    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Did anyone notice if they moved the merge point? I feel like when I rode recently with express, we came in right by the preshow.

    Theme Park Careers

    I have to disagree with the people telling you to stay in NY. Follow your passion. Get down here, have fun in front line positions like you want to and start networking. I know a lot of people who have made it into creative or imagineering. Good luck!

    Incredible Hulk Coaster Refurb

    Why do they need nets at all anymore? If everyone goes through metal detection before getting on, that should have eliminated the falling loose articles issue.

    Is Rockit a Success or Failure?

    What would you want to see in a Rockit Refurb? A complete retrack? I think the ride is too new to have to invest that much money into it.

    Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

    Twister and Disaster both basically had no ride restrictions. So all guests including grandmothers and babies could experience these attractions. That's a huge consideration for the capacity of the park.

    Six Flags Partners with Samsung

    I know Six Flags is really excited to have this technology in their parks but it isnt ready for commercial use yet. There are a lot of things that need to be worked out still including integrating the system into the operation of a ride. Hopefully they disappear after this season.

    My Stay at Polynesian

    Next time... Ask a housekeeping manager to come walk the room with you. That isnt what you paid for.

    SeaWorld Food Rumor

    Where did this rumor come from? Food has always been something SeaWorld Parks are good at. I dont see them wanting to go outside the company for it.

    Is Rockit a Success or Failure?

    This policy isn't only in place for guests on the ground. It effects guests on the ride too. If a loose item flies back from the front row and hits a guest in the back it can seriously injure them that way too. I think everyone is just shocked that they took it this far. But in a few years after...

    2016 BGT Coaster Confirmed

    Don't they need to take care of Gwazi first?

    SeaWorld vs Activists

    When their entire company has been smeared for the last four years? This man lost his credibility with me. I dont care if thats a joke or not. That is foul language.

    Next Attraction To Go?

    Theres a lot of space between Spiderman and Hulk, where Doom is, but Doom is a great ride for what it is. Im curious to know why people want that removed before any other attractions in IOA like the entire island of Toon Lagoon or Lost Continent. And I don't think anyone is confident with the...

    Next Attraction To Go?

    I can tell you with confidence that capacity is literally one of the biggest factors considered in designing attractions. And yes throughput is relative. Yes Epcot takes in more guests but half of their park is a world showcase. All of those pavillions are attractions and give guests something...

    MIB "Immigration" Tour

    I've heard they take you and show you around the bottom floor and let you take pictures. You can also ask for a booth tour at Twister and they'll let you sit in the control booth and watch a show.

    Next Attraction To Go?

    I dont think they would actually keep up with that for long. And capacity..? Is a humongous deal. I dont understand how you could say it isnt.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    I think its somewhere in Orlando because I heard they did this for the Six Flags dark ride during IAAPA.

    River Country

    Has anyone else heard the rumor that Disney is considering a River Country themed DVC?

    Blue World Project - Orca Tank Expansion

    I like to think that SeaWorld has learned their lesson in overselling a product as they did with Antarctica. I just read an interview with Terry and he acknowledged that they didn't do the best job of advertising that ride. I think the concept art at this stage in the design process is...

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    I think Universal has been good with people moving for a long time now. Wait times aren't the only reflection of their efficiency. Transformers wait time will be about the same as last year. Yes there are more people in the park but they are much more spread out now that Diagon Alley is open.
