Raised on good old-fashioned, All-American values, Kicker and Turner have taken their decades of singing, acting, gymnastics, pagaentry, and dancing lessons and parlayed that into a booming career in some of the biggest theme park venues in the world.
After extended stints at Six Flags over Georgia, Cedar Point, Opryland and (now) Dollywood - Kicker and Turner have become the foremost theme park entertainer celebrities in the country. No genre of music or style of dance seem to elude these 2 sexy and hip good old boys who have been called the "future of family entertainment" by the Coalition Of Christian Knowledge (C.O.C.K.) Famous productions include: "Zip! Zap! Rap! (HipHop through the Ages)" at PlayLand Amusement Park, "Jukebox Jump!" at Six Flags over Georgia, "Stage Fright" for Halloween at Cedar Point, and "Achy Breaky Start: the Early Songs of Billy Ray Cyrus" at Dollywood.

Never have I felt more alive than when I donned my headband and spandex and subbed for these boys. I heart lavish costumes, medlies and audiences that are there to take a break from the rides. Long live Kicker and Turner.
You two make me feel like dancing... Oh wait everything makes me feel like dancing. You cats are super groovey. I am not sure if I speeled groovey correctly. I am a horrible speller. It is a sign of genius...I am told.
I heard this story that one time one of your friends missed a lift, but being a professional, covered it well: (to the tune of "Walkin on Sunshine) "I'm Singin Upside Down...woah!"
