Yet at Universal the loading and unloading process is relatively smooth and easy due to no loose items Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is my overall gripe with food. I thought about this while in line at Arby's today. For the most part, it's a shorter wait at Snake Pit for a fresh made (read grilled in front of you) sandwich than it is to get food at the Skylines, Fest Haus, or Soak City establishments. Why? You have very limited food menus at each place where food should be ready to go and be put out very quickly. If you sell burgers and you see a line of 50 people, then you should have 55 burgers ready. The lines should move fairly quickly. Arby's had probably 10 sandwiches ready to go during lunch time. So if you ordered it, it was ready to go. At a place like the Chicken Shack when you know lunch time is hitting (11-1ish) you should just keep making chicken fries and toast. You keep making the plates and put them up for people to grab and go. It should only be a bit slower if someone is ordering a salad. Here is how I (read no experience but learned from my dad who has experience and I worked in a few spots myself) would fix a place like Festhaus. Left line is Pizza and right line is Burger and Chicken. Have a speed rail thrown in against the walls for refills only. That way you can have two "lines" converge at the drink stand. So that way if you want just a drink you are not waiting behind pizza peeps and vice versa. Now your burger people and your pizza peeps won't slow each other down. It would be hurtful for the families that want both, but pizza seems to be the slowest line as some people want whole pizzas. As for the rest of the food eateries you need a drink only line. These are the people not ordering food. The line needs to be clearly marked as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That food line in Soak City is one of he absolute worst lines possible.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you know when the booking window for Disney Resort hotels opens? I thought it was 11 months out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Usually 11 months out, unless you are in the DVC... 9 months at your home resort, 6 months at others..

Well in all fairness, 9 years ago he was, 8-10 years old? Adults have a tendency to ignore youngins even if what they speak is the truth. Also, if I was a KI employee who didn't know anything about the organ and saw that it broke/stopped working I would probably request a specialist to come in and look at it. Maybe they deemed it too expensive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well if you have to pay for workers to stay after and clean they may want the employees done by no later than 30-60 mins after closing which means you close early to be done in time. Some places may want the employees off the clock by closing time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My wife lived in Boyd for her four years, I was in Thompson Theater, and the radio/TV stations while I was there. I'm taking my bowling team to a match in Zanesville this January and we will be doing a campus tour as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow that looks gorgeous. I miss the fish bowl... Glad you had a great time and you make time for a Muskie visit as well. As time marches forward, I find myself missing New Concord more and more. Thank you for the pictures I do appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would guess based on terp that the "sponsors" paid to be in the park and get certain perks (locations) based on sponsorship. Non-sponsors may be franchised to work in the park (park pays them to be there?) maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing is free. I'm not sure what the restaurants gain by being in the park while I see why the park wants them (oh look Skyline, let's eat here versus just leaving). Which makes me think the park has to pay them.... Yet I can see how the restaurants win more than the park as in they get "advertisements" in the park for the season, so they would have to pay the park... But the restaurants are staffed by the park and assuming the food is made in the park, which seems like a franchise.... I have no idea which way it works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does KI pay for Skyline (LaRosas, etc) to be in the park or do the companies pay to have a presence in the park? If I was one of these companies I'm not sure I would want to be represented the way it is currently (slow service, below par food) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have not done the dollar days at KI but Voicetek that's similar to my thoughts about the dollar lines at Great American Ball Park. To save a few dollars is not worth standing in line for 30-45 minutes. I came to the game to watch it not stand in line for food. Similarly to my opinion on KI his year. I came to enjoy the park not the inside of the food line... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgive me if I'm wrong but doesn't CP hire 18+ no minors? Different demo I get that but maybe hiring the majority of your work force (under 18) that interacts with the public may not be the best? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Didn't realize it's been 10 years already... Okay that cannot be an excuse anymore. Maybe the hiring of minors is a bad thing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

you probably could be terminated for an untrue application... There is a formula in business (or really basic accounting/business classes) that speak about a rise in attendance/purchase when prices lower and a decrease in purchases when a price increase.

Yeah give it up to Disney. We knew Pirates was closed about 6 months out. We couldnt change anything but it did let us know it was closed.... I just saw a "new" raptor experience at Universal. Looks pretty interesting.

That would explain why I vaguely remember one the flumes somewhere had a worker midway through that stopped us or something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So did the cabana really cut down on heat? Sort of thinking for next summer (or heck a hot weekend day) and I have my parents come with us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I get it. I really do. If CF were to ask me, hey could you volunteer some time to help with designing the future of digital media/fun TV at CF parks, I would. In a past life my services would cost money. Now it's a side hobby and an enjoyable one. I would ask for a perk though, say a discount on a pass or parking or something. But I get why people volunteer for this sort of stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And since my knee surgery I take that wide path as its a bit less stairs to deal with. It may take w bit longer but if the line isn't past that mid way entrance then it's good for my knee. I swear I don't know when I got old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Plus he seems pretty young (18-20) so this has to look good on a resume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right and I didn't realize that the replacement during the brake shed eliminated the blocking capabilities. Makes sense thiugh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgive me for being dumb... Why did the brake shed lose its blocking capabilities? Doesn't it still have kicker tires? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But it doesn't have to be. And considering recent trends toward more healthy, natural eating, it really shouldn't be. And as for quality and speed of service, just this past weekend I was at NJFTP. Went to the "Macho Nacho" place next to El Toro and had my food ordered, freshly prepared, and delivered to my table in under 10 minutes. For a busy Saturday, I was amazed. Healthy and non greasy would be best but I don't knock the park for that. I sort of assume that's what is offered and if it's different then it's a perk. The rest I do knock the park for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fat and grease... Yeah that kind of sucks but it's sort of natural when it comes to amusement park food.... The old/cold food again goes to subpar service from subpar workers. I'll say this, the restaurant near Vortex (honestly blanking) had a really good/fresh burger with bacon and the toppings. It ran almost 6-10 minutes for it but it was good. But here is the scenario in this restaurant. You have a line out the door, 1 person at register, 1 grilling/cooking, and 1 expediting/prepping the plate. When he was done either prepping the plate or cooking that one would go around and call for the order to be picked up. Or if the line got too long 1 ran out to run register leaving the other to cook and prep.... Just poor poor service/staffing/supervision. They kicked but in their restaurant area but again they were so short staffed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
