It's nice to see debt levels normalize. Brian Witherow During the 9-month period, we also generated $310 million in the sale leaseback of the land at our Great America park in Santa Clara, California. Through the first 9 months of the year, we used $264 million to fully repay the company's term loan, bringing total debt outstanding down to $2.3 billion and net leverage back to pre-pandemic levels at 3.7x trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA at the end of the quarter. Richard Zimmerman "Ben, the other thing that I'll jump back to. When we went into the pandemic, a lot of question marks, we issued a $1 billion bond in April of 2020 to make sure we had adequate liquidity. Yes, you look at what we've done on the capital structure, paying down 90 -- more than 90% of the debt that we incurred to survive the pandemic and get us through. The reinstitution of the distribution, getting down to that 3.7. I'm really pleased with the rapid recovery, if I could put it that way. And I’m really pleased with what we’ve been able to do with the free cash flow to set the foundation on the capital allocation side for how we create some – create even more value for our unitholders. I don’t want to step over that because I think the impact of that rapid recovery has really let us get healthy very quickly. And that’s going to let us drive growth in the future."

Here is a nice drawing of the layout by user RrevinEvann on reddit.

From the specs on Zamperla's website, the height in operation is 20.5 m ( 67.3 ft) for the 24 passenger and 20.9 m ( 68.6 ft) for the 48 passenger. https://www.zamperla.com/products/endeavour/

If the park is getting another B&M, I would prefer a sitdown or floorless coaster with 7-9 inversions over a Surf, Dive, or Wing coaster. Sort of a modern Vortex from B&M.

I am guessing a waterpark expansion is coming first. (Mt. Slide Hai, Deluge, and T3 can be removed to make room for this) Once the road running through the park is removed by the Kentucky State Fair Board, I would like to see some new Vekoma coasters added. Maybe a Super Boomerang, Tilt coaster, or a launch coaster. Super Boomerang at Fantawild: Tilt Coaster: Launch coaster: Kentucky State Fair Board proposal:

Some credit cards, such as Chase Sapphire Preferred, don't have foreign transaction fees.

In particular, he questioned the credibility of CEO Selim Bassoul at the present moment. “Forgive us for not giving Selim more time to execute here, but this whole endeavor/strategy was pitched as bold to begin with, and in hindsight, we think we all would have been better off had expectations been gutted in the first place, not in the middle of summer,” Andress commented. “Our fear now is that there is no more pricing power to push on these assets, that we've hit the limits of what consumers are willing to pay to experience them.”

Appears to be a Mondial Avalanche.

I wouldn't be shocked if Power Tower moves to the old Scrambler location and Super Himalaya to the old Matterhorn location. This would allow a new queue for TTD and prevent a narrow midway.

Valleyfair is starting work on something:

I went back and listened to the recording of the call again. At 23 minutes and 54 seconds: "Next Thursday we will be unveiling our 2023 capital investment program. Sharing with our guests, communities, and associates a first look at what exciting rides, attractions, and immersive entertainment are coming to our parks and resort properties."

I was listening to the earnings call on Cedar Fair's investor page. https://ir.cedarfair.com/overview/default.aspx#upcoming-and-presentations Fool.com and seekingalpha.com will probably post the transcript of the call this afternoon.

According to today's earnings call, all Cedar Fair announcements will be next week.

Clair Hain Jr. of GCI confirmed the purchase of two Infinity Flyer trains and Titan Track for a ride opening in Spring 2023. Dan Peak of Skyline Attractions is listed as the engineer on the permits for Project 50.

They need to raise prices and stop being a budget chain. /s

What do you mean? Titan track with infinity flyer trains can do the same things as RMC I-Box track.

The Kentucky State Fair Board is proposing redeveloping part of the Fairgrounds property with a youth sports complex, hotels, and restaurants. Several other improvements that benefit Kentucky Kingdom can be seen in the draft site plan. The road that currently cuts through the park would be redirected around the park, new VIP parking lot, redesigned access and drop off area by the park entrance, and a new parking lot and RV area. https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/wdrb.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/6/7a/67a0e7ea-dc64-11ec-8a64-0f8c94d3b97c/628e8966b17a9.pdf.pdf https://www.wdrb.com/news/business/millions-from-state-could-revamp-kentucky-expo-center-with-sports-complex-hotels/article_d682bd54-dc60-11ec-b60e-633df27ae2b8.html
