Tango
« on: April 04, 2009, 08:58:39 PM »
I must be out of the loop, but why is Tango blocked off as if it doesn't exist?  I notice it's listed as defunct on the Ride Status page as well.  Seems strange to have a ride so visible to everyone to be closed off like that.

Supposedly from what we hear the ride wasn't even supposed to be there anymore, but they didn't get to removing it in time. It's just not functioning anymore so they are taking it out.

The real question is: if it does get taken out, will it be replaced by another ride, or a smoking section.

Another mild ride that was a hair above the kiddie rides but not overly thrilling for the little ones bites the dust.  Hopefully it's just mothballed to ride out the economic mess were in.

Thats what I'm thinking too Wade.  I think that all of these unsigned rides are really just going to stay there all season without being moved or operated.

The ones you know may not care, but some people actually do enjoy those rides.

Yes.

There are thousands upon thousands of people that visit the park each year, and I am sure many of those people enjoy taking their younger ones on Tango. Just because you do not like a ride does not mean everyone else in this world feels the same way.

Let's see, I have a 1, 4 and 6 year old and they were definately asking why they couldn't ride tango last saturday. Don't be so self centered. The park is already lacking intermediate rides as it is.

Why is everyone debating this with a 13 year old.  When never used to have these problems on this site.
