I know they periodically put it up, but I think it would be nice if they had the current time on the screens at all times.

There was a time when clocks were essentially forbidden in most amusement parks. Kings Island's Floral Clock stood out as an exception.

^^ So true. Guests were supposed to get lost in the theme and take their times to wander and enjoy. Now it's the opposite. Now guests must plan their time down to the minute, and be at the Magic Castle before their LaneHopper ticket time expires and then run over to Mr. Bunnies Totally Awesome Hop Thingy to get a new LaneHopper before they're gone. Then they have to make it to the Inter Park River Transit before the dock closes to go to the Animals Only Park because they have a scheduled lunch reservation at the Shady Knoll Terrace, and they are required to be 15 minutes early. (It's almost like someone with ADHD was in charge of these new planning systems.)

BTW, FUNTV? I've already tuned them out as a distraction.

Too much planning..walk around have fun

Heard Thriller thrice today.

The line for Boo Blasters is kind of silly now.

Adventure Express - a mine train into the jungle? Cool, let's hear modern music and get updates on pop culture.

Park trivia - oh, cool! Oh, wait, that question's been asked six times today already!

No useful information about the park, like wait times, current closures, attraction advertisements, or places to go get food...

FUNtv is a great concept. But they really need to work on it.

The Six Flags version is a huge money maker for the parks...

I think you're going to see a lot of the aforementioned stuff. It's an adequate team pulling off the FunTV stuff, but they are trying to come up with initial content for all of the properties.

The turn around on original products is a time killer. If you assume you need one hour for every minute of a final project, every 3 minute info piece takes 3 hours from planning, shooting, editing, etc. .....

I say bring back Mighty Mouse and Bugs Bunny cartoons that they used to show on QTV.

Does anyone know the song/video that was (as best I remember) mostly black and white? Female singer, kinda R&B-ish I guess? Very smooth and laid back, but weird video...I think she had a sorta Cleopatra hairstyle....and it's stuck in my head. Except I know NONE of the words lol. That's the worst kind of "stuck in your head" to me...
