Except, of course, as we all know, the decision to switch doomsday to neutered B-mode was entirely and exclusively due to guest feedback. /s

It was an example of projection mapping done properly though. The river scene projected on the sand was magic.

It's 100% how village like it. They basically set the price for how much they are willing to spend and showtime went away to develop a show for it. They were absolutely bleeding money with the first incarnation of HSD. The vehicles alone cost eye watering amounts to modify/maintain/keep running for the show, so when someone came along and struck a deal to take all that off their hands, they saw it as a blessing. It's just another example of their priorities changing during the late early teens. Within reason, when previously continuing to run police academy even after the guest numbers dropped off, then with HSD which replaced it, the main emphasis was on the show quality with running costs being more a secondary consideration. IE, they didn't want to see the guest experience suffer because they didn't provide enough $$$$$ to put on a decent show. Now? I don't think you could say that guest experience is the leading consideration in anything village do.

One of the greatest things I've ever experienced in my life is the queue for the Flume at Seoul Land. It's about a 90+ minute wait to get on the ride, the queue is just switchbacks under an awning (similar to Murrissippi Motors), but they have slim benches (maybe 8 inches wide) lining one side of the switchback all along the line. So you can actually sit down in the shade, while queuing and just slide along when the line moves. But to get back on topic, new 'Action' could be anything. It could be a street show, stunt show, showcase or just an announcement for a Doomsday replacement.

Village trying to polish a turd of a show.

Seems to me that VRTP seem to give them a bit of a free hand, because their stuff is so samey across multiple shows. Want a laugh? From their website: Lordy, lordy. Have mercy.

look up EBITDA reports when Village was still a public company. Literally shows you the operating costs.

I don't get why repainting these coasters is OK but repainting Whitewater World was considered as waste of money?
