CE0 of HFE to appear on CBS's "Undercover Boss" 3/28

I watched the pilot episode after the Super Bowl and it was kind of interesting to watch. It was simialar to a show I saw on the Travel Channel years ago where somone in upper management spent a day at IOA. The difference between the two is the employees knew the guy was a big wig on the travel channel show. Anyways, figured I would pass this along since one of the portions will be at SDC.

I thought it was a pretty neat show. My favorite part was when the admissions guy whipped out Roller Coaster Tycoon and explained how he wanted to make roller coasters go underwater.

Why show Dollywood when you can show the flag ship?
It was shot in the fall so the waterparks were already closed.
What other attractions besides Wild Adventures could they have shown?  The showed Ride the Ducks, SDC, Showboat, and the Aquarium.  Anything else would have just been a repeat.

I still haven't had a chance to catch it. The program guide on My DVr was 30 minutes off. The one at IOA was cool because they had the guy go to the top of Dr Doom's Freefall (I think that's what is called anyway). Sounds like nothing that crazy took place on this.

Not a bad idea to do at a company. I remember the GM's of two Best Buys here in Omaha doing this at each other's stores a few years ago. As I recall, the results were pretty bad.

You can learn a lot about you're company, that's for sure.

I've been watching this show for a while now ever since I saw White Castle be the company that was on for that week. When I saw Herschend was up I was jumping up and down in excitement that a a company that owns so many attractions made it on. The show was great. Pretty cool seeing how much effort goes into some jobs like cleaning the park at night having to haul a hose around just to power wash leaves and other debris off the midways. It's pretty cool to that a CEO would step down like that from such a high job to work lower jobs to see whats really going on. Now I just need to finally make it out to Dollywood or SDC sometime.

Like I said previously, The show at IOA was not Undercover Boss, but an original one-off show that I saw about 5 years ago on the Travel Channel.
