SFGAMWorld Forum Poster Sadly Mistaken
We here at Absolutely Reliable News & Rumors wholeheartedly applaud the Six Flags decision to bring the Johnny Rockets hamburger chain to several of its park locations for the 2007 season. After all, what could be better for Six Flags than another understaffed counter-service restaurant with questionable nutritional value?
But as is the case with all earth-shaking announcements of this nature, incorrect information is bound to spread. Such is the case in this SFGAMWorld thread discussing the possible location of the restaurant at Great America. In this thread, the poster known as “Aaron084” states that he won’t mind paying $2.50 for one of the eatery’s soft drinks, seeing as how they will be offered in an “all-you-can-drink” format.
“W-what?” asked a stunned Six Flags Chairman of the Board Daniel Snyder during an unsolicited telephone interview. “Someone actually thinks Johnny Rockets is going to have all-you-can-drink refreshments? And for two-fifty? You’ve got to be kidding me!
When ARN&R read the online statement to him verbatim, Snyder excused himself for nearly thirty seconds, during which hysterical laughter and coughing was audible. When he returned, he asked “Why don’t you ask Aaron084 if he’d like anything else in the 2007 season? Free parking, perhaps? How about friendly ride operators? Maybe restrooms that get cleaned more than once every moon cycle? I’ll tell Aaron084 what I tell all Six Flags patrons; if you don’t like the way we do business, go pound sand.
“Two fifty for a Coke,” Snyder muttered before hanging up. “You’ve got to be f---ing kidding me.”
(In addition, the SFGAMWorld poster known as Cs5163 is the winner of the Absolutely Reliable News & Rumors Obvious Proclamation Award for the month of February for her statement “heck even a resturant that is strickly buffet I would like”.)

Now that is exactly how I do business (Dan Snyder style).
ReplyDeleteWhat I find funny is when those enthusiasts get a bunch of fattening food from a buffet (hey, that gravy also is fattening... not to mention all that sodium), then they go get a diet coke.
Of course, in most food establishments, you can get "all you can drink" for a lot less.
I just can't wait for a Redskins-themed ride in every Six Flags.
Is that Aaron the same Aaron who is the Wild One Aaron or what?
ReplyDeleteAnd what's wrong with diet Coke with other fattening things why add more to what's already there?

Why is it that every article for the last month on ARNR is virtually identical? Sure they change the name of the park and the park manager, but other than that it's like reading the same thing over again. It's always a phone interview with the manager who explains that they don't care about the park patrons, blah, blah, blah. Any chance you could come up with something original CMV? Just asking.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, this Aaron is not the same as me, although CMV probably thinks it is.
Don't forget the Enthusiast almost gets laid articles that have been reused about 5000 times.
ReplyDeleteCMV= UN-ORIGINAL
Sometimes I don't think The Boycott isn't whats killing them. It's severe boredom of repetition.
Funky
Yeah, and "we hate arn&r" for two straight years isn't repetitive?
ReplyDeleteMeg
Yeah... all that "We hate ARN&R... let's boycott it" has done is served to piss off a bunch of viewers to where they have to take it upon themselves and clean up the site.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, ARN&R has been rather prophetic... just look at Seven Banners... I mean Cedar Fair. While it's not actually called Seven Banners... and no other real name changes have come... the individuality of each park has almost been stripped as of late (similar logos... they even re-did Michigan's Adventure, even when the original Cedar Fair version was just fine).
AAARNR... on the other hand... seem to be blind to that fact. Yeah, it may seem to be repetitive, but all enthusiasts are repetitive... sorry to burst that bubble.
As they say... takes one to know one.
Oh yeah, and I know first hand Arn&r has NEVER ticked anyone off.

I'm guessing that "pissing off a bunch of viewers" was their goal.
ReplyDeleteDon't ya think?

Every media organization has ticked off someone at one point or another. However, AAARNR goes out of their way in hopes they quit coming here, then call it a "boycott".
ReplyDeleteAlso... I'm not stupid, t-coast.
ARN&R has never ticked anyone off?
ReplyDeleteI beg you to visit AAARN&R are read the sidebar link "THE REMAINS OF THE THREAD"
Our evidence is strong, Now ARN&R is weak.
DIE!
Funky
Oh yeah. Also, Arn&r WAS prophetic when they flung dung at Astroworld and then it closed (my former home park). Then there was that SF New Orleans slam prior to Katrina which turned out to be true. That was prophetic, too. That's all stuff to be proud of.

ReplyDeleteThis punk is one of the reasons I wish arn&r hadn't opened up these comments to let the dogs in.

ReplyDeleteThis loser is one of the reasons why I'll continue to hate arn&r.

Weekly is lame!
ReplyDeleteI prefer cigars, actually. As Aaron has pointed out repeatedly, glad to see the gay-bashing sentiments continuing on this site, though. Really I am.

Awesome. "Anonymously" flushed into oblivion.
ReplyDeleteT
No I didn't.
ReplyDeleteBut, your post was anonymously flushed. You remember... all that "after sex with the guys cigarette stuff."
ReplyDeleteT
Dang! I wish I could've actually witnessed the flushing of anonymous down the toilet. Oh well, I'm sure he'll post more homophobic stuff again soon.
ReplyDeleteThat or fat jokes. He's so predictable.
