  1. "The Boyz Are Back" (boy band show in Festhaus)

    *Facepalm*

    Nemo isn't the only person who has an axe to grind...

    It goes without saying that the shows in the current Cedar Fair era just aren't the same as they used to be a long time ago. Shows like "Superstars" (pre-Paramount) and "Forbidden Magic" (Paramount) had a certain finesse and character to them; You expected them to be good and they were. It's nice to change things up with shows like Ed Alonzo's, but these musical revues are just tiring and blurring together.

  2. "No more lasers?" Ok, what'd I miss? Are lasers really so ubiquitous now that everyone would be "ho-hum" about them? Sheesh. :unsure:

    Oh, wait: I get it. Other, "better" amusement parks have already done the laser thing to death... I see. Nothing left to imagine, I guess.

    -Tb, googling quadrotor light shows...

    Have you walked through Nightmare Alley/Freak Street? I prefer to call it Lasik Alley, what with all those lasers pointed at my face.

    So, yeah. I do think they're a bit "ho-hum" . . . possibly even dangerous in this context.

  3. The contract for the show was for 3 seasons, this year the contract was not extended. But with the way the show was run an maintained the past 2 years why would anyone want to extend the contract?

    I believe they should have unwrapped the lights during the off-season and let the trees breath again.

    Interesting- so a company was contracted to produce (and one would presume, maintain) Starlight Spectacular?

    An outside company designed the show itself, so an agreement was set to run and promote the show for at least 3 seasons. After that, it's most likely a "you bought it so do what you want with it" kind of deal.

    All maintenance of the light show was done (or not done) by the parks themselves. The outside firm only provided design and programming services.

    I think a few strategically-placed laser projectors could eliminate the need for all the short-prone wiring.

    Please. No more lasers.

  4. ^ Off the top of my head, you could easily improve lighting, sound and set dressings pretty easily and it would make a noticeable difference. The same applies to Adventure Express.

  5. I went to Kings and Mason was our arch rival and I might have negative feelings towards Mason but I would never voice it out loud while working at the park. If the employee did curse at you, I would had reported them.

    You go, Glenn Coco.

  6. I remember watching an animation of the ride while riding the Eiffel Tower elevator as it was being built. Only rode it with the loop... had one or two bad experiences where I had an extreme headache after the ride; wasn't too bad any other time. Not much else to say...
