Couple of Grammar things

CP has GIVEN a rather GOOD explaination for many of the strange things going on


BTW, where do you go to school? (I graduated from Warren De La Salle in 98, so I played sports against most of the teams in the area, just curious as to where you go)

You'd wonder how I've been here for three years and not once has a person been so touchy on my grammar.

This is for the people who couldn't seem to make out what I posted before:
CP GAVEa rather good explaination for many of the strange things going on.

I know many of you disagree with me, but I think we are being a little to pessimistic about CP's current/future state. Like it says in my signature, "we're still talking about the best amusement park on the planet, right?" *** Edited 8/20/2005 4:00:48 AM UTC by Gomez***

Actually you've been here for 2 years. Unless of course you went under a different name, and in that case I've been here for three years as well.

^I was Dragster03 and ThePoint89 before my current name. And I'm dropping out of this topic since I don't agree with the views of others on this topic.

Its funny how young this crowd is... I was going to CP back in 78' and man, things changed.. The park has had its ups and downs. I remember in the early 80's, how the park guest ops sucked and compared to today, its returning that the magical form again.. What we got to remember is didn't Kinzel's main boys just retire or move on to bigger things? Could it be the new boys that just took over and decided to change things abit to see how the GP reacts to this?

I have one question, do you remember the guest ops peeps that would sweep the midways in those funny yellow outfits? What ever happen to that?

Late 90’s I think when they switched to the unisex uniforms and crews weren’t gender segregated . Haha, those things were hot ;).

That's what I didn't understand. At MF we still have to staff the Freeway position as well, so it isn't really saving them all that much money.

I assume that position is still staffed for Parent Swap and some special access correct? Dragster probably still staffs this position as well.

So the cost of operating Freeway in a limited capacity (just MF and Dragster) in late season would amount to staffing 2 carts for no more than 4 hours plus Pete’s donated stamp ink ;). Is there anything else we are missing? I know sometimes Security Guards or sweeps would help with line control, but those people are already working. That would be around $60 in payroll expense (Or what 1.2 people would spend there going on $50 per cap :)). Lines for those rides should still be around or well over an hour, especially on Saturdays. To me there is still some use for the system, plus it’s good PR and guest service.
