Greetings Programs!
As you can see Tron has finally come to VMK. A few months ago we previewed two Tron costumes and the feedback was phenomenal! You asked for more and here it is. September is Tron month and we're so excited we've created Tron games, Quests and other Tron related events.
Ok, so you might be thinking "isn't Tron that old movie from the 80's? Why is VMK making such a big deal about Tron?" Well, because of what Tron is... it's the story of a game designer/programmer who gets sucked into a video game - and not just any game, a game he created!
It's also one of the first movies to use CG (computer generated graphics) and was a major influence for John Lasseter of Pixar. Plus, over the last few years there has been a rebirth of Tron, with the release of an XBOX and Gameboy Advance game as well as the character making an appearance in the PlayStation 2 game, Kingdom Hearts 2. Last but not least the VMK development team are all huge fans of the movie and have waited for over a year to bring it into VMK.
Tron not your thing? Then keep your eyes open for a brand new game based on the Disney water parks. I'd also start saving those credits... with Halloween fast approaching you never know what costumes may be on sale again, or for the first time ever.
Thanks for playing and see you in VMK,

9/5 Rare of Medium Rare? I've received lots of comments from last weekend's pin event that the Inner Space Pin was too difficult to get... and therefore too rare. On the other hand, there isn't a day that goes by when we aren't asked by players to not re-release rare items that were sold or awarded previously. There's a fine line between rare and medium rare items and we're always trying find a middle ground that pleases everyone. Do we keep the rare items rare... or should we bring them back? This is something we debate all the time here at VMK Headquarters.
What do you think? Vote now in this weeks poll. Depending on your responses, some items may be back, or not. Will Stitch Hats and Green Flips ever go on sale in the Emporium? Don't hold your breath!
Water Park Puzzles & More Tron!
Did you get a chance to "preview" the new Water Park Puzzle Games? Very soon you'll be able to play both of these games to win the Up and Down Water Slides. How do you win those items? All I can say is that both game modes (Free Play and Puzzle) require that you reach a specific level and score.
Also this week the Red and Yellow Tron Tank Chairs will be on sale. And don't forget to check the Emporium on Friday for a new pin... That's all for now, stay tuned more inside info in the coming weeks...
