  1. attendance figures ≠ season pass sales, correct? so if the addition of Orion boosted season pass sales revenue (for X amount of years) then its measured as a success
  2. FWIW: Permit BLD24-0762 has been filed with the City of Mason and includes the following statement "Five existing indoor Haunt mazes have not changed from last year. We'll just require inspections only this year."
  3. I think the 5 near the bottom of the plan screen shot will be cabanas (with the U-shaped walls), the other areas are added fixed shades
  4. New slide structure and deck expansion/shade structures shown:
  5. Public Record: BLDG 024-569 (Kiddie pool) ---Job value: $2,300,000 BLDG 024-570 (waterslide) --- Job value: $4,525,000 BLDG 024-571 (Pumphouse) ---Job value: $1,250,000 Total: $8,075,000
  6. Theming on rides would compel someone to go into an actual restricted area?
  7. Slash the price of tickets is correct. Saying slash the price off tickets would remove all price from the tickets Compare "slash the ear of Van Gough" to "slash the ear off Van Gough"..... in which instance would his ear, or a portion of, remain?
  8. Planet Snoopy rides were open last nite after 9:00....at least 9:45 when I walked thru
  9. Adventure Port is very good, for what budget they had and late timing of it --- a needed improvement for a previously neglected section of the Park. Cargo Loco is fun and the Adventure Express upgrade is nice. Sol Spin has a long wait at times but "ok". DB painting, shoehorned between weather and park opening, expect them to resume in Late Aug Sept during weekday downtime I believe CP does not have the 'drop them off' issue (being more isolated) as much as KI did so maybe that's why the Chaperone Policy is not used there
  10. You can't use CPI to adjust for construction inflation, it is simply the wrong metric. Intimidator would have cost $31 Million in 2020, which was more than Orion.
  11. Inflation Rate spot on to what? FWIW 2015 $30 million ->>> $32.7 million in 2020 (for Fury) is very close to the calculation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm (+/- $33 Million computed) Using the ENR Construction Cost Index (which probably underestimates the 30% steel increase for the steel-heavy Orion project), $30 million in 2015 is more likely $37.5 million in 2020.
  12. You can't use the CPI inflation index to compute inflation in construction. Long-term construction cost inflation is normally about double consumer price index (CPI).
