SDG Informing You

SDG is still around- just lurking in the shadows...
Heard from an insider that SWE has cut BGW loose and told them they have to generate their own funds, no more money coming in. This goes for next year as well. Seems there will be some big changes as to how things are done (or not done). Another insider said that SG takes a vacation after Hallowscream starts and before Christmastown gets started preparing. So, his absence may not be indicative of a move. Sadly...
If SWE cut BGW loose wouldn't we know about it by calling? Really no need to hide that bit of info from the public as sooner or later they will find out the truth for those that do EZpay for passes. Also there could be some truth to this as prices going up higher than normal on some things to get the extra revenue in.. hrmm I don't see nay logical reason for SWE to do it and not tell those whose pockets they dip in every month.
Keep in mind, when it is said they cut them loose it does not mean they are physically separating one park from the chain. They just are not funding them as much as they have been, if at all. The park actually puts a lot of money in savings, so I imagine that they could dip into that to try and equalize prices so that they can slowly raise prices instead of a huge price hike out of nowhere.
As far as EZPay is concerned, they still have to keep their contracts unless the product is not offered any longer or they have some escape clause, meaning they will more than likely continue to do EZPay. It is steady money rolling in as opposed to the fluctuating profits of single day admission tickets.
I see no immediate reason to cut our heads off and run around. Let's not blow this situation out of proportion.

no state of panic here.. this is in the rumors section so everything is taken with a grain of salt until proven true..
Yes, because we have been known not to flip out in a state of panic at the slightest rumor.
Cline is still overseeing auditions and casting. HOS speaks for itself.
Scotty G and Friends are at it again! But first let's back up. We all know too well how great Busch used to be and it's loyalty to all. In turn they had the loyalty of their employees. As a performer you never wanted to break a contract because you end up burning bridges and developing a bad reputation that gets out in the entertainment world. Also no one wanted to quit Busch out of respect and it was an awesome place to work. Now at first chance at another gig people quit left and right. We all know why so there is no need to rehash the reasons.
Pinocchio in Entwined has quit and one of the MIU color guard is rehearsing and filling the spot. One of the male Oktoberfest dancers has quit and now the Tuba player is quitting. I will not get into the reasons why but what was said to the last one quitting is the shocker. One of Scott's minions has stated that it is a new "Policy" that anyone that quits is not allowed to work at ANY SEAS park EVER AGAIN.....But after three years you can fill out a dispute resolution to try and be rehired...what???....wait what?!?
Without analyzing that because it seems pretty self explanatory of how stupid and contradictory it is, let's talk about the "original" policy that is actually written. Anyone that quit any park was ineligible for rehire only one year to date. Let's not talk about how many people have been hired at Busch ENT that didn't have rehire status because it suited Scott's purpose and was their only resort. They also repeatedly called a performer that quit last year trying to get them to come back this year but she kept turning it down.
Scotty Scare Tactics! He knows how hard it is finding performers now and is desperately trying to hold onto people by creating even more fear which is one of the reasons they quit silly. And by the way if you are pushed to the point of quitting then why in the world would you EVER want to come back. Scaring them into thinking they can't is not going to work Scott.
Now that no one can work more than 6 months anyway gives ALL employees very good reason to skip town when they get another offer. When Seas decided to get rid of everyone's 401k and reduce all wages and kick them to the curb after 6 months, what did they expect would happen. We all know they are broke and probably couldn't afford it anyway but any smart person knows you have to come up with SOME answer to the problem at hand and what future problems will arise due to your incompetence. But I guess I just answered my own question. Incompetent...in case YOU didn't know the answer.

We heard rumors MIU was instructed to stop ALL audience participation so guests would give it less favorable reviews. Then, all of the participation will be added to LR to boost it's ratings. This so people would like LR more. Can anyone confirm?
I can confirm, after seeing it this Sunday.
EDIT: If you were confused I didn't mean in the future, I meant I can confirm now, after I saw it this Sunday.

I wonder what they're going to do to TIO? Take out the line where he specifically tells you to participate? Exclude the part about 'good fun?' Not tell the audience to sway back and forth, and sing along? Stop the two songs in the bench show version where you pat the tables and clap along? Not dance with the crowd during The Beer Barrel Polka? Stop running around with kids during the 'Happy Wonder' song? Stop doing the chicken dance?!!!
Now that I've listed every crowd participating thingy in TIO, how are they going to stop that without stopping the show entirely?

I know that Mix it Up no longer does audience participation. However, I would not be surprised if that was the reason. As pitiful as it sounds, they have pulled that one many times before.
