  1. CBS budget overruns and cuts. Gee, what a surprise.
  2. Fair Board. Fair. Kentucky Kingdom. What's going to be different this year? Why? What will result? Terp -- who likes to ask questions.
  3. A much, much better article: http://www.goerie.com/conneaut-lake-park-reorganization-plan-is-work-in-progress It actually makes sense and says something. The disclosure statement objection was joined by another, from the sewer authority. The lead creditors attorney said this was the park's last shot and that at some point, it may have to wave the white flag. The park is still losing money. Land sales are not going as well as hoped. The Beach Club insurance proceeds issue remains to be decided. The reorganization plan must be amended in the face of the objections. A draft is expected in about two weeks. Hearing in August or September. A park with no clear plan has gotten to sneak in another season. Want to go to Conneaut Lake Park? Better make it now.
  4. I-64 to Missouri. I-65 to Nashville. Terp -- who knew that was flakey when he typed it--then got a call.
  5. How well did Paramount's Great America take care of theirs? Terp -- who likes to ask questions.
  6. Louisville and Nashville, along with I-65 to Missouri....
  7. June 30, 2016. Ten years from Cedar Fair acquisition. Important. For important reasons.
  8. The percentage of Kings Island's patronage that has even HEARD of Holiday World, much less gone there, is almost certainly below 10.
  9. It's NOT unknown. It's WHY Landmark status was created. Changes will NOT affect that status. As if more than 1/4 of 1 percent of the park attendance cared.
  10. Son of Beast was good on paper? Had it not been for Paramount's insistence for height and speed records then taking over construction and cheaping out, it would still be with us today. It isn't. And it had an intensely boring layout, next to no airtime, terrible pacing, no laterals to speak of, poor reliability, poor re-rideability, poor capacity... Other than that, it was at least a mediocre ride.
  11. Blue Streak was an ACE Coaster Classic. That's different, which is my point.
  12. Why? The Beast isn't an ACE Coaster Classic. I know of no reason whatsoever that train modifications or replacements would affect ACE Landmark Coaster Status. Terp -- who learns the darnest things here.
  13. More delay: http://www.meadvilletribune.com/news/conneaut-lake-park-s-bankruptcy-plan-may-be-complete-by/article_bfbfbd24-49db-11e6-8a4b-53c7d4a2056b.html Maybe by fall. Please note this source has not been very reliable in the past.
  14. $1,240,000,000.00 CBS was well pleased. VIACOM, not so much.
  15. You should be for The University of Charleston. Oh. Wait.
  16. Disney Firefighters Had Been Feeding Alligators Near Death Scene: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/disney-firefighters-told-stop-feeding-alligators-attack-article-1.2711129
  17. What is, is. Cedar Fair OWNS Paramount Parks. For now, at least, Cedar Fair directs Kings Island's future. Regretting or bemoaning what Paramount Parks did accomplishes nothing. At all. The future is being constructed now.
  18. And ONE card could be passed amongst 254 park guests? not.gonna.happen
  19. So you marshall up a cheer back in the wild and wonderful? Terp, who sees Blue.
  20. The calm before the storm? Thursday is tomorrow. A day of reckoning? Or just another delay before the matter is ultimately resolved? Someday? Stay tuned....
