  1. I did not say it was but as we all know guests do not read signs and sometimes you have to give explanation. And when a guest is just told to turn around it would have been appropriate to explain why so they understand. Once again it is about the patron employee relationship.

  2. About a cookout at a friends in Cincinnati.

    Sorry, have someone talking in my ear, phone is ringing and I had several pages up on puter. Phone was for the cookout and someone pm'd me asking about what I think was going to happen in 2011 at CF parks.. All this while I was posting.

  3. Holiday World gives out water and soda as well, and have not only seen that money spent elsewhere, but have also seen a decrease in the number of EMS calls.

    Looks like Mr. Kinzel should rethink his pricing strategy. ;)

    You are right about that for sure. I do nto suspect KI or any CF park will ever give away free sodas and that is fine by me. But if they would drop the price a few bucks. **sighs**

  4. However KIBOB this is not the same KI that was once in its limelight, from the start there have been several owners each having new ideas and such, some successful some not as much. Everything changes in life.

    A Theme Park is a place where the park itself, along with the lands and rides in the park are built to tell a story. The story should fully immerse you into the environment it creates with little to no reference of the outside world. The best example are the Disney Parks. Each park has it's own story, the lands in each park have their own story, and each ride has a story starting from the moment you enter the line. Disney also does a good job with making sure you can't see outside the park, letting guests forget about the problems of the outside world, and just have fun.

    An Amusement park is a place where the point is just to really thrill you. Rides are placed with no real thought of theme or story. The outside world can usually be seen from several points in the park. An example of this is pretty much every Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks.

  5. Think about it. The rides are outside, many many people ride them everyday with dirty hands and they grab on to the bars which grinds it in more. Think about your home. It gets dirty correct? Dust particles, sweat and more causes crude. I am sure it is not grease from the maint. men...lol... Also think about a car. If you never ever washed it it pretty much would look like crap after a few years. Do they clean them like they should? Prolly not.
