  1. Taking the Supermarket strategy it looks like.

    Staff the bare minimum, in this case it'll be rides and lifeguards which have minimums to operate.  

    I wonder if they will use those employees to fill other departments.  I remember back in my Rides days they would send people to Ecology (Park Services).

    Will they use Lifeguards in other departments until the waterpark opens?

    Then why make cuts to guest experience versus just asking for more money? If CF was so confident that is the case.

    What's a $10 increase to season passes across the board? When you have a payment plan system in place which $10 may increase the monthly bill by roughly a dollar? I don't think many if any customers would fuss at that, and it would be a lot less visible than some of the current cuts to guest experience.

    If KI sold let's say, 1 million season passes with a $10 increase across the board that becomes a pretty good chunk of coin. Likely enough to pay for said cuts, and then some. 

    In a twisted sense, it appears that the current CEO of CF is wanting to keep prices cheap and essentially attract Walmart customers, yet the current CEO of Six Flags publicly stated he's trying to avoid that. It will be interesting to see what happens post-merger.

     

    Kings Island attracts a Dollar General crowd on average.

    Is 7th Portal technically in the MCU?

    Unfortunately, no, it's not a Marvel property even.  Closer to an Amalgam comic type than anything else.

    While looking this up, I had no idea it was actually a web series.

    Early 2000’s. I’m going to say around 2003/2004. 

    As the resident Action Theatre enthusiast:

    Action Theatre History

    Secrets of the Lost Temple was there in 2003 only.

    Days of Thunder ran in Side B of Action Theatre for about 2 weeks in 2004.

  5. I'm sure someone from Tech Services can chip in here, but Action Theatre was a pretty high cost attraction.

    The seats have a lot of hydraulic moving parts and they would break down fairly often.

    Also, when I was there in 2004, the projector was still film.  Occasionally the film would break or burn out and they had to splice the film back together.

    The main reason it still stands is probably the workshop for Tech Services underneath, which basically handles all of the speaker and microphones in the park.

    A have a Haunt question- why did we never get a Phantom Theater Haunt? I’m not talking about recycling the props and figures for existing mazes that’s been going on for years, I’m talking about a concept that focuses on the original Phantom Theater IP.

    The best year, IMO, of Haunt/Fearfest was the first and they had Phantom Theatre with actors inside.
