DJeXeL Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) It'll probably have the same fate as Thrill Shot: Operate for 1 season (IF that)and then sit and rot.... Edited December 14, 2012 by DJeXeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlva Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 ^ Why is it a temporary installment, though? Admittedly, I haven't been following this thread religiously, but I was assuming this thing would stick around for a while. could be that if it fails (or gets very little $$$$ generated) they can take it down and use the land for something else?

EastCoastn07 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Premier Rides First pieces of FT getting shipped out so they can sit in the overflow lot for 5 months.......   I would think that the delay (if you call it that) would NOT be SFMM fault this time, if the parts are just being shipped out now. Right?  Um, they don't even have footers poured yet...even if they had all the track pieces on site, they wouldn't be able to do anything with them. So feel to explain to me who's fault it is?

XYZ Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Premier Rides employees wear shirts with You Only Live Once (YOLO) on the back, seriously : Â Â https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=466102510098939&set=a.336150726427452.76415.255064557869403&type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSum1_55 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hey guys, let's see how slow we can build one of the most basic coasters of the year. Â Because, you know, YOLO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 ^YOSLO? Â I'm kinda surprised they havent droped the YOLO tagline yet... maybe Full Throttle will end up being Full Throttle - The YOLOCoaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a break though, it's not like they've been marketing theme park attractions for 51 years or anything...  Who's fault what is?  They are referring to whether a delay in opening would be SFMM's or Premier's fault.

dylanreich Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm going to give the park a pass on the ride's marketing mainly because even if we hate it, it's working if people are talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWolfman Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Does anyone know if SFMM's profits and attendance have been going down majorly? If so, do think the park will close if it continues? If that happened, we'd lose a large amount of rides built specifically for the park, or have them standing SBNO for a while...

Manic Monte Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Where is the proof that this park isn't profitable? Suddenly it's like people want to make this thread as negative as possible, without facts to back up their statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSum1_55 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I highly doubt numbers have been going down, let alone having the park close. I would file that in the "wishful thinking" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I think the parks they get the most profit from are SFMM, SFGAdv., and SFGAm, those are their flagship parks. I also highly doubt SF will close SFMM to the person who said that. that is the most ridiculous rumor ever, that is like CF closing down CP. SFMM is the top thrill park in the world. Does anyone know about the construction update on YOLOcoaster btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 ^Flag Ship doesn't always mean huge profit. I know when I worked at SFDK, we were 3rd in the chain for Season Pass sales (behind SFMM and SFGAdv) and that we were the park with the highest profits thanks to variety of animal and theme park merch, added experiences like Dolphin Swims and Elephant Rides, and various other things. Size of the park doesn't always mean largest profits. Don't forget the more rides you build means more staff you have to hire to operate and maintain as well as more spent on parts and upkeep.

Â Â that is true, but I'm pretty sure SFMM will not be closed, although I do remember hearing it was up for sale before during 2006. Like I said, SFMM is the top-thrill park in the world, and I doubt that a park that's getting a world-record breaking coaster next year will close down anytime soon.
