Team Heroes - Stanza V: Patch 'Em Up

Here's a question to help us, which parks would put Villains at a disadvantage?

Anything that @D Hindley has been to on his recent trip should be off limits to villains:p

No Holiday World, Kennywood, Hershey, or Morey's Pier (so we take those)

Easy decision there;)

I think it is important for everyone to respect and follow @James G. , or else this massive thread will fall apart.

I went to Morey's Piers as a kid every summer for four years or so. After we outgrew Wildwood we started going to Hersheypark. I know both these parks well and would be able to provide insight into each.

Morey's Piers has three piers, each with rides. There is no themeing besides a few rides, none of which connect to each other. Each pier is disconnected by a long strip, filled with tacky shops, restaurants, and arcades.

I recommend we NOT do Morey’s Piers because to make it a major vacation destination would require completely demolishing the current infrastructure.

Hersheypark, on the other hand, is more developed. It has 14 or so coasters and separated “lands”. But don’t let that fool you- the lands aren’t themed, besides the Wild West one which just uses wooden buildings, cowboy logos, and country music. Very low theme, but lots of potiential to turn into a Disney inspired location.

I DO recommend Hershey. The other six I have not been too, so I cannot say.
So the diabolical villains may have gotten a bit of inspiration from the OG villains (@MonorailRed and myself) :p

Stanza V is typically a free-for all -- if you'd like to see the results from last season I linked them here

My suggestion with this challenge is to think beyond the park itself - but to the area...because a 'vacation destination' is more than just the park, but a place to stay.

To stay, you need resorts.

I'd recommend at least one of our 4 options be a hotel, as Red and I ended up doing that for our project last season, and the rules this season are flexible just like the previous one.

Morey's Pier, being oceanfront would be a perfect place for a family resort hotel addition to make it feel more like a destination and not a day trip for example.

TEAM HEROES!!! Yep, I'm here and getting myself organized- and just changed my pants when I saw the villainous evil that Team Villains foisted upon us! The Villains, and those formerly known as Team Warriors, know well my Achilles Heel- I am not a very computer savvy guy. All the Warriors can probably say this in unison with me- "I'm so low-tech I'm almost Aztec". The Villains chose me to Project Manage this Stanza for just that reason- they want to exploit my weakness...BUT they forgot that, if you shorten my title, it becomes PRO MAN!!! I've been doing competitions similar to this for nearly ten years, and while I can hardly post a picture I can write and research and organize. Heroes, WE GOT THIS!!! I'm going to need all of your help, and support, and hard work, but we can do this!

OK, now that the pep-talk is over, here comes the "I need your help" speech. I'm going to need to know as much about your talents as possible, what your strengths are and what your- uh- non-strengths are. First, though, we need to chose our parks, and chose them wisely. Some of you are already making your preferences known, and that is terrific. Listen to each other, post your choice, and remember that if someone has been to a park that you don't know and they like it or don't like it for a reason, listen to them. When I've heard from a majority of Team Heroes from both FORMER teams I'll post the four parks that we're going to transform and CLOBBER the Villains with. Ignore trash talk they might spout at us. They're Villains, remember? Let's hear it from everyone- chose the parks that you want to super+, and if there is a park that you absolutely know is the wrong park to use, SPEAK UP!!

On the tech side, we can all chip in, but if you need assistance just tag and we'll do it

If you can be our thought organizer - we'll handle the tech side

Also if anyone is lost and looking for research -- literally look no further than this link above, and just read through the projects.

Looking for how to organize it? Look at last season

This challenge is only daunting if you make it that way. With being disorganized, all over the place etc.

So with that - the personal schedules I think would be good to inform our mighty leader James about, especially from the nemesis turned ally team.

For @James G.
From Team Princes, @Pi on my Cake will be back from a trip on Monday, so if you don't see him around that's why - with it due the 21st, he'll be active on the back end of the round.

@PerGronStudio is also away as he mentioned.

As for myself - I have a massive exam coming up Wednesday the 20th - so in terms of activity, I'll be able to help organize/get stuff together - all of my work though will have to be done post-20th, which is not an issue, just I wouldn't assign me a massive component of the project and expect regular updates throughout the week.

First of all- thanks for that information! It'll help to know who's got conflicts. Something else the Villains cursed us with is having this challenge over this weekend- I'll be working most of the day Saturday and Sunday, but that means everyone can work on whatever projects they have without my bothering them!
Second- we need to organize how to chose our parks. Throwing out ideas is great, and helpful to all, especially for most of us that haven't been to most of these parks. First thing I'll ask for- what is the best way to set-up a simple voting system that everyone can go to and vote?
It needs to be something simple, where each Hero votes for their 4 favorites (or at least which parks they like if they don't have a favorite). If I can't get a consensus by- let's say- tomorrow morning, I'll make the decision based on what information and suggestions I've received (including my own opinion). Is there any disagreement with that deadline?

I can make a vote! I did before for lego. It did end up helping, even in a way I did not expect.

Here's the thing, we have to choose one from each category, Holiday and Morey's are fine, but Kennywood and Hershey are in the same category, we have to choose one or the other, as well as choose between SDC and Dollywood.

Before we vote is there a preference as the manager that you'd like?

Voting is good, but then again I feel like the people who should have the most say are the people who will be the most active/knowledgable.

We jump to voting we may give away a park that we can do something special with.
