bkroz Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 I'm sure that is what it means, but why phrase it like that? Why not just say "Yes, we are considering options for the waterpark, for future seasons."? Because he didn't think that we were going to pick apart his every word? If whoever if answering these questions happens to make his(?) way to this website, they'll surely be baffled and, to say the least, surprised that many people hang on every last word. "It's on the map" clearly doesn't mean no, but a lot of us have to go back and forth for 45 minutes on whether or not it means "yes." Ah, the off-season!

Beast1979 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 With so many mentions of 031610, I have to think there must be a very big and important event that day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Or, it might not amount to a hill of beans. That is the day of the special meeting in Sandusky, Ohio, at which the results of the unitholder vote on the proposed Apollo merger will be announced. It needs a 2/3 vote to pass, with each unit having one vote. Put a more realistic way, 1/3 of the units plus one voting no or not voting and it fails...and then things could really get interesting....

HTCO Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Q: Tony Douglass - I know this may be a dumb and repetitive question, but Is there any chance that the possibility of Phantom Theater may return in some way shape or form? A: Tony, there are no dumb questions. Phantom Theater won't be returning to the park. There will be a new dark ride experience for our guests this season. We're excited about it. link This makes me excited! But at the same time I'm thinking in my head... "Its Cedar Fair". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 By a new dark ride experience, they mean the ride formally known as SDATHC, and they said it will still feature the guns. It will not be Peanuts themed, and the fact that they refered to it as a "Dark Ride Experience" means it's gotta be something special. 041710!

IBEW_Sparky Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The Crypt could also be considered a "dark ride experience" and I would hardly use "special" to describe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your constant reminders of 031610 remind me of all the Mayan 12/21/2012 stuff!!!! Maybe the same result for Cedar Fair, and the world, just at different times?

CedarPointer Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If it were to be radically different from SDatHC, KI would be advertising it as a new attraction. They aren't, so it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 As was said, let us not forget that The Crypt is touted on the website as a "struggle against the fury of nature’s polar opposites" and a multi-sensory, immersive dark ride / adventure. In reality, it's just dark. A new "dark ride experience" may well end up being a heck of a lot worse than its previous incarnation. Or, (to get Terpy-ish about it) not. While I do not know what dark ride we're getting and I hope and pray I'm proven wrong, all other Cedar Fair parks that had interactive Scooby Doo dark rides are being replaced with "Boo Blasters on Boo HIll." If Cedar Fair had ever given the impression that they viewed our (admittedly, bigger & better) kid's area as bigger or better, I would be more apt to say we might get something other than BBOBH. Again, though, I would love to be proven wrong, and might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 And regardless of whether it is at either end of that spectrum, it WILL be marketed as a new experience. The park would be bonkers to do anything but that. Come visit our mildly changed SDATHC? Yeah, right. No, it WILL be marketed as a new attraction, and it will be.

CedarPointer Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 And how do you know that they are not? IIRC, we were told that we were not receiving new attractions as part of our retheme when it was announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 That does not mean that rides that are rethemed will not be marketed as new attractions. They will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerRider Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I can't wait to see what the 2010 map looks like. I bet that the Waterpark will be on it! I am very happy with the Coke answer.

TylerRider Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If Son of Beast is still standing, it need to be onthe map. It could really throw people off. They will wonder what that big wooden thing is and why it is not on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If Son of Beast is still standing, it need to be onthe map. It could really throw people off. They will wonder what that big wooden thing is and why it is not on the map. That same issue was at BGW years ago when Drachen Fire was SBNO for almost 4 seasons (closed in July 1998 and removed by March 2002). The park decided to not have the ride on the map for the ride's first full SBNO status in 1999. I also don't know what would be the lesser of two evils: is it better to have a ride on the map that is SBNO which gives a sense to guests that it could potentially could operate, or keep it off the map resulting in a clear decision that the ride will not operate.

CedarPointer Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 They could have just the predrop area showing on the map, have it translucent, and have a note underneath that says "Son of Beast will not operate for the 2010 season." It still could be used as a point of reference for guests, but it would be obvious that it isn't operating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 You are assuming that a final decision has been (or will be) made prior to having the park maps sent to print for the season. At this time the park is still saying a decision has not been made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 And even if it has, no decision made right now can be considered final, given the status of the park's current ownership and the flux thereof. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkjkj Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 And how do you know that they are not? IIRC, we were told that we were not receiving new attractions as part of our retheme when it was announced. Just because we aren't getting a brand new physical ride, doesn't mean we won't be getting a new "experience". When Phantom Theater was removed and Scooby Doo was put in it's place, Scooby Doo was counted as a new ride. Sure it's the same physical ride, but a brand new experience, that was marketed as a new ride. On a side note, is every ride in Planet Snoopy going to be blue? haha http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=5085790&id=155893938367#!/photo.php?pid=5085791&id=155893938367&fbid=396107438367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
