Slight setback, but hopefully they use the extra time to really deliver something memorable.
I understand that scheduling conflicts happen, but this is Carnival we’re talking about. The launch sets the tone for the entire season, so when it gets postponed like this, it does feel a bit disappointing. At the same time, I’d rather they take the extra time and do it properly than rush something that doesn’t reflect the energy Carnival deserves.
Conflict with ABLP rally? Lol
My thoughts exactly……..lmao. The person behind of “Carnival Launch” is the same person behind of the “Big Red Machine Launch.” You can’t make these things up……..these people got guts.
