I know I tend to get into how something feels but it is not about the ride.

It is not about the nuts and bolts.

It is about the experiences.

It is about how everything clicks together perfectly.

It is about how a ride takes a location, a theme, an element and uses it all and makes memories that people are going to take with them forever.  The great thing that many in the industry can't see beyond the balance sheet is the more amazing memories you make for your guests they are going to want to come back for more.  Will Koch understood that and built memory after memory for his guests and turned a little park in the middle of nowhere into THE park to visit even for people in the little town where I live that is a six hour drive away.
