ChrisZer0 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 For everyone griping, especially the crybaby who started this thread, about these park chains(esp. SF) making you pay more for everything, I look at it like this: When said park buys and pays for that superhypermega, under- track thrill rides with personal soundtracks and LIMs all the smart mouth tweens/teens and their mentally rattled parents want to ride, they're going to have to make a return on investment (ROI) to break even or even move into the black. Thats usually going to come from either higher admission, concession and souvenir prices. But, that doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay those prices. When I go to my local SF park,I get a season pass or use a discount on a coke can. I take my SIGG, which saves me on bottle water costs. If I do decide to have a pop at the park, I take my souvenir cup w/ me as well, which gets you a lowered savings compared to buying a drink without. If I decide to eat, I go out of the park and come back accordingly. See, its simple if you put some work into it. When it comes to line jumping, its a problem we see quite often at the non-disney parks. Do what I and others like the Alveys do, knock the little mouthy SOBs and their knuckle headed parents/guardians over, as they'll learn its not nice to cut in front of others its something I plan to put to good use when I hit SFMM, Knotts and USH this fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Rox Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 This person is crying about old news. Accept it and Deal with it. The experience is what you make of it. I think he thought we were an ACTUAL review site. Hence, Theme Park "Review". Lol. In Development! Never Ceasing to Amaze, Robb!! Right On!

coolcalicoaster Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think the guy did have some valid points while he was off on some others. Aren't we being a little hard on the guy for his opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmorton Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 ...the OP is long gone and has probably posted this same "review" on other sites as well... Yup. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2009/06/15/six-flags-at-half-staff.aspx http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/parks-3/54042-six-flags-nj-really-zero-flags.html#post792107 http://www.travelpost.com/hotels/Super_8_Atlanta_Near_Six_Flags/r1145274 ..and that last one is posted on a review of the Super8 motel near SFoG (you know the one that everyone is scared of!) Troll indeedy. (ain't Google clever these days!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll indeedy. (ain't Google clever these days!) That's pretty much evidence this person's not coming back. This person had a bad day, posted about it wherever it seemed convenient and just bolted.

RideOn87 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Wow. What did the Super 8 in Atlanta do to this guy? It's rating dropped even lower because of his review on travelpost? As for line cutting: 1) Ask politely for them to not cut the line. If they proceed to cut: 2) Bust out your cellphone and dial the park's main # (Gadv: 732-928-2000). Ask to speak with security, and let them know your location, and that you have a person/group that is cutting the line. Security will be giddy with joy to meet you and kick them out of the park, especially @ SF! Trust me, I've done it, the other guests will applaud your initiative, and you'll feel great!

robbalvey Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 And with that I'm actually going to lock this thread. There really is no need to feed a troll with the same ol' discussion that's been had over and over again. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
