I did enjoy seeing all that "overnight" work, if you've ever done anything remotely like that(foodservice, etc.) it's good to see it on the TV getting its' respect. Alot of people never slow down to thank those guys. And the lady on the phone, one rainy week on our cell phone had us recognizing her from the weather recording(!).
As for showing other parks, I'd rather just see the most popular of the crop. A special every few years like this, and even the MM one, are enough with programs like Thrill Rides and Scream Machines, they are literally all over the place. It's got to be expensive to get around, might as well go with the highest rated ones(via mag polls or whatever that Golden Ticket thing is). Besides, traveling too far away from a Six Flags park like MM may have you putting the same rides on in different places:).....

The Discovery Channel makes a lot of money off these shows and gets great ratings. Why do you think they run thrills, chills and spills over and over again. It wasn't a commercial for CP.
They left out some areas though....I would have liked to see more on games, merchandise (like the warehouses), etc. Just not enough time in a one hour show.
