Oh I agree, I will also visit the park, and continue to do so. Enthusiast, I may not be, but I try and take extra time through a certain part of the park each visit to bask in detail work.
Quite often times I'm not thrilled with decisions. However, I'm not privy to those decisions. So I must accept them, thick or thin.
By no means am I boycotting what they do. They have a niche in a local that they can exploit. Means good business. I spend my money and enjoy what they do (oorah). Sure, taking a criticism to enthusiast community gives an outlet, even perhaps the illusion of a voice. Maybe even a collective of the community rallies behind an improvement, but in my humble opinion, that's as far as it goes. Unless I see a BoD member come outright and say "I wanna know what you think!" I think it stays here. (Someone please prove me wrong.)
I would love to see some of the improvements some of this community have suggested. There are bright and talented people in here!
There is a way to make artistic ability and financials work together. A certain non-profit children's museum I worked for did that very thing and won a national medal. The question is, does BGW want to do that? Do they want to blend artistry with innovation and finances? If so, fantastic. Let's immerse ourselves in the 4 levels of details. If not, then I see not much changing than a few rides here and there and no new improvements to specials events such as CT.
And my apologies, didn't mean to blow up this thread, been a lurker for awhile, but seemed so negative. Appreciate what we got this year. Hopefully next year CT will be better.
