We are opening new park and want your input!

Take Something that Cedar Fair Does well and Six Flags does not....keep your park clean....dont let trash build up....and make sure your employees are top notch and cater to the customer.

Also suprised nobody has mentioned this, maybe an animal show. I rember going to Sea World Ohio 2 years before being bought by Six Flags that they had a nice dog and cat show, and it was fun and entertaining. Family entertainment is at an all time high. (another reason people are mad at Geauga Lake because they have no animals).

Other things that could be considered, is scenery, clean parks, top notch staff (as said above), friendly staff, wide variety of food, nice flats, small coaster. Those are just some things that come to mind. A entertainer (like snoppy, taz, ect) would also make the little ones happy.

Families is truley where the money is, why have one spend when you can have 4 spend. And that is who you need to appeal to. Most park even with tall thrilling coasterstarget families. Most parks are family parks including Cp and SFGA. They have great rides but they want the people who are going to spend.

Welcome back, red train, how was your ride?!

Quality is the most important aspect when planning anything. Think "quality" and "what can I do to make the guest happy". It helps if you train your staff to think this way too.

True, Enthusiast don't matter a bit in overal attendance but they can be very helpful in advice on what works and what doesn't.

Chuck, who's been around and seen a ton of things that people enjoy and policies that work. I've also seen a lot of stuff that doesn't and just serves to upset people.

Yes, and if you look around at enthusiast events, we're mostly male, child-free and cheap.

Gee I wonder why that is...

Hardly the kind of people I want to attract to a park.

Ironic, isn't it?

Here's what you do....Buy a supercomputer ;)...Buy RCT 3....Build a model of your park...try it out....Input our ideas...and see what happens.

Kyle Says: Diamondback was a lot of fun! Made his first time at Kings Island worth it all!

Well Kyle, the coaster crashing in RCT3 might not be practicle in real life! ;) (As for the park in a whole ) its a good idea, just dont' get wickedly evil with RCT3! :)
