I for some reason remember it being one going half way and then another for he upper half? And yeah the double drop I forgot about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And this was the most disheartening thing I read. You have pulled the veil back and it showed what honestly I hoped was not true..... and also I'm done bringing my complaints to the park and on here. If management and supervisors know about it, that means it won't change. So the park is cool with the wrong park name, he wrong coaster names, the jokes about pricing on drinks.... I guess if you want Disney level professionalism, Disney level ride operators, Disney level everything, I should go to Disney and not expect the same standard here. I get it.

That's what I've done here. It's not the park it's the enthusiasts or the new ones who come and blow things up. I took a break from here and came back but I don't know man. You're probably right.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fair but the problem with the spiel is you have people trying to be funny and crack jokes on he name or safety or price... etc.... again this comment won't change anyone's minds and it's like yelling at a cloud but the problem with the spiel isn't that people spiel (when done right, it's great) it's that the people spieling are being straight up stupid about it. Changing ride names etc. it's embarrassing to bring someone to the park over the age of 18 and be like yeah this is the park that doesn't care about image. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And would southwest joke about being delta? Or united? About the cost of the plane or salaries? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you speak I listen... I legit respect your opinions and the work you do on other media. I'm okay when the person doing it is good. Unfortunately a lot of the time it comes down to the wrong name stuff that really gets under my skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're changing the argument, again. The discussion is about spieling and ride ops trying to make jokes or be funny. You said they do this because they are bored. Boredom doesn't mean a bad job but shirking other duties to be funny does. Also what does changing the ride names and making terrible jokes do except cause people to tune out to any microphone talk (which means they may miss important info) and annoy the regular park goers or cause them confusion as Boddah pointed out.

The problem with the interesting thing is most of it falls back on ridenops purposely calling rides the wrong name etc. and you're right I'll do better in my discourse on here. It's just hard to take a high road when others take low roads at times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Changing your argument? You said making jokes so they are not bored.... that's what is up for discussion..... but it's cool you won the Internet argument. Congrats.... Boddah I agree with you completely. This spieling stuff needs to end Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it. If a kids concerned about being funny and trying to make it more entertaining because they are "bored" then they need a new job. Period. I have no sympathy for people working. We have all worked terrible jobs. We all have to fake our customer service smiles. But they have a job where the safety and well being for others as the main priority. Why do you feel it goes hand in hand that people have to joke to do to their jobs well. These kids who run rampant on the mic should be fired. The supervisors who let this happen should be let go. The people who think power hours are good should be tarred and feathered. Guess who doesn't have power hours, doesn't have spiels, and the lines move fast? Disney and Universal. But hey sure they spiel at county fairs. I guess you are okay with our park slipping to county fair status. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually I think a ton of customers and paying guests would be happy if the teenagers just swallowed the microphone and didn't speak. Go to can spiels. Also power hours are garbage. Instead of pushing as many people through as you can, why not always work at the safe speed and fill cues. Other parks don't have this problem. What personality will the rides lose by having a high school or college kid no longer able to talk? As you said most people ignore it because it's useless. If you don't have the kid giving useless pep talks to the crowd and there is an emergency all of a sudden people will listen to the person on the mic. And guess what if you are bored or think the job is boring, for gods sake go work elsewhere. You literally have the safety of people on your hands. If you can't stay motivated to pay attention for that then I'm sorry you need to be fired. Everyone on here that's defending the processes is, like Boddah said, part of the problem.

Big eaters or expensive tastes. If you really plan to sit and kill 60/meal each then donit. Download the app for WDW and you can see food prices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That Golf course is really nice. They have parts of the course ifnyour ball goes in you are not allowed to go and play it or look for it. Because of the birds and snakes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We just got back from World. May was a wonderful time. Not too hot or cold. We didn't do the meal deal, ate when we were hungry and spent about $700, meal deal would have been 1200-1300... so that helped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dumb question does Cedar Fair and other parks with spielers teach them to talk on a microphone or do they just not teach them how to interact with guests? Like for example at WDW their is no one on the mics on the rides. You just get on, and someone checks you and off you go I think. If there was interaction it was in preshow before the ride and in a small setting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to Disney to get the Disney experience. No spielers..... it was very fun and enjoyable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost felt like I was back on it. Just needs: a much much louder chain. And maybe a way to make it jump back and forth more. Felt way too smooth Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy to hear about the Skyline running smoother. That's the one that always blows my mind. Not taking anything away from Skyline cooks, that's one of the easiest places to make food. Burgers and chicken you can't undercook, fried foods literally have a timer of how long so you can short that time (or shouldn't). But Skyline (minus the fries) is all cooked before being brought to the line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
