I never frequent the Haunted Attraction web site and I can’t post on the message board because my IP address is blocked! A friend heard me talk about TW coming to Vegas next year and forwarded Leonard’s blog from his website. I was alittle confused to say the least.
First it sounded pretty good. He stated how great the show was. In fact he had to Overnight stuff in because he ran out!!! It was sounding like Mr. Pickel was seeing the light that he could merely attend a show and be thankful it was successful for him…. That’s what I thought….
Then in typical fashion he begins to slam TW, trying desperately to twist it o the benefit of his own show….. didn’t he just say he SOLD OUT of everything????
Why is it that TW doesn’t feel it is necessary to slam HC or MWHC or Ironstock or Haunt X to be successful? MWHC and Ironstock have never found it necessary to slam anyone to run their show? In fact only TWO shows have found it necessary to try and succeed by slamming the competition, HC and Haunt X. Haunt X will never have a chance to see the error of its way since it shut down so what’s with HC?
Maybe Mr. Pickel has forgotten how he got where he is today. He would never had been able to sell his magazine had it not been for TW. He would never have been able to claim to be a expert and a consultant had TW not let him speak at their tradeshow. HC would not have any vendors at all if he was not allowed to roam the aisles of TW and recruit them.
So why on earth would he find it necessary to “bite the hand that has fed him”???
I find it in extremely bad taste to be so hypocritical. I also find it offensive that Mr. Pickel finds to necessary to distort facts and when necessary invent facts to push his cause. To quote Mr. Pickel, “And will the people who attend the convention make it to the show floor at all with so many outside distractions. And if they do, will they stop to talk to exhibitors or be rushing off to a show or to gamble.”
How stupid does he think people are??? Vegas is the NUMBER ONE CONVENTION DESTINATION IN THE WORLD. Can I say it any clearer?? We host more conventions in one month than most places will in a year. Would these thousands of companies spend millions of dollars if all the conventioneers were “…rushing off to a show or to gamble.”?????
The show floor closes at 5pm. Everyone will still walk the show floor until 5pm. The difference between TW Chicago and TW Vegas will be what happened AFTER the show floor closes. In Chicago we had to wait hours to get something to eat at only a few dinner choices, then you hung out at the Crowne because it cost to much to actually go into Chicago. Now after 5pm you will have untold choices for dinner, and then yes… you can actually run off to a show or gamble!!!!
If someone claims to be the publisher of a magazine you would think they would check facts instead of create their own to serve their own agenda. Maybe Mr. Pickel has a new promising career… news director for FOX News!!! Vegas is the number 1 convention site for good reasons. I look forward to welcoming the Haunters to MY city!!
