I noticed today that all 3 flashlights in the car were permanently turned on and the buttons didn't do anything. Definitely a good change, with how many of the buttons had been broken or difficult to press.

And then they have to keep lowering their prices more and more every year to draw in people with low standards, like they did this past year. Doesn't seem like a great business strategy.

Can't forget that pre-merger Six Flags tried to get rid of the dining plan, because of the news story about one (1) person using it every day at Magic Mountain. It didn't go well for them, and they had to bring it back. If they're concerned about abuse, perhaps they should look into the giving away of used Fast Lane and All Day Dining wristbands that happens daily on Facebook.

Looks like another chef's special with no prior notice.

I think the problem with food is that they, as a chain, are trying to do two things, which are diametrically opposed: Act like their food is "elevated", "fancy", etc to try to get people to pay out of pocket for it Continue selling hugely underpriced dining plans because (as Disenchanted Parks is finding out) passholders will not pay out of pocket for food after having dining plans for 11 years, and raising the prices will only get the people they actually make money off of to stop buying them The thing is that a lot of the issues with food don't have anything to do with the chef or even really the park, it's corporate budget cuts due to the failure of the merger. Even the worst chef would admit that, say, selling a $20 burger that doesn't come with any toppings is an obvious fail, but the parks do it because it saves a little bit of money.

Didn't they just post a video with their other chef yesterday? 🤔

Is it really that hard to get the name of the park right on the food receipts?

Well, in all fairness, Universal probably doesn't take away benefits you paid for with no notice, so that's one difference.

Wonderland is now "sold out" (🙄) of season passes.

I like how the solution to the signs on the nearby map still saying Boo Blasters was to remove them, leaving rusty holes where they were originally attached.

Busy Saturday, and they're only running 3 cars on each of the trains to save on labor. Have a Cedar Flags day!

Meanwhile, on my ride just now, the first No Legs Larry, Hilda, and the second Maestro at the organ had no sound or movement, and the two unused flashlights in my vehicle managed to score around 300k points (in addition to my 999,999). Still fun, but I feel like that's a lot to not be working on a ride that's only been open for a month and a half.

I think the issue is two-fold. At the park level, they care, but they aren't given the resources to spend labor on things like cleaning tables, having a greeter at the Eiffel Tower so people don't mash the nonfunctional elevator buttons, etc. At the corporate level, they do not care, because, by the point you're in the park, they already have your money, so who cares if you have a clean place to enjoy your meal. Sad but true.

Careful, then people would try to relitigate trams being gone for like 20 years now.

The complete and total refusal to tow illegally, dangerously parked cars in the parking lot amazes me. Other than the people who park in the literal road in the row that only has parking spots on one side, you have the people nearly parking on the sidewalk in preferred, people parking in the new second exit lane from the parking lot, people parking in between cars in handicapped, etc. I know they need some quick cash- I'd certainly pay for footage of people coming back to find their illegally parked cars gone.
