I wanted to discuss some of the findings
from the General Public Opinion Survey that I posted the results of back in March…
Admittedly, I really did not spend long
coming up with the questions, finding the best platform to host the survey or
finding suitable candidates to answer it. But the results are still interesting.
I recommend having the results open as a separate window or tab to reference
whilst you read this post!
There’s this rhetoric that gets flung
around fan communities when speculating new rides, aiming to find a gap in
the experiences delivered by their current selection. This logic rarely bares
resemblance to reality. Canada’s Wonderland best illustrates this, recently adding
Leviathan – a taller version of Behemoth, ride they had only put in a few years
prior. So I wanted to find out if ride types matter to average guests. Do the
seemingly obvious comparisons between certain attractions occur to them?
The 230ft Behemoth (top) and the 306th Leviathan (bottom) at Canada's Wonderland are both the same type of roller coaster, built by the same manufacturer only 4 years apart.
