The Interpreter

The park has filed bankruptcy before. It has a long, sad history of financial mismanagement. And the tax creditors have deferred as long as they could. By law, they had no right to do so. The park now claims to be a tax exempt non-profit. They are certainly non-profit!

Nope. The 3D glasses were gross enough...

The creditors extended credit to the park. Are they not entitled to be paid? And since the filing, the park has not made a dime, but rather added $1,000,000+ more debt. How deep should the hole be allowed to go?

Motion filed yesterday to extend mediation through end of April: http://www.clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=683&start=195

Most peeps go there to get all wet.

I think the market will do that.

Silver Dollar City is in an area where VERY few of their visitors are local or repeat visitors....

^^ posts like that... that's what Kings Island is all about. all my life's a circle....

I trust you are going on a rampage. Just don't expect much else dry...

Oh, yeah. Terp's excited. Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Vallejo...

For some odd reason, what CGA is getting is of far more than academic interest to me, especially as compared to, say, six months ago. Terp--"And we'll have fun, fun, fun (six times?) in the warm California sun...out on the boardwalk...."

...at least two times...

The elevator is working again even though the National Park Service says it does not know what caused yesterday's outage.

Mediation apparently unsuccessful, park Trustees wanted agreement to extend time to file plan again, creditors dub situation hopeless, Thursday looms; http://www.clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=683&start=195

Elevator broken. Again: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2016/03/29/washington-monument-elevator-breaks-leaves-cherry-blossom-visitors-without-unique-view/

I'll say it. Customer Appreciation? Watch what they DO, not what they SAY. Imagine being that company...

I have no problem with Knoebels. I have problems with how it's done with power hours, dispatch monitors, etc. I've not been treated nor seen guests treated rudely at Knoebels.

There is a preview night for gold and platinum season passholders who renewed by November 1, 2015...

Heaven forbid, in the event of a serious accident, trial lawyers will have a field day with this. Even here, safety got mentioned as what looks like, to an outsider, a mere afterthought. "Yeah, we care about safety, sure...now break the dispatch record." I'm sorry--this is EASILY painted as putting throughput--and MONEY--above all else. There's never been an ejection or a death on a B&M. All day Power Hours, every day. Not good. Not good at all. Think too of the differently abled, who need more time to board. It's just a matter of time until some ride op, fascinated with throughput records, rushes someone who can't rush. Perhaps they are autistic. Bedlam results. And/or a lawsuit. Safety and guest service are supposed to matter. Best day ever? I'm sorry--I am strongly opposed to putting capacity and throuhput over guest safety and guest service. Grandma doesn't care about how many coaster trains are dispatched in a day. Little Jimmie, who seldom speaks, and his family, wants to be treated with dignity and respect. Henrietta is afraid, and wishes the ride ops be very sure her restraint is locked--she doesn't know or care there's a visual monitor in the station. And ride ops, pushed to their limit, day after day, make mistakes, get rude and uncaring. Best day ever?

And factual errors...

Uh, the renewal had to be done by November 1 to attend Preview Night, I believe...

Nope. It's for gold and platinum season passholders who renewed early. You need to bring that pass...

That's how I always go. Except when I detour to Putz's Creamy Whip!
