If you're mad about the casting agency not wanting people with tattoos or mad that other people are mad that the casting agency doesn't want people with tattoos, please fill out one of these: https://imgur.com/gallery/iqB6y8V and form a line behind the people complain about this ride being too short

I don't think it's about discrimination at all. They just want a 'plain' look for the commercial. Notice how they also want plain but bright shirts. If people have tattoos, then they have to concern themselves with what the tats are. Sure, someone might innocently have the names or birthdays of their kids or something along those lines. What about those with political messages or something that might be offensive to one person or another. They just want as 'clean' a look as possible for the sake of the ads. I don't personally care either way about tats but understand why they want a simple look where nobody stands out and why no tats, no unique hair colors and even just plain colored shirts. They want the ride to stand out, not any one individual.

I don't know how truly large the backlash is but I know on Facebook, a lot of people complained about it. I don't know if anyone truly will no longer go to the park as some form of protest but considering no business wants to risk that, I wouldn't be surprised if they hired actual extras next time or some of the top employees just hand picked people among their friends and family. I don't think cost is really a big issue. I know someone mentioned about the cost of extras but even if it cost them $10,000 or so, it's not really a big cost in the grand scheme of things. Filming the commercial, operating the ride with the associated costs, refreshments and such will cost more than that. I think the park just viewed it doing it this way as part of building up hype and anticipation for the ride.

To lighten the mood, I found it funny on the facebook public group in the comment section about Maxx Force.
Quotes from that post:

"It’s open already"
"no! July 4th"
"yep for blue people"
"those are the seats bud... it doesn't open to public until July 4th"

Than, someone shows a picture of the Blue Man Group.

lol lol

It's not fair!! The avatar people get to ride it to.

^LMAO, I find those replies to be highly entertaining.

Just me after a long day of soccer camp, making some popcorn and just browsing the Facebook comment section. Perfect way to end the day.

CoasterRiderSC, no I really do understand. Again, just like blah over it. I get spoiled living in the city where everyone can be whoever they want, wear what they want etc. I’ll admit that. So while it’s the norm to me, it’s not for so many others. While yes, I have done a couple of these, you have great points - just wish I could Participate again.


Falcon. Stfu. I never once complained about the ride being short & I simply expressed being upset about the change. We sit here & read people complain about everything on here from horrible airtime to hating demon “cause it’s days are up” but I can’t express my views on tattoos?

Really heavy storm had just moved through resulting in a mad exodus as I was coming in.

It looks like there is some sort of spotlight under the barrel roll. Unless that's a light for the launch that'll light up red and green.

Looking good
I noticed depending on where you looking at it from it seems faster somehow. Angle perspective I guess. Trains are launching like maybe 5 mins apart now.

I'm going to be there the 3rd and 4th so hopefully the Membership event falls in there. Since it says season pass holders can "join in" at 5pm, I wonder if it's all day for members?
