I've seen Paramount handle things badly too. I never went to KI under Paramount, but I did once see multiple ride associates ignoring a crying child who had fallen and scraped his knee. (and no, they weren't ride ops, they were greeters) The only time I've seen anything bad at KI under CF is during the first few weekends. It's impossible to expect perfection out of someone who probably has never held a job before and has almost no experience dealing with customers. They can't train you on how to deal with a lady screaming at you because she thinks the free cups of water are too small. You need experience for things like that. BTW, I doubt many of the employees are trying to give wrong information. I have said things which I honestly thought were correct, but turned out not to be.

Seriously, this topic has NOTHING to do with Diamondback or Beast. I'd like to see some upgrades on Crypt, but I'd like to see a new ride even more.

They have *gasp* LIDS AND STRAWS? I actually like the 2010 pizza better myself... although, honestly, I'm not a big fan of pizza. True story: for quite a while, I thought the LaRosa's pizza I ate somewhere almost daily was a cheap cafeteria pizza. Shows what I know.

I think it would be easy to upgrade the park's lighting by just adding some LED floodlights onto the top of the buildings. Looks decent and it would create a lot of light.

My punishment? Make 'em work at KI until they pay KI back. Should only take 7 years or so...

Or not break the posted rules. But, oh well, whatever...

Perhaps because it's a picture of a sign. There's a difference between a sign and a graphic used to draw visitors into your website...

This sums it up nicely.

Agreed. As far as I can guess, the rest of the park isn't finished with their opening procedures by 9:30/9:00 and they don't want to just open the whole park and disrupt that. Also, I think a lot of people who have day tickets would be upset if they went over to a non-ERT ride and there was already a huge line because of ERT (Like TTD at CP).

I think he's saying that someone did... I got the impression that he works in the call center perhaps?

"All hours and operating schedules are subject to change without notice."

That's kind of sad. I guess they really like catering to the type that overplans their day... 12:05 Meet Mickey 12:10 Buy shirt for Johnny 12:37 Ride Space Mountain 12:41 Clean vomit off of Johnny's new shirt 12:46 Go to restroom etc... I always thought character greetings were more of a spontaneous thing- "Hey, let's go see Mickey!", not "Hey, it's 1:07, better hurry up across the park to see Mickey at his scheduled time!" Oh well, what do I know.

You messed up your line breaking. I read "select days" as meaning holidays and occasional weekends.

I'm glad he's boycotting the rides, as it'll mean a shorter wait for all the reasonable people.

Sportacopters used to go a different route?

The first thing I noticed in that video is that all the edge lights on the International Street buildings were working... although KI seems to be doing better on those than Disney- I was amazed how many of the lights like that were out at the Grand Floridian. They must be really tough to take care of. Hopefully someday they'll have LED lights there!

CW seems to have customized theirs more (the banner at the top, for example). Maybe CW management simply doesn't want a new one yet?

But the main purpose of a gold pass is unlimited visits to the park and free parking. The main purpose is not ERT. It's like asking for a refund on a hotel room because, while the hotel has a pool, spa, tennis courts, a running path, and a bowling alley, you don't like the color of the wallpaper in the hallway.

I have no problem with someone getting a refund on a pass, as long as their name is blocked from purchasing another season pass that season. Besides, I'm sure the free parking isn't a benefit of the gold pass, right? If you were going to downgrade to a regular pass for some reason, wouldn't it end up costing *more* since you'd have to pay for parking? Gold Pass: $100 Regular Pass: $95 + Parking for ONE VISIT: $10 = $105 Sooo... the gold pass is cheaper. I guess I just don't get the problem here. It's STILL A BETTER DEAL. http://tickets.visit...season_pass.cfm I have to say, I'm glad to see The Beast off of ERT. It never seemed to be open when I could go for ERT.

I highly doubt they would open the entire park for ERT, as I'm sure there are things they do in the morning that they prefer to be out of the view of guests.

So, if someone were to buy a season pass today hoping that they'd get Vortex and WindSeeker ERT, you think it would be okay for them to change it?

There's also something that says information posted on the website is subject to change.

I doubt the GP cares much, since Diamondback rarely has really long lines anymore and most of them don't complain about every thing the park does.

I doubt they'd add two ERT rides, since that would require opening almost the whole park.

I doubt many outside of the enthusiast community care. I'm sure they would appreciate extra time on the new ride...
