  5. Food Outlets

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I used to agree with this until FCC at towers, which serves as quickly as KFC with (imo) better quality food, and the customer service is far better than KFC. Sure, sometimes they can let you down but they're genuinely far more friendlier and just.. better.. than the franchised outlets staff. You don't generally realise how poor the previous staff were until you try out the new guys.

    FCC @ Chessie is a tiny outlet, not built for serving fast food whereas the old KFC/BK outlets are perfect for it, and I think merlin would easily cope with it should they take them back at thorpe.

    true, FCC at Chessington only has five till points which usually runs with five staff on at once anyway. Dont forget its a lot of big family orders coming through!

    I may not be able to talk about ride queues but I can however talk about these ones

    Ah, fair enough. :P

    It does seem to be case though that Merlin outlets are a bit hit and miss with speed, and it can come down to luck sometimes, but I just seem to be lucky!

    I agree with this. At Chessington especially from my experience the Merlin outlets (mainly Rameses Chicken Co.) have been ridiculously slow with queues, and somewhat over polite if that makes sense? When I'm getting fast food I wanna be in, say what I want, get given my food and be done; no faff.

    This shows everything thats different between Thorpe and Chessington, at Chessington F&B it's all about the customer service because units such as FCC and Pizza Pasta get so so busy compared to the like of Burger King, so what if they're over polite.. its just GOOD customer service, at a Merlin unit they'll say to 'enjoy the rest of your day', whereas at places like Burger King at Thorpe (and CWOA) the not very good English speaker of Asian origin will shout NEXT PLEASE before he's even handed over your fries.

    I'm actually pretty excited about going on The Swarm backwards, yeah It's a bit gimmicky ... but It's definitely not enough to pull guests through the gates.

    X retheme would be call... X has had its day and as much as everyone hates to admit it, it will never go back to the way it was, that ended years ago, the club/music theme on X would be awesome I think! I remember at Thorpe Blast '08 meet (Good times ;)) They had music on it then and it was loads of fun! Personally I think that'd be better than how it has been in recent years. But hey maybe I'm just their target market (who some of you love to hate)

    I think saying "lets go ride The Smiler" is nearly as laughable as when we thought it was "lets go ride Dylan"

    I'm not convinced, whilst yes it may be relevant to the theme and story behind the ride. Ride names almost need sell it to people before they even know what the ride is, it needs to entice them and make them want to know more about the ride. Personally I don't see how "The Smiler" will get people excited about going on the ride.

    Agree with everyone absolutely awesome advertising, the way its almost graffiti'd everywhere again means it'll stick in peoples minds. I cant believe how great they've done, as doing it like this is such a new and innovative concept for advertising.

    ...surely eventually a bigger advertising boom will come a long, like TV ads to explain what the logo actually relates to.

    I know very little about the ride itself having not followed the forums but dayumnnn that track looks good. Pretty excited to see what they come out with then give it a ride!

    As far as I can see Thorpe aren't advertising anything as a 'New Ride' so surely the seats thing on Swarm could be a possibility? Personally I'd love to see something done with X but we all know that's something, sadly, which is never going to happen.

    Just want to take a moment to highlight a great comment from the Facebook threads.

    Yesterday was my last day at my first job as I handed in my resignation letter two weeks ago. After eleven months I am now free to paint my nails and dye my hair any colour I want. Hoorah

    Don't look back ^_^

    Amy Winehouse, if it was a drug overdose, was self inflicted. Nobody made her take drugs. She did it herself.

    she was clearly suffering from mental health problems she was hooked on drugs.

    So, she finally died ey? To be honest, good riddance

    If she had died of cancer would you of said that? of course not. Should we be all crying and going mad because shes dead? Should we all crying and going mad because 92 people were murdered yesterday? Or maybe the fact that thousands and thousands of people are dying every day from the famine in East Africa?It is wrong to say good riddance to someones death. That's a very idiotic thing to say.
