coasterbill Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I dont neccesarily have a timeline plan but all I know is Valleyfair has the space to add atleast 3 rollercoasters if they're SMART, in which they aren't so they'll probably fill those potential spaces with cheap space wasting filler attractions. And yes, I know most these desicions are by Cedar Fair so valleyfair doesnt get all my blame from their "un-smartness" 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFhauntblog Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) 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. 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. And thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to do that. What was the number that I should call again?

grsupercity Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Madmax had plenty of warnings, and he turned the warnings into jokes. His post got worse and worse with each one he created.

canadianparkfan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm glad the name isn't a FairHawk, but the ride is not at the northern border of the park. It's more southeast. At least they didn't name it "Northhawk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

VFhauntblog Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine to disagree with someone, but you dont have to be rude about it dude. Don't get me wrong, sarcasm is great! Actually, sarcasm is fantastic. But there is a pretty definite line between being sarcastic and being an A-Hole. Sure, he may not know how to run a corporate business, but it's a lot more disheartening to see you, an adult, picking on a 13 year old kid on a themepark website. Not cool dude.

coasterbill Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 You think that was rude? That was sarcasm, entirely free of any personal insults. I saw his age and that's why I approached it the way that I did. Also, it's not a matter of agree / disagree. It's not like he said "I think we're getting a Top spin next year" and I disagreed. He implied that he knew how to run a theme park than the people actually running Valleyfair. That's a ridiculous statement that deserves some light hearted ribbing. Calm down and read the disclaimer at the bottom of the website. Nobody was trying to insult anyone, and if they found that insulting then they need to lighten up.

valleyfairfanatic Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah, it was rude. You made jabbing comments about his age, and his potential inexperience in the amusement park industry. We know how to have fun and how to lighten up, but when nearly all the regulars in this forum say that your post was over the top; it most likely was. I would understand you thinking its sarcastic if it was one or two jokes, but writing almost 2 paragraphs to poke at another user's posts, expessially a kid's post, is simply rude. Not to mention your post in the " Dumbest things said on tpr" forum displaying the kid's post like it was a trophy deer that you hunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe at first, but once you went reaching and dropping PowerPoint into the conversation with a 13 year old you jumped the shark and it just came off as being a jerk. I certainly hope a 13 year old doesn't yet know the middle management hell called a PowerPoint presentation but obviously you think so.

coasterbill Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) ^^Oh good lord. I've been trying to diffuse the situation for awhile and I've been trying to leave but since you insist on piling on I want to point out that nobody outside of this thread full of people who have always been offended by everything was offended. So yes. If you find yourself offended by the term "PowerPoint Presentation" then I don't feel bad about offending you. Just the other day another 13 / 14 year old was banned and (deservedly and in hilarious fashion) called "one of the biggest idiots we've ever had on TPR." by Robb himself (which again, he deserved and everyone laughed) and nobody batted an eye but when I say the word "PowerPoint" with no personal insults people lose their minds. I direct you once again to the disclaimer at the bottom of the site. I didn't intend to offend anyone, but if you were offended I sincerely don't care. Especially when the guy I was ribbing has been totally cool about it and hit me back with some surprisingly funny sarcasm of his own. See... 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! ^Calm down and have some fun like this guy. Edited August 23, 2016 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
