Even when they DO add something I expect guest service to be top notch, Im sorry and anyone who wants can call me an a$$, but simply put I want/expect Pat and Will Koch era HW level guest service every time I come into a park that (when a passholder) I dropped as much on the pass as I did on my iPhone.  Throughput.... throughput, throughput, throughput (safe of course)... is what I desire as well as proper "You pay a part of my salary so Im going to be nice, attentive, and efficient" interaction at food and drink stands or restaurants.  Ask anyone who has gone to a park with me and they will say I am the NICEST person to the ride-ops and all other associates in any park provided the same courtesies are afforded me when we interact.  The automated spiels mentioned being on some rides is a start.... yes I understand blocking, load/unload times, and the fact that more often than not its the guests that slow said load/unload/dispatch times down but I have no desire to listen to smalltalk over the mics.  All the Sirens Curses and TTD2s and whateverelses dont cut it with me unless there is a minimum of BS attached to riding said coasters.

Sadly, CP has been on the decline in guest sentiment since 2019, and seems to get worse every year. Unlike a park like KI, CP has to rely on people outside of say an hour circle to make it a viable park. On years they don't add something, guest service has to be top notch or people won't go...but sadly, like KI....enough will continue to go regardless of the product being offered. But I know plenty that have decided to not make a visit this year, or cut their number of trips way shorter. But people will also still show up in numbers to the roller coast capital of the world.....

Thank you very much for this, this is the information I needed to make an informed decision this season on whether or not to attend that park.

I haven't made my way to the point this season. (I plan on going June 2nd.) But I have heard they removed the brisket from Backbeat BBQ. That was my favorite restaurant and meal when visiting. The brisket was a well-known, fan favorite at CP. It's a shame they removed it due to budget cuts.

A few foods I had this weekend. The only new one that I hadn't tried yet is the big BBQ turkey leg, it was rather costly but I did really enjoy eating it! 😋
