Someone being asked to cite a source for a claim they make is picking a fight to you.. It's called trying to get the correct info if possible Sadly, your mentality of people making up their own facts without sources and crying when they are asked, is why this country is in sad shape. It's why people like Donald Trump are a supposed legit candidate while being a pathological liar. T

Like Erik said, it's because people have opinions, and that's a good thing! No one's opinion is "wrong", although you might agree with someone, you at least should try to understand and respect their opinion.
For example, I could not imagine how someone could walk away from Balder and not call it their #1 overall coaster. For me it exceeds everything I look for in a ride. But others were just like "meh...whatever." And that's hard for me to understand, but I have to respect it.
Now keep in mind, this thread isn't about stating opinions on rides, it's about wondering why people have opinions. So please try to keep it on topic!

Wrong. He stated for fact how much the coasters cost and others were wrong. He was simply asked for a source. He couldn't, so he tried to switch the topic and deflect. Read the thread. He could just say..I made up the numbers to be purely contrary b/c I'm obsessed with another poster.

So I was wrong about bbd = Better Business Decisions -- referring to your expertise in running a theme park and how YOU alone can save SF from all their blunderous ways!!
Could bbd = Buy Bigger Designs -- referring to how we 'need' a 20MM coaster ??
Anyone else have guesses?

Still simmering I see from when it was pointed out that SF with 3.5M more visitors produces the same revenue as CF. You had no response then or clearly now after claiming how great their mode was. SF should be way ahead of CF on revenue with 3.5M more visitors. Also, since SF capital investments are way lower, they should be way ahead. Of course the model is to build 7m family coasters and deprive people so much that people like you think they are thrill rides. Also, claiming things that aren't coasters are..ie...superloops.

Cedar Point and Kings Island counts Diskos as coasters...
It's ironic that bbd seems to be so easily offended and triggered, since he used to call people "pearl clutchers" when he was saying under a different name that we would be getting a superloop and knew so from "inside sources".

While not a coaster in an enthusiast mind, Zamperla does market them as such and has them on their coaster section. What is a superloop marketed as by Larson?
As you can see, I clearly provided 2 sources. Not 1, but 2! Now go back to TPR, please.
LOL. You people are hilarious in your angst. I asked what Larson marketed them as, made no claim. You think you proved me wrong when I asked a question? I already knew how Zamperla marketed. Unlike the people here I will ask a question and see the response when I don't know or feel like looking something up. You foolishly think you scored a "point" in your imaginary battle with me. Please see the psychiatrist soon.

I think that's a fair question.............
Unlike people here i have passes at CF ad SF. People are mainly people who never go to another park, thus have no perspective on theme parks. People on here justify SF uninspired decisions by stating the homer, who never goes anywhere is what SF cares about. That's why SF clones low end and inspired rides. That's why with 3.5M more visitors they have the same revenue.
I have both the Six Flags gold pass and Cedar Fair platinum pass. In the past year I have been to Cedar Point, King's Island, Valleyfair, and Michigan's Adventure. The reason Cedar Fair gets more revenue proportional to guests is due to their much worse price gouging, especially at Cedar Point. During hot days in July and August the major coasters are essentially pay per ride since you have to put your drink bottles and any other essentials in an extra charge ride locker. Cedar Fair's price gouging is the stuff of legend.

So, the logic is drink bottle storage cost explains why with 3.5M more visitors SF has the same revenue as CF. Hilarious! CF doesn't give away the farm on season passes. $189 for a platinum pass or $130 regular pass to all CF parks is a reasonable price. SF gives away their Gold Pass(CF equivalent) for pittance. They are leaving tons of money on the table with their pricing, especially the 4+ pricing. CF believes they have a premium product and prices it thus. SF doesn't believe they have a premium product and thus prices it that way. SF is marketing to people who will not go to other SF parks and want to use the park as a babysitter over the summer. CF is targeting more of the enthusiast crowd. That explains not only pricing, but their ride selections.

There are plenty of enthusiasts who don't go to other parks much (Myself included), and just because we don't get around much doesn't mean we have no viewpoint
Honestly, I think the next coaster on the chopping block is V2. And replace it with a Mack pulsar clone, take out the flumes and replace them with a premier launch coaster. I feel like I say this way to much on these forums I'm sorry lol.
Why would Jester go to a scrap heap? It's not nearly as old as orbit. Built in 2004 and looked to be in good shape. It could be relocated or more likely sold to a smaller/family owned park
