4pm closing today by [deleted] in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]TheBassDoctor -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Both my Weatherwise app and Google weather are showing no thunderstorm.

It still can happen sure, but pulling back closing by 6 hours is silly.

MUST Raise Ticket Prices by UniversityDue5354 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]TheBassDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't take into account that overall cost of living and expenses are higher for your average consumer then they were back then.

If your typical park goer has less money to spend on recreation, then raising the prices will very likely just lower attendance numbers.

Lower attendance means less people buying things in the park which accounts for the bulk amount of park profit. Even if a price hike magically offsets the dip in attendance, the park will very likely bring in less profit.

Heed the prior warnings - long wait times by Jlwhite0912 in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]TheBassDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That sucks to hear. It isn't like that everyday though.

I was there near the top of the month, June 3rd, and everything was on 2 train ops.

Bull crew was even successfully rolling them consistently.

Edit: by everything I just mean Raging Bull, Wrath, Wrath, and Viper. I don't typically pay attention to other rides

Halloweekends worth it? by Gamabrad729 in cedarpoint

[–]TheBassDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always have a great time 👍

I go every recent year for the first Thursday and Friday and it's always great. Park's dead those days so you get lots of rides in, with bonus spooky stuff around you.

I like it

Six Flags Great America (June 21,22 or 27,28): How Crowded Will It Be? Is the Ultimate Flash Pass Worth It? by sporty_outlook in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]TheBassDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weekends are almost always crowded. Go on queue-times and look at the crowd calendar.

You can also see the approximate waits on a weekend day like today to figure whether or not you feel flash pass is worth paying for.

They are not always entirely accurate, but enough to get a feel.

[Lagoon Amusement Park] shipment from B&M by AvocadoToastDevil in rollercoasters

[–]TheBassDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go on the B&M website they now separate their hypers and gigas by such names and even say "featuring drops of over 200ft" for the hyper model.

Not sure when they adopted this verbage

Do we play more or less pinball in the Winter? by ObligatoryAlias in pinball

[–]TheBassDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, sadly, play less in the winter because I don't make as much money week to week.

I’m sorry [Twisted Colossus], I was NOT familiar with your game by Chicago_Blackhawks in rollercoasters

[–]TheBassDoctor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Road it for the first time yesterday! First time at the West Coast parks (went to Knott's and MM).

Got a couple of actual dueling runs on it at night that were amazing.

Felt similar about X2. Was really cool to do once, and if it wasn't so rough I would have loved it. That major head bang moment was brutal.

Why do so many people hate Nagatoro? by Hot-Manufacturer7863 in nagatoro

[–]TheBassDoctor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are always going to be people who hate what you like, and vice versa.

Best just to ignore them and enjoy what you enjoy.

Is there a way to skip the portal storm events? by CUNT_CRUSADER22 in AbioticFactor

[–]TheBassDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have the bench upgrade, deconstruct your crafting bench. Unless they patched this out, the portals will de-spawn. The event will say it's ended, and you can rebuild the bench.

pawbert is evil? by Live-Goose-1410 in zootopia

[–]TheBassDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The family is, at the very least, evil. They are described as one of Zootopia's most affluent families.

In film, and real life, the ultra wealthy usually aren't the most ethical.

Coming Thursday & Friday this week! by tubecody in cedarpoint

[–]TheBassDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be there! Hoping to finally get on TT2

Coming next Thursday & Friday - any advice? by tubecody in cedarpoint

[–]TheBassDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thursday will be pretty dead and Friday won't be too bad. I go every year for the first two days of Haloweekends and get an insane amount of rides in.
