belo777 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I love the "Fun and Only" song, always have. HATE the repetition and them using the same few flat ride pics on each commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chargersmichael Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Doed anyone know anything about Dinosaurs Alive? I can see this having a good first year of two but after that it will probably die down...then does anyone know if Mean Steak will get Rocky Mountainified in 2013 or a different attraction or coaster.

galindoverhere Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ^^ I heard Mean Streak will get a Topper Track... I'm also hearing D:A will stick around for only 3 years at it's least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ^ Why bother even putting it in then? Lol I know if I was managing a park, I would want my newest attraction to have a life span of atleast 15 years, not 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator305 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The Dinosaurs Alive attractions are 1 million dollar investments. They charge $5 to experience the attraction. That means only 200,000 people to pay for it to become profitable. 3 years seems reasonable to me as looking at these things aren't something that people are going to want to do every time they come to the park... eventually they are going to lose their popularity.

screaminkid2005 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) ^^ You also have to remember that they are going to need be maintained. If one of those breaks, chances are they are not going to be cheap to fix. Granted it will be profitable for maybe a year or two, but that's not something you should be spending a million dollars on. That million could have gone to general park improvements or towards another ride that would be more profitable.

Skycoastin Steve Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ^^No other attraction they have is going to bring in $10-$20K per day like DA did at Kings Island last year. ^Not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to confirm it with the Chick-fil-a guy. So it's definitely true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 ^What do they know at Chick-fil-a? Honestly, I don't see why a short term attraction is such a controversy. The shows there don't even last that long. Plenty of businesses, museums come to mind, have plenty of short term attractions that aren't supposed to last that long.

galindoverhere Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Some photos of Cedar Point in the winter have been posted up, and you can check them out here: MOD EDIT: linked removed as owner previously spammed TPR Edited January 23, 2012 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyEisentrout Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Not to be rude, but they are mainly just pictures of Sandusky and the bay. Nothing is really visible but the skyline and there is nothing that interesting about it. Sorry, but it may just be because I can look out my back window and see the same thing.

galindoverhere Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I agree, but it's kind of interesting for me at least since I don't see many pictures of CP in the off season floating around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPOLMike Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Here are the links to the winter photos. It was hard for me to get good photos, I didn't have a good camera and the poor weather and inability to get close to anything didn't help. To the Mod that has something against me, in no way was my original post intended as spam and I apologize for any confusion. Robb has frequently posted on my site (CPForums.com under username "robbalvey") creating new threads about upcoming trips and reviews. I always embrace these types of posts and welcome others to share their experiences on my site. Again I apologize and hope from here on out everything will be okay. -Mike Edited January 25, 2012 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
