Nearly 40 Six Flags Worlds of Adventure full-timers let go

My apologies to the Lemon chill guy for not getting enough credit.  Mr. Jeff, you are taking me a little to serious.  I agree there are several mom and pop family owned parks that are first class.  These parks have been in the family for generations and the top guns grew up in the business before taking over.  I am speaking of parks such as Americana (not open for the last two years, will it open this year?)  As you should know there are several parks ran worse than SFWoA and there are several ran better.  Six Flags Inc. or Premier Parks prior to the SF purchase ( a myth several people believe SF purchased Premier. When it was the other way around.) runs some very nice parks and will continue to address guests concerns at the parks that need attention, including SFWoA.  I understand what you are saying about the guest experience and agree.  What I am saying is there are a lot of people who think they have all the answers to the parks problem with out every working in a park *** This post was edited by bertjj on 12/19/2001. ***

Who here suggested they had any answers?

bertjj. If you are providing a service to your customers and they are unpleased, you better be prepared to listen, take notes, and act on it no matter how much you disagree with it. Without them, you are no longer, finished, and seeking other employment.

As a manager that you claim you are(possibly at SFWOA?), you are in a position to deal with complaints and put up with the headaches that go with the position. Dont expect an easy ride because its not going to happen. While I dont work in the amusement park industry(except when I was in highschool), I do work for a much more serious line of work in the service department. Customers complain left and right but we know that satisfying them means a return customer. If they go bye-bye then we go bye-bye. Simple as that.

I havent had the priveledge of visiting SFWOA so I cant form an opinion on the way the park is run but with all I hear day in and day out on this site and others with the same conclusion that this park needs a kick in the*****when it comes to service and customer satisfaction, the higher ups better open their ears and stand at attention to the complaints. "No customers, no park"!

On a side note, have the SFWOA higher ups come to SFGAm and find out how an SF park is supposed to operate.
