The movie may be good (it is) but it lacks the ability that most kids movies do. The ability to be left on repeat all day or be requested by kids all day. That being said But let's not kid ourselves... peanuts is not a brand that most kids actively identify and want to interact with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Years later.... and .... we have older more bland characters.... my kid likes snoopy just fine but once we leave the park he couldn't care less. Meanwhile.... we watch Scooby Doo cartoons every weekend.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Soooo no names of the people you spoke with? I guess that's where we are now... lawlessness.... Also the antique rumors started about 30 pages back because reasons? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the park doesn't do it I wonder if we could get a group of volunteers to do the following for the park.... Line and repave the parking lot Run a tram system for park goers More roving entertainment Fix the issue with the FP and reg guest loading Excuse me that I may not be as excited as some about another restaurant (instead of improving what's there) or another ride when there are glaring (imo) issues already that should be addressed first Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd be happy if the parking lot was paved.... it is starting to feel like a terrible flee market parking lot.... the lines are faded, spots are ill marked... people drive like morons.... the whole thing needs to be reworked and relined and repaved Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are a few on here that would be best if they stop speculating as if they are dealing with facts.... when you state in absolutes you can look silly... you also run he risk of making the rest of the site look bad. Some media have been known to look on here because at one point we had experts on here commentating.... the ones that are stating with facts donnotnappear to be experts .... Kenban! Great description of the ride physics. My only question is did it get hit by the back row as well which might have caused it to clear the fence as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The video of the accident is shocking. It's not as graphic as you would expect. The video does not show any injuries but does show people being thrown. The disturbing video would be the one that people shot and put up on YouTube of the rescue of the bodies/people. I also don't blame the people for shooting and uploading video. It's breaking news. It's disturbing but I don't blame them. This might be how they are coping of being in the situation and seeing something like this. Prayers to everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a separate food group of its own I think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe I need to give Chicken Shack a new try... last time I was there it was dry and tasted like they used old oil. As for Hanks, not a huge fan of their flavor. And Skyline .... something feels off with it. Maybe it's nothing... I should also mention I haven't tried Smokehouse yet. But last year the Reds grill was great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Let's not forget that yes it's processed food. But odds are they went with the cheapest supplier.... you get what you pay for on food suppliers.... I think what worries me then most about this situation is the apologists that are content with this. The "eh itsnone bad thing, they'll get it right next time". Or my favorite "if you want a Disney experience go to Disney, you won't get it here".... basically saying a below average experience is appropriate. I'm a current meal plan holder that will not be renewing next season. We've had it for a few years. Each year I've said maybe next year it will be better... I can count 3 places the meal plan is good for right now... Chick Fil A, Panda Express, and LaRosas (some times).... (haven't been to the Tom and Cher yet).. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's what I thought as well but shaggy says no.... I may be thinking of another log flume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was there a local log flume ride or style that had two conveyors on one lift? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.
