With it involving a medical condition, now sure how much more could have been said in this situation, other than the ride was inspected by the government, it is safe and is back open (which it is).

The second article posted above states that Apollo will advise on financial matters, but Kinzel and company will still run day-to-day operations. If Apollo feels Cedar Fair is wasting money, then they will have the final say on financial matters (hence why above a reference is made to employee cuts: they will oversee Cedar Fair's finances and change budgets as necessary). Kinzel will still have input in finances, but unlike before, he will not have the final say, Apollo will.

While anything can change, right now, Kinzel is saying that neither employees nor guests will notice any changes: http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2009/12/cedar_fair.html

^ And "The Marketplace: International Buffet" was one the of the new restaurants at Canada's Wonderland last year.

I can see how you might think it looks Photoshopped with the supports, but I disagree. I think there might be 2 sets of supports on the left, next to each other. The ones in front which look off are most likely for the track on the return trip after the turnaround. So to me, it looks 100% real. After the hill on the left, the ride has a 180degree turnaround, and then has multiple aritime hills. Some of the supports for these airtime hills are attached to the main supports for the second airtime hill, which is why in that picture (from that angle and distance), the supports look odd.

Canada's Wonderland got nothing new for 2007, except for two new restaurants and a skating show and just look at what they are getting this year.

Great America has announced that they will be changing their name for next season. Their new name will be California's Great America. Along with the name change comes a new ride for 2008, as they will be adding a HUSS TopSpin, named Firefall. Bigger news though, will be a new for 2009, CGI-built wood coaster, with a lift height of 104ft, and top speed of 52mph. They will also be adding Halloween Haunt for next season, and an Ice Skating show in the "Great America Theatre". http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....90503&EDATE

When you actually see the construction site in person, you get a better feeling about how truly big this ride will be. The brake run is a very small part of the ride. Here's an image with the heights of various parts of the ride listed: http://bp0.blogger.com/_cVF2LlOx6Zc/RtQeGU...hemothStats.JPG

The track in question is for Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland. They are making great progress with the ride, with new pieces of track arriving daily. A look at current progress (in the back is the future train maintenance shed/trasfer track. The visible track is the brake run, leading into the final turnaround into the future station.): http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/publ...age&chip=44

Seems like a good decision on Six Flags part. Everyone should be treated equal, whether they have a disability or not, and this policy is the best way to do that. Everyone will still be able to ride, and it helps to cut down on blatant abuse of the system. It is unbelievable how much abuse the old policy faced, and how many people tired to get on through the exit.

Looks like as mentioned earlier, Cedar Fair has done away with the MAXX/MAXX Plus pass naming at Michigan's Adventure, and created one "Platinum Pass" which gives the same access as the MAXX Plus pass used to. I suspect this will be the same at all the Parks. This move alleviates some confusion that the three pass option created. Now you have the Regular one park admission pass and the chain wide pass. The Platinum Pass also gives free parking to ANY Cedar Fair Park, a move sure to make many very happy. Link to pass sales at Michigan's Adventure: http://www.miadventure.com/spass.shtml As for CW, the Platinum Pass will go on sale later this year.

The MAXX Pass is gone from CW. The MAXX Plus pass will return, only with a new name later on this year.

The track mentioned above has arrived at Canada's Wonderland. Picture of orange track: http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff230/r...to/DSCF2043.jpg Visible to the right above is the blue supports.

I have a feeling we may not see the "MAXX Pass" return, and instead only have the "regular" KI only Pass and what was this year the "MAXX Plus Pass" with a different name. Having three pass options confused many people, and they may be trying to reduce that.

CP won't receive another coaster next year, since Maverick was a major investment this year. Alot of rumors are swirling that Canada's Wonderland could see the next major CF coaster addition.
