(This boat ride is relaxing. I'm surrounded by beauty. I love the Animatronic animals. Oh ha ha ha. Real funny, dumb pun.) 3) Happy. (Oh, man, I love this ride! No wonder it's still here! Awesome!)

I'd much rather be asked one or two questions when exiting an attraction/ride than trying to come up with written words 2 weeks later about how I felt when exiting Innoventions.

People are funny... they'll gladly provide an email address, but bawk when you ask for a zip code. Really??

Originally Posted By DlandDug I would be pretty certain that the questions about Indy are the "control" questions. There's almost always a set in any survey. They lull you into answering the most obtuse stuff. As in (choose the control question): A. Which do you prefer, spider bite or hit with a tire iron? B. Do you like hot soup? C. Would you allow acid to be thrown into your face? D. Which is your favorite Stooge?
Originally Posted By FerretAfros A. Spider bite, by far B. Hot as in temperature: yes. Hot as in spicy: no. C. Maybe. Orange juice is an acid, and as much as I'd prefer you didn't thow it in my face, I'd prefer it sulfuric acid. D. Moe (though Curly-Joe gets an honorable mention, just for being the 6th of the Three Stooges)

Generally, if people want to gripe, we're supposed to direct them to the main website (or Town Hall) and open up there. Our exit surveys (done when people are leaving) will ask specific "on a scale of..." questions about the rides they experienced that day, but that's it, and it's mostly in consideration for time. We have a LOT of surveys to do in allotted time frames (anywhere from 2 to 20 per hour), so there's not a lot of time to chat beyond the questions.

There is one specific question that asks (not verbatim): "On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being 'not at all' and 10 being 'very much so', how would you rate your experience here relative to admission prices paid?" The majority of people rate it 8 to 10, meaning they got excellent value for money... even those who scrimp and save for months to get the family in (plus food, etc). No wonder the prices keep going up! It's directly connected to these surveys... start giving lower scores, and prices might actually stabilize or perhaps even come down! That's why we ask the questions.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance "No wonder the prices keep going up!

I doubt it's related to the questions asked on surveys much at all. It makes more sense that it's directly related to ticket sales. If they keep selling and packing the park everyday, they will keep jacking up prices regardless of the survey results. If 100% of people say they aren't getting enough value for the price but yet ticket sales continue to climb, the prices will continue to climb as well.
Originally Posted By tashajilek Like they care if you think the prices are too expensive. I was at Islands of adventure and i paid over $200 for 2 people to ride almost nothing. People were screaming for their money back and people kept on piling in by the thousands. Companies like Disney and Universal dont care if you dont like their prices as long as you continue to come.
Originally Posted By Bob Paris 1 I would be interested in hearing that story Tasha. What time did you arrive? When was this? Did you buy single day passes? I would be surprised if an experienced theme park afficianado like yourself arrived late at a busy time of the year and paid single day prices(who does THAT?!?)and then expected DCA-like deserted conditions. As Pauline Hanson once said, "Please explain".
