Jew Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Usually parks marketing teams are woefully behind the times, so it is great to see everyone jumping on the Pokemon Go bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 They're being VERY smart about this. The game may have staying power, it may not... but to be safe I think jumping in within the first week or two is a smart move. It seems like the parks are all scrambling to strike while the iron's hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Who else doesn't play pokemon go aside from me? LOL You are not alone! I have nothing against the game or those who play it, but I have no desire myself to download it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Who else doesn't play pokemon go aside from me? LOL I really don't understand the point of the people who seem to be priding themselves on NOT doing something. Here's a news flash for you - No one gives a crap. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of things that I don't do that other people do, but you don't see me making posts like.... "Who else doesn't listen to country music besides me?" in the country music thread? "Who else doesn't eat pizza besides me?" in some food thread, etc, etc... So here's the deal, if you play the game, GREAT! If you don't play the game.... WHY ARE YOU EVEN READING THIS THREAD?!?!?!? --Robb "Just can't stand pointless stupid posts from moronic people..."

chickenbowl Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 ^ Am I the only one here who doesn't like going to theme parks? Sorry that I'm just not into the roller coaster fad... I don't get why everybody here is so obsessed with getting hurled out of their seats. Is it just me, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Magic mountain announced 70 pokestops to all of the SEASONPASS holders Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I believe every Six Flags park did that. I love seeing so many parks and businesses utilize the craze to their advantage...everybody wins: the players and the businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I saw a billboard today for our local zoo advertising its Pokestops. If they can sell tickets that way, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Magic mountain announced 70 pokestops to all of the SEASONPASS holders I'm not sure I understand this. How can they be available to only season pass holders? The game has no way of knowing who has a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 ^ I'm guessing he means that the park told only season pass holders about these 70 pokestops.....like a heads up that they're there. I think the concept of this game is really great, and I love how it's getting people out and about and active! Hunting for them while at a park has to be pretty fun, as Robb's pictures from Sea World showed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftThrill Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I've heard Cedar Point has over 100 but I don't know if that's actually true since I heard it from some random non-enthusiast person on some random forum elsewhere and didn't bother to check.

LiftThrill Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 ^That's honestly really awesome. Seems like it's working as a marketing tool as well since non-enthusiasts are mentioning Cedar Point in discussions about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 ^If it's anything like the beaches here, you'll catch enough magikarp for gyrados by the end of the day. Near water they seem to be the most common spawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeT Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 There`s something that I`m not "getting". There`s so much discussion going on in this thread absout social problems that could be related to Pokemon Go. But why is noone talking about radiation? There are more and more and more things making the use of smartphones and handys attractive...while the World Health Organization (WHO) still says that handy and smartphone radiation could potentially cause cancer. So....would`t it be reasonable to always stay a little careful about everything that makes us use them even more? And if it could cause any kind of damage to brain cells (scientists are not sure about that, no long term studys yet, but it`s possible!) shouldn`t we keep those little machines especially away from our childrens heads?

Jew Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 At this point, there is probably a study out there that says roller coasters are bad for your health because of the G-forces. Everything is going to kill us and everything is going to make us healthier depending on who is funding the study... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously...this is such an absurd reaction, that I don`t even want to start explaning. Oh wait...I just forgot that the microwaves coming from our phones stopp 5 centimeters away from the phone and it does not matter at all how many people surrounding you are "radiating" at the same time But honestly...I shouldn`t be surprised about those reactions as I always got the impression that very little people here on the forum (is there one or two?) care about health subjects...
