...only as part of a ride package or as merchandise. Six Flags is the exclusive US regional/seasonal theme/amusement park licensee. That won't likely change. Not to mention I doubt the current dog of FUN parks licensor would be amused.

25 percent of visitors from out of state is the requirement, as widely reported by the press at time of approval. Most articles are pay-walled.

There are out of state visitor targets AND attendance targets in the bank financing, or so I have been told. The Bank of Kentucky, which was closely related to Mr. Hart, has also since been sold....to BB&T. Public records requests have nothing to do with corporate banking. -

There are attendance targets that are required by the tax incentives (particularly as to percentage of out of state visitors--hence 2015's emphasis on marketing in Indiana and Tennessee) and, for all we know, the Bank of Kentucky agreement. I truly doubt the park lowered the price because sales were going so well. Especially given who runs the park. And especially now. Of all times. -

I drove to Kings Dominion for a Hurler ACE event, to find the coaster wasn't complete yet. It was an 8 hour drive each way. Does that count? -
Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?

It appears to be the bankruptcy judge's theory that Pennsylvania law provides that taxes owed on an insured property are to be deducted from an insurance settlement and paid. Park Restoration contests this and has already said it plans to appeal. -

The Wall Street Journal Bankruptcy Reporter has picked up a one liner on the Meadville Tribune's last story--that the Judge ordered mediation.
