A. 4 - As good as can be expected given the people at the park and the resources the park has
B. 3 - On the whole, they don't go out of their way to be nice like Disney, but you cannot say that they are mean or anything
C. 3 - As good as can be expected given the resources the park has
D. 5 - Large kids area, plenty of flats, good selection of coasters, nice waterpark... can't complain
E. 4 - Coasters are distributed well, so crowds are distributed well.
F. 4 - You'd need to be Knoebels to get a five here, but considering competitor prices, it's reasonable
G. 5 - Individual tickets and season passes are veryreasonably priced and there are plenty of places to get discounts.
If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.

Did you evertake English courses? Apparently not.
Yes, and evertake is not a word. I checked my post, and other than one sentence fragment, which I ment as this is a conversation and not a grammar lesson (which was not my original point anyhow), my post was correct.
I wasn't asking if you had ever taken those courses. I was asking a rhetorical question, smart@$$.
I still don't see why you whine because some kid is doing an assignment. Thats right, an assignment. One that was assigned to him/her by a teacher. Lighten up!
'What has happened to Coasterbuzz' indeed.
A. 4 (for SF it's great but compared to Disney and CF I think it still needs some work, however it did improve alot last year.)
B. I never talk to them
C. 5 (they usually have as many trains running as possible and they usually laod and unload very quickly)
D. 5 (They now have a waterpark which is great for families, lots of shows, and they have at least one coaster if not more for every type of age group.)
E. 3 (The park always seems crowded no matter where you go in the park. Hopefully the waterpark will help with this a little.)
F. 3 (Its expensive but for what you'r getting I'd say its pretty fair for a theme park.)
G. same as F

Yes, and evertake is not a word.I missed a space between the end tag and take. Big deal.
I checked my post, and other than one sentence fragment, which I ment as this is a conversation and not a grammar lesson (which was not my original point anyhow), my post was correct."Did you never" is grammatically incorrect I believe. I'll see if I can find some proof to back me up.
I wasn't asking if you had ever taken those courses. I was asking a rhetorical question, smart@$$.If you say so. That's not how it came across to me, because believe it or not, we're on the internet. I can't see you, and I don't know your intentions, nor your inflection of voice. I understand that the guy was assigned a project. I just think it's the wrong target. If you look through C-buzz history, you'll find plenty of people who have been blasted by our "leader" for trying to give advice to [fill in park chain name, or park here], all because they think being a coaster enthusiast makes them an expert on theme parks and planning.
And by the way, I'm very proud of being a smart@ss. You started it:)

Jeff hasn't came here and said not to do this. Why? Because the scenario you described is not what is happening here. It is one thing to write letters to parks telling them the wrong thing, but guess what-this person is going about it the right way. If I was going to complain about a company to the company, I'd show them proof. That is how you get results.
That is what is going on here. You were trying to discourage someone who was given an assignment by someone with more authority over them than what you have. That was kinda wrong, IMO. They had the assignment, and by the responses here, I'd say picking SFI was a good choice. Guess what: Their guest exp. SUCKS.
First of all, I'm not the one who needs to lighten up. It's obviously TS who decided to come to the rescue of the person who started the topic. I've actually had a good laugh at some of the stuff being tossed around.
Second of all, who ever said I had any authority? You did, not me. That's BS since I don't even know the person, and I don't you either. I was just throwing in my two cents, which everyone does around here.
Third of all, again, this is coaster enthusiasts as a collective trying to tell Six Flags Inc. how to run their company. I don't believe it carries as much weight as you think it does. We would have seen the changes that we know would've made a difference a long time ago if that were the case.
How about we drop it right here? I'm man enough to walk away if you are.

Okay, so I asked my parents who both work in the school system about the phrase "Did you never". While not grammatically incorrect, my father considered it akward. He then added "People who speak English well, don't talk like that."
So you have 2 English/Grammar teachers for parents, then? Funny, I made a perfect score on both my ACT and SAT exams in English/Comprehension/Grammar. I was in AP & Honors English.
People who speak English well challenge other people with their speaking. If it sounds awkward to your father, then I doubt he'd understand much of what I say. I've been in public speaking since I was five, Did you never is appropriate as well as correct.
You were the one that broke the topic of the post by saying someone was being intrusive. Like I said, lighten up, it was a class assignment. Telling someone they shouldn't be doing it is an attempt at authority.
You now say 'coaster enthusiasts as a collective' telling SFI, when first you said one college student, your words, not mine. It doesn't matter if it holds weight or not, this is an assignment. It doesn't need to hold weight, it needs to be done for a grade.
Funny, it is okay for you to throw in your .02 cents, why can't I?
Walking and hoping I don't trip whilst doing so...

Okay, the comma after well is not needed, but you already know that.
Also, what is "I don't you either," because "People who speak English well don't talk like that."
My .02 have been happily thrown into the pot.
