RE: Roll Out the Barrel (2015 to Present)
You'd notice at KI, when they screw up, it's pretty drastic honestly, and sometimes quite sad.
I have seen the previous posts here on various threads, and again, I used to go to this park quite a bit. I used to make multiple yearly trips. Military service kind of stopped that for a bit, and then college post military, stuff gets hectic. Now with some free time, I venture back, and still impressed. Do I see some faults in the park and how things are done, oh yeah, the park isn't flawless. Operations at BGW are a joke. Seeing Griffon stack repeatedly and can attribute to ride ops being sluggish, yeah it's disappointing. Compare that to rides at CP that dish out hours where the rides hit capacity, yeah it's sad. B&M's should never stack, just, never. Then don't get me started on Soarin' lol.
But I think the issue is seeing people complain about good, it's a good show, you admitted it. Yeah there's been great stuff in the past, but when you're there constantly you get jaded and complacent. Like I said, trade me parks, the flaws I see at BGW are fixable and minute compared to KI where I have a list thats been piling up for years. Like reading the rumors area seeing how many people want to get rid of Pompeii. Just, it's crazy to think that many here are so critical of literally one of the best rides in it's category.
Your park destroys damn near every park in the chain. Even me being a crazed Cedar Point fanboy and have worked the park for a whole season, I even wish BGW was my home park. You have great rides, theming, shows, food, and atmosphere. It hits everything right on the head. Like I saw today some other thread someone wanted more theming in front of Verbolten even though it has the car and queue house and stuff. That ride is above and beyond in terms of theming and is almost Disney level stuff for a regional park, it's perfect. To see y'all get critical it kinda hurts to see it. Again, y'all are so lucky you can go whenever I'm envious. I'd trade all of the CP live e except for Luminosity for Roll out the Barrel. At KI you can have everything minus Cirque (not even produced in house) and I'll take that show.
Yeah it may mess the layout up and be dark to eat in, but show wise, you have almost broadway esque entertainment for a fraction of the cost and then so much more to do even after that show.
