Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks

That’s the rumor, but for February? It’s not going to busy regardless. -
The one thing about rapids rides is that they are EXPENSIVE to operate. The cost of running the pumps and filtration systems all day is absurd. I know when I worked at Cedar Point they said their raft ride was the most expensive ride in the park from a maintenance perspective and I can confirm similar things here at Animal Kingdom. Financially, parks generally spread the costs of operations over their ridership. If rapids ride X costs a million dollars a week to operate and 70,000 people ride it that week then the cost per guest is around 14 dollars. (these are made up numbers) The riders

I can speak to this. When we reopened, all coasters were loading every other row. Rides like Soarin' and Flight of Passage were leaving empty seats between parties. Boat rides were one group per boat. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what the Omnimovers like Spaceship Earth were doing. We have now adjusted and the coasters *with high headrests* are loading every single row.

I believe passholder and employee previews will be going on during that week, so you might have a chance at a soft opening between those times.

If you think that account is ran by anyone other than Tony or his former intern Jordan, you're mistaken. -
If Cedar Fair got another park
TTD-120-420 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
If we're talking ones that might actually be up for sale sometime soon, I'd put Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I wouldn't like to see it because I don't think Cedar Fair would handle the theming very well, but, then again, neither has SeaWorld as of late. -
I have heard Christmas season of 2018.

Are Water Rides Dying Out?
TTD-120-420 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The log flume at Busch Gardens Williamsburg just completed a complete restoration project. I think most parks already have the necessary water rides. When Universal opens their third park, it'll be interesting to see if they put a water ride in it. -
Silver Dollar City advice

Outlaw Run was perfection. The food was not Dollywood level but was still delicious. The cave tour blew my mind. Highly recommend. -
