This might be pretty useless for most but I found it very interesting. First let me say, not one bit of me ever doubted Cedar Fair. With that said, I now, more than ever, realize how much Cedar Fair knows what the heck they are doing.
As some may know, I work at a radio station where one of my responsibilities is keeping up with the station's facebook page. We have over 105,000 people 'like' our page.
I posted that picture with this caption: "Carowinds Amusement Park just announced their new 2015 attraction: The tallest and fastest chain-lift roller coaster IN THE WORLD! 325 feet high, 95 MPH down a near vertical 81 degree drop! You riding?"
- In three hours, our post reached over 50,000 people.
- Over 500 people have shared the post (not counting comments that include friend's tagged).
- Over 800 people have liked the post.
- Over 200 people have commented on the post.
- Not one person mentioned it being similar to Intimidator (smart people).
- One person said it was a Millennium Force clone (OK, maybe not too smart).
- Most of the posts include tags of friends with something along the lines of, "OMG, Season passes next year?!!!!!1111one"
- A lot of people mentioned getting season passes for the first time in years, if not ever!
- Others said they will visit for the first time since the 90s.
- A few said, "Awww hell naw!"
- They will easily make their money back on this investment.
EDIT: Feel free to move this into the main thread if you think it belongs there. It probably does.
