qtv
They have their own master control setup. There is actually a department called QTV that handels all of the park's music and qtv. They are all in a tiny room deep within the employee only areas They also go around the park shooting b roll all the time using HDTV camera's. Really nice stuff. But someone does actually monitor all the equipment and they have a loop of AT, Beast, HB, and the general park feed. Im in a hurry so ill tell more later.

neat idea for Nick area
It still sprays water and everything. The slime maze closes down at 8pm. I wouldnt get your hopes up for to many big recreations like the entire pier. We could do it but the problem is NICK is a television station and those are television shows. Sometimes television shows last for years (rugrats etc.) sometimes they only last a couple years. So you wouldnt want to theme something big after a show that might not be around to much longer.

Im just going by what past history has said. Arrow once owned the market to. Its really all up in the air. Look at the buisness b&m has lost since intamin started designing the next gen hyper's. Those couldve been b&m hypers instead of intamin ones at six flags. Now b&m will have another boost since intamin has had a recent streak of fatalities but within the next 10 years theyll be doing stuff they said they wouldnt.

It took about 6-7 years for another hyper to pop up when they came out Just give it some time. Then again I wouldnt be surprised if alot of parks just went for the strata coaster title. But its all in time.

Im just saying that b&m doesnt even have that many hyper coasters. Im not talking about the next 2 years but over a 10 year spectrum they are going to have to step up their ball game. Im sure morgan has some plans up their sleeve's as well as premiere its almost completley obvious S&S is gonna be doing something. Intamin will always be going higher and higher (unless they go completley unwanted due to their restraint issue's). A few years ago b&m tryed to sell PKI the biggest tallest fastest and most inversions stand up. PKI laughed in their face and said no. B&M always lets other's do the prototype work for them. Look at how delayed their flying coasters where. They studyed vekoma's etc and found out what needed to be improved and they did it. Now I bet they are doing the same with intamin as we speak. But they do not do any prototype work themselves hardly. They took hyper coaster's farther and imrpoved them. Same with inverts, stand-up's. Well they did prototype floorless on their own. But they had already mastered inverted coasters which is very similair to floorless. Im just saying that look at b&m's past and where the coaster market is going.

B&M would do it. B&M is going to lose alot of buisness soon. All the parks are going to get sick of the same hyper coaster. Flyers are quickly becoming a thing of the past 2. B&M will be forced to step up the program. B&M feel's comfortable enough with launches that theyd do a coaster. Whether they did the actual launching mechanism or not they aggreed to make the coaster.
-

B&M did build the launch. Company's have contracts with things like that. They knew what Universal was going to do. It even goes straight into a zero g roll. Itd be impossible to make that with a chain lift. So B&M has made one launch coaster. They wouldnt have let them do it if it wasnt approved by B&M.

Theyd do it for the right amount of money. Maby this is a 2nd attempt at a 4d for six flags?

Be Glad you work at PKI and not PCar
Yea you are not allowed to ride any rides or partake in any attractions with any uniforms on. Unless it is a Test Ride. We are not suppose to let anyone ride with uniform on either.

Refunds
The people actually injured werent seriously injured at all it was blown way out of proportion. They just wanted to go to the hospitol to be safe I think one guy had to get a couple stitches. The people complaining saying they are gonna sue are some kids that were in the middle of the train that got blood on their arms and are saying they got cut up from it. But they were absolutly fine when they asked to do anything except clean them off at first aid. So unlike everyone else they are going to raise a big stink about it. Just ppl wanting money... Altho im sure the ppl in the front probly got some money from cp to not do anything.

Vortex Restraints
Yea that blew right over everyone's heads. Of course your going to use your head for saftey reasons but even if people dont use their brains their are fences there. Im just saying when you go to a park everything should be obvious as to what to do. You shouldnt have to know how to do something in order to have fun. You shouldnt have to know this part is gonna be rough and I need to prepare for it. You should be able to sit down pull down your restraint and ride and have a good time. Not worry about where on the track is gonna be rough.

Vortex Restraints
Of course you have to use your brain but you shouldnt have to think how to do something. If a park makes everything in its ability to be as obvious as possible it makes stuff more fun for everyone. Employee's and guests. You should be able to just go to a park and have fun. Not get banged around because you didnt ride a ride a certain way. I love Vortex to death it doesnt bother me at all im just saying noone should ever be expected to know to do something in order to make it enjoyable.

Vortex Restraints
If you go to a theme park you shouldnt have to use your brain. You shouldnt be dumb by any means but the last thing anyone would want to happen to a guest at a amusement park is for them to get hurt. They shouldnt have to know how to ride a ride to make it enjoyable. There is a reason why arrow went out and b&m quickly took its place on the coaster market... Not that arrow's arent nice Vortex doesnt hurt that bad and ive only known a few none enthusasit that it bothers. When you go to a theme park you shouldnt have to know anything everything should already be setup for you. I heard this saying from someone that heard it from siebert so I'm sure its not exact but im sure siebert would explain it to you if you asked him.
