The Interpreter

No condescension intended. I just wonder if THAT's the word the park is going to use for what it's going to do. Such a nice word...

"We" aren't wondering...

Does the app reflect that? Terp, who likes to ask questions.

Much of the original fiberglass trough was replaced with aluminum.

Uh huh. I learn the darnest things here.

I learn the darnest things here.

Just keep telling yourself that....

Any user interface that requires a tutorial in how to use it has problems to start with. Do you need a tutorial to use Magic Bands?

True, but what I'm saying is that while Arrow Dynamics is out of business, and replacement parts need to be fabricated, Hopkins was bought out by WWW, so replacement parts are cheaper. I'm saying it is more relevant to get rid of Congo Falls, then it is to get rid of the log flume. I learn the darnest things here.

And Cedar Point? Also, isn't 2000 sixteen years ago? Terp, who likes to ask questions.

And what can be seen as a guest is merely a talisman for the goings-on and maneuvering backstage. New treatment is definitely right. New attitude. New direction. New restraints. New future.

Interesting perspectives. New context? Or not?

What a sticky situation!

Yep. Painted sign at the gate says parking lot opens 90 minutes before park opening.

Cedar Point's flume got new restraints last summer. Helpful Terp

Even when Boo was new, the blasters were hit or miss.

Add to all this the expense of buying out Dan's 40 percent interest in the park. Recalculate. And it's easy to draw rationally based sound conclusions. Frequently, to enhance value in a large asset, you reinvest as much as possible before converting it. Especially if your ability to do so is about to be constrained. The current ownership knew the expense of obtaining complete control was coming. Those large capital investments you detail were made prior to taking the measures necessary to pay 40 percent of the value of the park to get the admittedly difficult one out. This was the apparent only way to continue while excluding the nosey, judicially determined untrustworthy, vexatious minority owner. That money was not laying around in a cash drawer somewhere. Those who provided it also get a say in the future there. Covenants, etc. See Cedar Fair 2006 to the Q rescue. Not to mention the bite that unexpected death taxes has no doubt had. And legal fees. Yep. Management/ownership/philosophy is already different now. And it does make a transfer of legal ownership down the road far more likely. What could be afforded in that park in the past is not a reflection of debt capacity in the future. And a park with a very healthy balance sheet before Will's death and even before all the legal, family and economic aftermath has a very different balance sheet now. I stand by my post. The future of current ownership/management/philosophy is murky indeed. Regardless of WHO it is, it already is different and is about to get differenter. Oh, "treatment" for Voyage in 2017. Interesting word choice. Interesting, indeed. I'm going to file that one. It's...useful. Lance and all should remember though, plans change, times change, people change. There's hope. Hearts and minds can change. I pray for the sake of the family that happens here. I have hope, but I'm not hopeful.

But, as said previously above by others, the park feeds Screamscape the hints it wants published. There's a long record of that. In the case of Holiday World, you discount Screamscape at your peril.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Diamondback. And it really, really made me want to ride... And yet, the next ride I'm most likely to ride is... Diamondback. Diamondback. A proud past, a bright future. Oh, yeah. Watch out for falling trees.

Watch out for falling trees.

You ain't old. Terp -- who has two decades on you and was in college when you were born!

It was. I'm astounded it wasn't saved and moved. The coaster train went to Dollywood.
