I have emailed Mr. Dave Frazier and he scheduled a day for me to present my ideas to him that regard Valleyfair's future success. Thanks for the advice Coaster Bill! Wish me good luck! -

Thursday is the date I've seen bounced around for other parks in the chain I accidentally typed my message in the quote box but it said " My haunt manager has no clue when. I guess its more of a PR thing. Hopefully ours is thursday because I'm excited. -

On a side note, I'm quite curious to see when valleyfair will put up their haunt website. After several discussions with other haunt employees and hearing about valleyfairs new maze project, This year may be a good one for haunt. I've heard claims of what their doing with this attraction has never been done before in a cedar fair park. -

Come on, it's not a big deal. Stop backpedaling and move on. I just wish enthusiasts as a whole would admit that we mostly don't know d**k about the corporate side of things and should stop telling the people who actually do this for a living how to do their jobs. Ok, I would say more but wont. Lets move on as this is uneccesary -

Call the park and inform them of this incredible idea. Tell them that you're 13, you have tons of experience with theme park economics and development in Rollercoaster Tycoon (specify that you've played versions 1,2 AND 3 so they know you're serious and not some random guy of the street who's talking out of his a**) and that you're worried about their "un-smartness". I'm sure they'll get back in touch with you immediately to schedule a conference call so they can learn how to save themselves from financial ruin. If I were you I'd call them now and then immediately start working on a PowerPoint. Be sure to include a lot of graphs and charts in the presentation, take screenshots of the graphs in Rollercoaster Tycoon if necessary. The Unsmartness was mostly humorous but it seems you thought I was serious. Please do not be like madmax. He got banned from the site for the same thing you are doing. He made tons of dumb comments and then tried to clear it up by saying he was trying to be humorous. Ok, well I know I wasnt fully serious on the last comment in my post. Its not like I dont know how the amusement park is run on a standard and corporate level. I just do kinda think that Valleyfair is somewhat wasting their time and space on filler attractions. But not saying I'm not excited for north star. I just easily see valleyfair wasting their space and then they will be completely screwed in a of years. Quote "MOSTLY" humorous -

I dont neccesarily have a timeline plan but all I know is Valleyfair has the space to add ATLEAST 3 rollercoasters and still enough space for some flat rides if they plan it properly and accordingly. But that wont happen if they proceed fill those potential spaces with cheap space wasting filler attractions. And I dont mean just rollercoasters. Put something worthwhile instead of just attractions we dont neccesarily need. -

Relocating a wooden coaster is super tedious. Its more worth it to install a brand new coaster. As of now Thunder Canyon is a lake, and Excalibur is a water coaster. Its not too bad as last time but its a couple feet. The back of the park is closed. -

Dragster was up again, I got into the station... and it broke again. I ended up waiting in the station for 2 hours anticipating it would be fixed. I wasnt going to give up on my first trip to cedar point. -

I thought they were gonna add it where the Bumper Cars are Don't really think the Bumper Cars building is suitable to house a dark ride. Even if it was, it would have to be a very small/short ride to fit in there. It's possible to just demolish it and build a new structure you know. Most people are probably reffering to building the dark ride on that land. -

I've seen it quite a few times already and It seems to get a good audience for each show. Even in the hottest of days from what I've seen people still watch it. -

Every amusement park should have a theatre to. -

That has more to do with the entertainment budget going t'wards the new show. The theater's not going anywhere. They just installed additional equipment this spring. And the ComedySportz improv team will pack it out come Halloween. Finally someone else who appreciates the theatre. I also believed that and lance told me himself. Are you in the entertainment department? -

Wheel of fortune has been stripped of its gondolas (if that's the proper term to use) I overheard a manager talking to some other people saying their waiting for a part.
