It's actually a decent article but, I am still floored that they are looking to sell SFMM! I have to get back to the park this week. I haven't been back since media day :( On the good side, I am almost completely settled into my house :) Thanks for the Congrats Wade and Chuck.

Do we really want 4 million people to come to the park?  That would kind of suck.

Good money wise but i mean, thats insane.

This is ridiculous. The park has had the worst operations in the past 10 years this year. Many, many rides down, taking out more flats, horrible stacking on many rides, line cutting at all time high with decurity doing NOTHING, and the characters get VERY annoying.

Except for the park looking cleaning, the actual operations have been horrid. The whole enthusiast community has been mocking us.

You sound like Cartman.  ;D

I think he wants smarter people to come back to the park. I think he's looking for people who would come for the family rides (to come?) the people who would appreciate the landscaping and the fresh paint (more to come?) and the people smart enough to come in April and May, summer weekdays and Fright Fest Fridays, like us  ;). The main focus of summer weekend crowds are to ride the big thrill rides and *maybe* wait in line, if nobody catches them cutting and if Security does their job. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

We just have to wait to see if Shapiro knows what a high capacity family-friendly ride is. Rumor has it, there's a wooden one with two tracks and 4 trains somewhere in the woods between all of the kiddie sections and B&Ms.

RJ, he's right. The Grounds Quality and Landscpaing departments are on the ball and Ride Operations hasn't got a clue. Where did I miss the introduction to the opposite sketches?
