OnPoint not as active as last year

Looking through the past posts of On Point, I realized that they are no where close to as active with posting as they were last year.

Last year they had a post AT LEAST every week (with some exceptions) I for one would at least like to see some progress with Maverick or even some behind the scenes items on the park being put to sleep for the winter.

Cutbacks... ;)

Well, I think they need to have blog days. Once a week on a specified day they will have a blog.

Leave it at that and boom no more "Where is the new blog".

Actually for me, I don't mind the amount of blogs. As long as they are interesting, and the last few blogs were not really all that interesting to me.
It's Quality over Quantity :)

I really don't see any issue with it either way. It really doesn't matter that much to me.

I agree they need more blogs

There really isn't a lot of material for them to write about, honestly, and still keep it interesting.

Yeah, they already covered the offseason winterizing process last year. What's the use in repeating?

The only thing I want to see are those darn trains!!;)

As much as I would like to see more frequent posts, the only interesting thing that we haven't seen at the park that the GP might be interested in or have questions about, is the construction of Maverick.

As much as I would like more posts, I think they don't really have all that much that would be interesting to post about other than Maverick, and that could get old after a while, with nothing but Maverick updates.

Wait, I just thought of something, a look inside the gigantic, ugly, warehouse that houses Avalan...err...I mean, Disaster Transport. Places other than the queue line. Like parts of the ride, what they keep in there, etc... *** Edited 11/27/2006 3:40:07 AM UTC by BlueStreak64***

I believe they did that already...

I bet i could walk threw the park right now and find many interesting things to post. I understand T&T are busy, but if they are really busy, they can hire me and I will run the Onpoint! haha

No, really, there isn't much that can be interesting going on around the park. Seriously.

If cleaning garbage cans is interesting, ANYTHING can be interesting. :) There's plenty of construction things going on with Maverick that could be covered. Holiday World talked about everything on the ride, and it was cool. Plus, there's so much that we don't fully understand about the ride construction process.

I still don't see what the big deal is. Everyone on the marketing team has a job to get done, and right now that job doesn't revolve around the blog.
Couple that with it being the holiday weekend. I'm sure they took some time off, because after all, they are just regular people who need vacation time and again, too.

When there's something that's "blog worthy", I'm sure they will get around to putting it up there.

C'mon Tim. Construction of a ride isn't much different from any other construction.

Develop plans. *
Build parts.
Assemble parts.
Check assembly.
Fix errors.
Fire error makers.
Re-fix errors made by those doing the checking. *
Cross fingers.
Test.
Fix stupid bugs introduced by the guy you fired 3 months ago. *
Rehire error makers as management and have them oversee fixes.
Cross toes.
Test.
Repeat the last couple steps until product works properly. *
Release product.

(* - denotes items that may be made optional at management discretion).

Okay I read the blog post about DT and they never did answer what the 12E was, what does it stand for?

Read the entry that is 2 after that.

Here's what 12 E means
