What is wrong with skyhawk

Christ on a cracker.. you are ridiculous.

I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you would indeed lose the ranch on this one Guru.

Please, do tell. I admitted my bet is based on a wild educated guess. Do you have concrete evidence to the contrary?

Says the guy who makes crap up as the gospel and insists the park is doing everything wrong. The park doesn't owe anyone anything. Most of us have been visiting the park and having a fantastic time there instead of being a whiny ***** on a silly website.

Don't you have some perps to babysit?

Yes, Lets just say I heard it from the lemon chill guy.

I have a fantastic time at the park as well (as long as park management does their jobs and makes sure the rides are running) . Jeff and Walt do a tremendous service and the website is enjoyable as well. I don't know why anyone would take anything I say as gospel. All I have ever repeatedly said it is my humble opinion from a slightly different perspective.

To clarify one more time. Customers don't owe the park anything. The park owes customers everything. If not for the customer, the park wouldn't exist. Customers would always find another way to entertain themselves. Customers spend their money by determining how to get the most value out of their hard earned money. Advertising is a form of a promise. If the park advertises a fun attraction, then the customer expects to be able to ride the attraction. If the park says no, then it broke the customers trust and gets less value then what they expected from the advertisement. The more people annoyed with receiving lousy value, the less people return to the business. Such is the rule in business. Unlike those lazy government workers who get paid to do nothing all day.

My second bet would be someone was supposed to order the part; but, they forgot because they were having too much fun enjoying their 6 months off. Then, no one realized the part didn't come in until opening day. Does the lemon chill guy say I'm getting warmer?

Pointguru:The families that go to the park once a year (GP) do not even know that Skyhawk exists until they happen upon it. When they realize its closed they shrug there shoulders than go ride Maverick. IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO ANYONE EXCEPT YOU. If 76 cents makes or breaks your day than you need to shop around for a new job.

Seems to me I'm not the one who started this thread or the only one who commented that it's a shame the ride didn't open yet, or is wondering when it will finally open.

I'm beginning to understand what the problem is now....

why do we keep feeding him? sure it was fun at first.. but when he gets every thread off topic, this is too much, far too much!

I found a closer / better picture for you. All these people also think the park has really good customer relations.

I wonder why the trees have no leaves on them. Hmm...

I can tell you that picture was taken while the park was closed. Either pre or post season.

Shut up, Rob.. stop enjoying your free time and go fix the Skychicken, already! =P

Saw the ride operating briefly today (testing, no riders). Later when I walked over to it to have a look-see one of the cables was hanging loose, so clearly not do working on it.

Ok, PointGuru so are you even saying if a ride goes down for a half a day should we all be paid for a 1/2 day lost. With this thinking management would be spending all day handing out and tracking ride up times.

Now onto Skyhawk. Stuff happens and no the park would not look on the side and shop around for the cheapest part. Most ride parts are made specific for a type of ride and delays do happen. Welcome to life and the fun of running a business. Per example when I was the Dietary Manager had would do food ordering, lets say a particular item was out of stock should I blame the distributor and throw a fit all the time it happens. No I shouldn't unless it happens all time.

Now to the rest of the poster's on here can you only imagine his responses and comments on TTD disastrous opening year.

Also before you say people on here have baseless and stupid opinions look at how long he has been a member on here and also the age of the person.

This is the perfect example of an ignorant person or someone trying to start a flame war. I don't think KHTO even read my post before deciding to spew irrelevant information. 1) Skyhawk has been closed for over 7 months, not 1/2 a day. That is inexcusable by any definition. The only one to blame is park management, it is solely their responsibility. If they did their job in the first place then maybe they wouldn't have to track so much down time. No one on this site seems to know what is taking so long. The only hint we got was Tony basically saying someone in park management screwed up big time. I don't want that person fired, just make sure they do a better job and make sure it never happens again. Problem is, this type of poor customer relations isn't just condoned by other management, it is accepted by people on this site as well.

7 months? I guess if you include 6 months of the off season. How in the world did you read that someone in park management screwed up by reading Tony's post?

Again, you have nothing to back up your claims as usual. You can't even read a post from Tony objectively.

Tony didn't say someone in park management screwed up, he said there was a mixup BASICALLY ,this doesn't mean it's park managements fault. You should know by now it ticks people off when others take obvious information and warps it.
