and the weird wooden box thing you walk through was still up. Also CarnEvil's spinning tunnel is about half taken down.

Drove by again Friday night. It was dark so there wasn't much I could see. But it appears that all of the corn is gone but the wooden box thing and the outhouse from HSF are Still up haha. Also it looks like SV's train is still on the track

2010 Job Info Posted as of January 7th.

[Mangler-Matt]

Some info was spotted on Valleyfair's Facebook Page. Somebody asked if Rudy Coby was coming back & they said:
"Unfortunately, the magic show will not be back for 2010. Instead there will be a musical review show featuring songs from the 60's and 70's."
No more Rudy :(

^ :'( The best show in VF history down the tubes.... sux...

[The Toader]

I thought the show outside the Galaxy was a 70's show? Why have so many "Singing" Shows. I WANT VARIETY!!!

[VF7]

I want puppet boy!

[Neers71]

Puppet Boy stole my heart...

[Mangler-Matt]

I can't hear you Puppet Boy now DANCE DANCE DANCE!
:(

[cyclone-TBRays]

I am probably the only person here who could care less about the shows. They too are too loud and they just get in my way when I am trying to get to the rides.

[vfhauntfreak]

Its a bummer that they are just doing another singing show... they already have a 70's/80's type show literally right across the path from the Galaxy. Though it's not necessarily VF's fault Rudy isn't returning... We don't know if he wanted to come back or not. Like we don't know if VF tried to get him back. It may have been his choice not to return, and then they didn't want to try to find another magician
