The Interpreter

Be aware, if you are coming this way, the Washington Monument is closed until some time next week: http://wjla.com/news/local/washington-monument-closed-until-sometime-next-week They've had more trouble with the new elevators there...the old ones worked flawlessly for years. Seems new stuff in "This Town" is never as reliable as the old. See also Metro Rail cars.

...I've seen Pat in the park before... It's not a formal policy. Yet, it's clear what it is.

Well, something has changed then. That would be a good--and different thing.

Why would you lie about a snow coaster? Terp, who missed you. Aren't you glad? Get the wonderful wife back here. You can do it!

Lawyers name every defendant with any possible connection to liability...

Again, you assume there was a deadline... Not everything is done correctly in this world...and when it isn't, a mess often results.

...acopter. DARE to fly. For realz.

On some things, it's just best to stand pat. And I do. And always will. And Rampage surpasses any roller coaster in Santa Claus, Indiana. Always did. Still does.

For those who wonder, a 1.5 with Classic Oster 76 blade leaves hair that's 3/32 inch long. I got 1 sides--that's an eighth of an inch.

Some tweet and post Instagram photos, some do other...things.

I see it often at NJFTP. And at Six Flags St Louis. And Six Flags Over Georgia. And Six Flags Over Texas. And Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. I could go on and on...

THAT's short hair? Terp, who got a 1.5 yesterday...

You assume they have a right to knock it down. Unless they are the owner of it, that is a highly dubious assumption. They could have sold a limited time right to remove it, but...

Cedar Fair is self-insured... Safety is paramount.

I got Rolling Thunder... Oh, how I wish...

Paula Werne is good at what she does. Oh, yes.

And in fairness to FUN, Mr. Kinzel is gone. Cedar Point is a critical, major part of FUN. But, THE crown jewel to the exclusion of other parks? Just as the day came that Kings Island was no longer the paragon of experience for Paramount Parks, now Cedar Point is in the top of the realm of FUN parks--but not THE top. See Canada's Wonderland, Knott's Berry Farm, Cedar Point, Kings Island..AND emergent Carowinds. Other parks are no longer held to the second level to enhance and protect Cedar Point. That was one of Richard Kinzel's dumbest, blindest strategies, but stuff like that happens when you stay too long and live in the parking lot. That and thinking your (adjectives deleted) son is the most qualified person in the world to run Carowinds. And that you try to sell out your investors for nickels on the dollar to save your own hide and enrich your personal coffers. thank heaven for the Knotts and Geof Raynor. Note Jim Reid-Anderson is kicking (himself? being kicked?) upstairs and John Duffey is becoming CEO and Chairman. Already. I still wonder about both chains' futures when (not if) interest rates greatly increase, oil goes up again and consumer spending greatly declines, especially discretionary spending. Like the auto business, the park business is highly cyclical. Boom times (and this is one) become bad times. See (link only good til next Tuesday): http://www.autoextremist.com Perhaps THE best business and marketing site I read regularly. Guy knows his stuff. And how.

That's the way they want that article read. And that's NOT the strategy. Note the rotation...and balance over time. One year families, one year kids, one year teens. Something EVERY year for EVERY park... Greatly increased attendance, revenues and profits. They are doing it right....

Astroland was in New York City...around the Cyclone. Six Flags had no connection to it. It closed in September, 2008. Perhaps AstroWorld was meant?

^ I can think of several, but I cannot post them here.

The terms under which Mr. Norton, God rest his soul, auctioned the coaster created this mess. Who crafted those sloppy terms is a good question. A deadline for removal? What?
