    I understand that, but issues will always present themselves when something new rolls out.  In this case, either the small minority that has gone to Knott's over the last two months have not had an issue or they did not speak out about it.

     

    All Parks Passports have been out for over 6 months, not just 2.  Great that it's fixed, but shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.  That's all I'm saying.  Just typical poor training.

    Although I do suspect it was the employees working at the time not being aware of policies.  All Parks Passport worked fine last season at non home parks.

    Knotts is the only park open this year. 

     

    All of the parks were open when the passes went on sale.  They've had nearly 7 months of these passes being in the wild and things like parking are still (or were) being screwed up? 

    It's exhausting for the customer to guess what will actually work or be may be granted now days. It's exhausting fighting all the time just to get what you paid for.  It's the nature of The Beast and seasonal workers, etc. I get it. But supervisors should know what's going on and be able to handle this without another park calling them, etc.

    Here's a good one.  With the new pass structure, I wonder when/if they will start having pass processing days prior to opening day?  I certainly hope that A)They do that as they did in the days of new passes/photos every year or B)Have gate central set up in a manner that will allow current passes to be used once before having to get the new card/photo to avoid Hella long waits at processing on preview day.

    There is no processing center.  It's all done at the turnstile.  Takes a few second to snap a pic, scan a card and hand it to the guest.

  4. More parks (Hershey, SEAS) are moving to a tiered rewards system for X numbers of visits.  They need to send perks to folks that don't visit and create a reward system based on number of visits for freq visitors.  Also keeps people engaged and active on social media even if they are just trying to understand the rewards or showing off what they have earned.

  5. Glad they made 2 home park dining plans and 2 all parks dining plans that are the same price and work exactly the same.  No way those could have been combined into 2 products.  Then, cut the petty $19 to use it other places and you really start making things simple.  

     

  6. Changing to 5, once a day, skip the line passes seems brutal for folks accustomed to the free FL wristband.  I always visit once in the fall to take advantage of that. Good chance that doesn't happen now.

    I had a friend that asked me about this: they got a Facebook ad for the BAF promotion and an email blast advertising a different price. This is all in the Cincy market. Has anyone else seen this? 

    2 different promo emails were sent.  Daily tickets for $39.99.  BAF are $29.99.  Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason which promo email people received.  Doesn't matter, no special link or code is needed; both currently available on their site.

    I saw today that single use FL were for sale. Today was a busy Saturday and Orion cost $15 and Flight of Fear cost a whopping $20. I also saw people queuing to buy the single use FL. In comparison all day FL was $135.

     Earlier, during the week, it was $5 for Orion, $7.50 for FOF.

  9. I can see that point of view.  I like the teamwork it takes to unlock things, etc.  I like the leaderboard outside and shooting for maxing it out. 

    But yes, it's a glorified video game.  Just well done for a park shooter, has personality, and is bright.  It's also fun for a group of people together. 

    Curious what this walking Minions thing ends up being at Universal.  Guessing it's strictly screens and more Cupfusion like than MIB.

  10. 2 great shooters out there, IMO. Cupfusion at Hershey and MIB at Universal. Both of these have a potential max score. Both are great rides. Cardboard blacklight cutouts are certainly dated.  I like Toy Story and have it in tier 2. 

    Both hold a good line and keep people occupied. Once you're hooked, you have to keep riding until you max out. 

     

  11. Made my first ever visit to Winterfest on Dec 30.  Wife and I had a great time.  Watched most of the shows, saw the animals, had dinner, and walked around.  Nice evening.  Parade had to stop midway due to rain but we got to see all the groups.  Got lucky with light crowds after the day before was slammed.

    Park looked really nice with all the lights and decorations.
