I'm racking my brain to make a decision on this membership. If I get the diamond, which I would, I can get the dining pass for $67.80, instead of 110.00. Though, I would pay more in the long run with the membership. About $145.00. I would leave my two kid's passes as regular, so my only benefit is the parking, water park seating (we go a lot), and some discounts. That's the other issue. Without all of us having the Diamond area waterpark seating, I could only go in there. Dammit!..lol..

You do not know how tempted that I am right now. Had something else planned, but now I do not know. Keep us informed on the amount of folks please.

Probably on Saturday.

This is true. Of course, someone will say I got the info from the Dippin Dots guy (rightfully so, as that is what I would say), but my comment about the 4 D was/is true.

The same time as the hand me down Enterprise gets here.

Only 1 week.

Even if it wasn't as rough, its still a pretty unimaginative, uninteresting coaster. Imagine how much more fun you'd have on an RMC Raptor or T-Rex. Definitely would have to 'imagine' it for two reasons. We are definitely not getting either of those, and, no one has ridden those yet.

Hmm, sounds a little elitist, but I digress. Many businesses, even a few powerhouses have found themselves out of business or suffering, because of years of overcharging people. Though I do not agree fully, your charge per ride idea is interesting. Kind of like a carnival. Though, I do not think they could get away with charging at the gate, and on the rides.

I'm actually looking forward to the extra deck space. Also, the upgrades to the water park will be great.

If they did anything close to this stupidity, it's definitely goodbye SFA. Well thanks for calling my idea stupid without even providing justifications for it. I postsed a well thought out multi-paragraph business plan while you spouted out a sentence of vulgarity. Way to go. The word, "stupid" is "vulgar"? I learned something new today. I think that its not logical or right to attack a person's character when you disagree with what they say. It makes more sense to try to look at the argument and try to improve it or create counterpoints. You should probably know that calling somebody "stupid" or saying something is "stupid" without saying why is going to push buttons and is not going to come across well. Just thought that I would help you out there. For example, when I was talking about increasing the price of season passes, people created a counter point where they mentioned that they would not pay $400 for a season pass, so my idea might not be practical for the real world. I appreciate this argument, and appreciate the time they took to write it. However, the argument was fallacious. Primarily, their math was faulty. I was talking about a multiple of 4-5 based on the expected price that somebody would pay at a park after normal discounts. SFA is $70 sticker price at the gate... in name only. You can buy online and get tickets for $45, and probably find even better discounts elsewhere without looking too hard. Maybe somebody can double check the facts on that, but with soda cans, online discounts, etc. only fools really pay for the full stick price. So let's assume $45. Now let's assume a multiplier of 4.5. 4.5x42=$202.50. Yes, its a high cost, but not anywhere near 400. And if you don't want to pay that, that's a good thing. As I was saying, a main problem for the lack of profitability at parks like SFA is the cheap season pass cost. You can buy an SFA season pass for $62, plus this comes with perks, coupons, exlusive stuff, etc. So maybe the raw component of the entry to the parks is something like $52. Let's say that they go 8x a year. The park is making $6.50 a visit off of you. Not very good. Those are rookie numbers. You have to pump those numbers up if you want to make money, and put it back into the park. I think that to make the kind of margins that they want, they need to think in terms of revenue earned per visit per guest. There is a limited capacity at the park, and they need to maximize their earnings per visit, while managing costs. If fewer guests who are cheapskates choose to not get season passes, great! If they choose to not buy individual tickets, great! If they choose not to go, you probably weren't going to be making much money off of them anyways.

Taking feelings into account, I'll say this. Walmart makes a lot of money, because they sell a lot of stuff cheap. SF is a business. Someone, somewhere with a ton of education (or maybe not) put the math together.

Nope. Not one park would I pay that. Well, unless they had live dinos.

The taco place is privately owned/leased. I know the owners. Same folks who own the turkey leg place in CC.

Having gone to this park for years, I can honestly say that lines, when there were lines, moved relatively fast.

Yes, I flipped through. Quite a bit of improvements. Here is the link:

Not really an answer to your question, but the permit is filed.

That's an understatement.

I won't say "never", but the house is in REALLY bad shape... I'm PRETTY sure that the park has actually received permission to bulldoze/clear the property, but for whatever reason hasn't yet (possibly due to cost, possibly because they have no reason to [no plans to build in that area], possibly because the "ruins" make good backdrop for the Hall Manor trail. Can't bulldoze. It's protected state property.

Let me say. The lady that sings in the Cursed show is extremely good.

Yes, the Hall Manor trail is right by PBR/Oak Grove Pavilion path. And yeah, new houses/scarezones would be nice . . . . Overall (and maybe I'm preaching to the choir here, but whatever) . . . ops overall could be better. Maybe sending more than 7 people through at once in the mazes, maybe having food ops better (I don't like standing in line nearly 10 minutes JUST to refill my water bottles. And I didn't see the unlimited hot chocolate cups like they had last year). A lot of people actually have/had problems with them sending too many. Can't win I guess. The only way to fix the Hall Manor line is to make the trail way longer.

No. Six Flags just does horrendous haunt mazes. What made it even worst is that every coaster was either stuck on the lift or temporarily down except minderaser and surprisingly Batwing. Really? I know Superman and Wild One were running continuously. Apocalypse too. I saw Roar down, but that's it.

One look at this person's username, and what he wrote should be enough for a smart person to know that this is a :....TROLL

They are going to be running WW backwards for FF.

How much I would love not to have to tote that cup around.
