beastfan11 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That all sounds incredibly stupid. Just gonna say it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That ridiculousness sounds like a fun park that would have been in Demolition Man! The entire audio system would be playing "I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 So we get rid of a great collection of classic rides and throw in some inflatables. I guess throwing a patch on when a hole gets created or replacing a blower is cheaper than maintaining those rides. What happens when they go floating down the Ohio River? I almost think they would be better off with Morgan RVs who ran Indiana Beach into the ground. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Actually Brad, you inadvertently hit on exactly what they are doing when you spoke about throwing a patch on a hole..... the phrase "Throwing a Band-Aid on a bullet wound" comes to mind. EDIT: I started laughing when I thought about them floating down the Ohio River.... Coney Management will charge admission for the World's largest duck pond game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Sounds like this is their answer to "people actually want more than just a pool", but it certainly won't appeal to as many people as the classic rides did, and in fact it will mostly appeal to kids. I'm also wondering how well the whole "arts and crafts" thing will work in a pool setting... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will do splendidly if people are selling handcrafted beach towels and pool floaties 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 This all sounds like a botched attempt and trying to salvage whatever they can to keep the appeal. Even though truly there is no appeal. And honestly inflatable obstacle courses are just gross. All I smell are dirty feet when I think about them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
