Jr for Birdy Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Sorry if the word Fanboy bothers anyone. I went as a paying customer just to see the reveal of Banshee, that qualifies myself as a Fanboy and I'm proud of it. Didn't know it was such an offensive word, ouch. 4 Quote
brenthodge Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 its not just SSS - that just illustrates a bigger issue. There - short enough for you? 2 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 What may be a bigger issue to you, may not be a big issue to other consumers, who just prefer to go to the park for the day to ride some roller coasters and other rides. 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 And more importantly, what may be a big issue to you may not be as big an issue for the park. They have to worry about keeping their star attractions operating at tip top shape for the entire operating season. They have payroll to worry about. I'm pretty sure a clock and some Christmas lights are the least of management's concerns. 3 Quote
kjkjkj Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Then they really should have never put it in, in the first place. The lights killed most of the trees around the Eiffel Tower, and it looks trashy now. I think the park really needs to focus on stuff like that. Sure ,they are making huge improvements as far as redoing sections of the park when they add in a new attraction, but they should also turn some of their attention to the forgotten things around the park. Tower Gardens and Snoopy's Starlite at the top of the list. 2 Quote
Tanna Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Tower Gardens is like the Norma Desmond of KI. It's really sad. I am grateful that they got that AMC Pacer out of there. All that movie junk looked ridiculous in such a restful setting. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Not as ridiculous as a smoking area. Of all things. 7 Quote

My point exactly - and to say "they have other things to worry about other than a clock and some lights" lets them off the hook way too easy. These things are there in full view and part of the marketed product just like roller coasters. You can ride some roller coasters and other rides at a carnival or amusement park. I guess that is where I don't really understand what this park wants to be anymore. I guess just an amusement park with random, maintained rides with little filler or theming to connect it into a cohesive whole. I guess thats the product I am looking for and why I no longer want the product they are selling. 1 Quote

HarvestmanMan Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 On a side note the garden clock wasn't working a lot this year I noticed. Will be extremely sad to see that feature go. I've loved it since I was a kid. Is it going somewhere? Quote

Yes, surf dog isnt as bright and shiny as when it opened, but it still gives the same fun ride it always has. 1 Quote
