For the GP, RB and S;UF are thrill "machines".
As if we needed more of those.  "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Sarcasm.
It's just a way to get more cash out of folks. Pick the right days to go and I easily rode Batman 5x in a row.
Why don't they add HH slides like the Tornado into the mix as well? It may be worth it if a can get a lot of slides in the morning and get to all the coasters in the afternoon and evening in one day.
I think the problem is that creating waterproof devices, and/or doing it efficiently without creating a capacity problem.
Also as of yesterday, the tree on A.E. was down, and in the morning when it was still somewhat dark out, all the lights in the park were on, including A.e.'s station lights. Today, the tree of lights on STT was down, and the cabin was down again. I can't tell if they started farmers market---- CF food court I mean but the should soon. Facebook really needs to update their pictures soon!
Sarcasm is the protest of those who are weak.
Premium flashpass another bad idea that will cause alot of resentment of guests if they sell enough of them. Especially for rides like RB with 4 across seating if one person with the pass displaces a family/group of 4 waiting to ride.
Management needs to learn that you can increase revenue by not screwing your guests for the cost of everything in the park. As stated before if you visit on the right dates and times you can avoid alot of lines, and then spend as little money as possible in the park to show your displeasure with park policies.
^Could easily be done by raising the season pass price, which is what they should do.
^Sorry. I don't want to pay more than I have to. That is just stupid. i'd take more people, over higher prices.
Just had a thought, wonder if there is going to be a dedicated flashpass row on each coaster like some other parks have. That would solve the problem of PO'd people waiting in line to ride with a large group just to find out someone has the platnum flashpass.

^I believe Demon did that last season
Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

I would make seance from the non-FP people. However, I could see that killing sales on the FP. I'm not sure how many people will drop $80 plus to ride row 3-6 on most coasters.
Am i the only one seeing this capacity nightmare?
The bat-clone at SFFT, the dedicated FP row is Row 1. (not sure if it still is, but i know back when it opened it was)

^See, that would just piss off guest without the FP. It's one thing to do it like Raging Bull where you can choose to do the front row or Demon, where the rows are dedicated in the middle. It's a whole other ball game to take away the front from a majority of guest who are willing to wait.
This totally sucks donkey balls, the lines are horrendously long as it is why introduce something like this?? Who is gonna pay 54.99 for one day admission then shell out another 80.00?? Maybe if they had more cars and trains running and all seats working (Ricochet has had 2 missing seats for like 2 years) maybe the lines would not be so bad, speaking of which why the hell dont they have more rafts on Roarin Rapids and more Logs and Boats on the water rides?!?!?!? does this piss the hell outta anyone else???
Maybe that's what makes the value of the Season Pass seem better? You are right, no one in the right mind would buy a Plat. FP for 80+ dollars when they came in on a one-day admission....But Season Pass Holders and ACE'ers will be all over them.

The audience is rich families and teens/kids who parents pay for everything.
Today I went past and saw the A.E. cars back out in the morning. In the afternoon, I saw a crane (same one used on BB i think) (the tan one with balck writing)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp_g_PhWQYQ by the trunk of GD.Loadin cars on probably...
I went to the park on the 19th and made a video in the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_BPbHM4RZs
How are Giant Drop's cars loaded anyways?
pieces of the rail come out and the cars come off that way. Unless there was some sort of major refurb I don't think they normally take the cars off of drop though.

today the same crane was over the demon corkscrews it looked like
Are you sure it wasn't near Whizzer? It's about time they start putting some of the track back.
^ WHAT THE _________ are you talking about?
