You mean the seagulls vs. your car?No, I meant it exactly how you took it.Each park completely different. The rides are completely different. There is no intelligent way to distinguish which is better or worse for a true "vs." discussion. This exact topic has been brought up numerous times only to end in a pointless ****ing contest that will never have a true leader between the two. Then there is the obvious fact that this is a KI fansite. Topics like this bring out the worst in trolls.

Oh geez, this "vs" crap again? Just be happy both parks are easy driving distance away.

The hiccup with the insurance payout is the operator of the club paid for the insurance. He not only covered the building but also all the items in the building he provided & paid for.

And the hits just keep coming....... http://www.goerie.com/new-debts-added-to-conneaut-lake-parks-top-20#

Be sure to be engaging & show energy. Too often those being interviewed show little energy due to being nervous & it is perceived as being unmotivated. Also- ask questions. It shows genuine interest in the job. Good luck!

I am praying *praying* to the newspaper gods that an aquatrax design is leaked to the Sandusky Register...... -Brown- who is kicking himself for deleting Lance from speed dial.

And among all his well detailed & opinionated "faults", somehow CF prospered. I can think of another President who is blamed for everything, yet the country is not doing nearly as bad as some want to make it seem. I can only hope those who take such time to detail the negatives, the positives are not forgotten. Let's face it, everything he did could not have been all bad nor that much different than others in the same position of power.

Opinions are typically based upon something, I am wondering what you are basing yours on? Or is it just wishful thinking?

Perhaps James asked them to not name a coaster after him??

It is very possible the use of "forgery" was used incorrectly & is being taken in the literal sense. It is possible the document seen was for another park patron & not the handicapped child.

In other news, Vortex is sinking & Flight Deck is on the chopping block.

My apologies if the truth is disliked.

^ The policy is in the signed paper work when you process the pass at the park.

Evacuation to this extent is newsworthy. It does frustrate me that the media will use a park's website defining a ride that is meant to create a thrilling fantasy adventure as use it as something serious and over dramatic.

And it is sad that the park has to have such policies because the ones purchasing the pass are representing such little integrity for the kids. Moral of the story- read the fine print. If you do not agree with it, don't buy the item & complain later.

Perhaps you misunderstood the original complaint, no need to muck up a great discussion. I suggest re-reading the article, it may be enlightening to the "thousands upon thousands".

Don't forget, not everyone purchases a Gold pass just like in this exact case. If this were a Gold pass, it would not even be discussed. Let's not also forget, Gold passes are not available at every CF park. Much like pricing integrity is discussed, policy integrity is important too.

If I had to guess, I'd say "thousands upon thousands" is a gross overstatement of how much revenue this policy generates for the park, and whatever the number actually is appears to have been surpassed by the negative publicity.Not a gross overstatement in the least bit. If anything, thousands upon thousands underestimates the true impact of under 48" pass vs. over 48". We constantly discuss upset parents because their child cannot get onto a ride due to height. This falls into the same exact catagory.Just in the restauraunt business alone, families will make children "younger" to either get a free meal or a discounted meal. The true gross overstatement would be to believe this will have such a negative impact because people refuse to not only ignore the details but refuse to accept them even after becoming aware of them. If the park gave in to everything because a select few insisted on ignoring the details, the park would lose so much $$ it would cease to exist as we know it.

You call it short sighted when it actually covers the potential height issue long term and will not hurt the park long term. The only ones hurt are those who refuse to read the details. Those details to any park are as important as letting members know why it is important to capitalize something because it is trademarked. My daughter has grown 3.5" since April. Should we bring all her Justice clothes & Nike sneakers/ soccer shoes back because she no longer fits into them? Yeah, we would get laughed at. Ironically we purchased her clothes a .5 size big in anticipation for growth. The park has different pricing to make things easier for those with younger families. Take advantage of the pricing while you can. When a certain level is achieved, take advantage of the bigger rides.

I believe many need to understand why the policy is in place: With the convienance of online purchases comes deceitfulness (or literal stealing) from those purchasing tickets/ passes. If the policy is written, then it should not be a surprise. The policy(-ies) are available well before actual payment, if they are not read, shame on you. Now, the park should pro-rate the increase based on when the over 48" happens & how much time the pass can be used- not charge the pass holder full price. Same goes for under 62- and allow a discount if the pass holder turns 62 during the year. I'm not sure why so many want to jump on the bandwagon speaking negative of the park. They are in the business if making money. If they are not making money, then they are losing money. This situation is not the park losing a few hundred $$, but possibly thousands upon thousands.

This could be a VERY sad day. http://www.yourerie.com/news/news-article/d/story/conneaut-lake-park-will-be-sold-for-overdue-taxes/16906/lZFLz45cGUW_NvdICEQgEg

Perhaps after SR&R gets back from the Betty Ford Clinic it will not only: look new, it will be brighter, with a new name, and possibly a new location??
