efficiency is good,but people have grown waaaaaaay too impatient-everything must go at lightening speed :rolleyes:
Too many people are going and just wanting to pack in the whole park in a day,I think they are missing looking at all of the many details that make the park different than say, SFMM :cool:
This is why I love my pass, I can go and do rides or no rides,and either way I'm happy ;)


:flybongo: NO BULL!!!!!:D:

Hmm...I would suspect that part of the perfect nap would be that it is taken after eating some bacon. Because bacon improves anything.

On-topic, I have to say, that is one smart set-up. Reminds me a bit of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. I've spent lots of time, watching how the "peeps" flow through my parks, tweaking the paths and transportation in order to get good coverage in all areas...

Why do I feel that at some point we'll have a real version of WestWorld going down?
