And Flying Ace would be THE major ride at Camden Park... -
Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?
The Interpreter replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Make no mistake--the goal of a bankruptcy judge in a business reorganization bankruptcy is to maximize recovery for creditors while allowing the bankrupt a fresh start--IF there is a viable, working plan for continuing the business. Liquidation is a distinct possibility here. And predicting judges and juries is a fools' errand.... -
The park considers that information proprietary, for fairly obvious reasons. Note, however, WindSeeker....

People that do that kind of stuff ain't a gonna tell the truth.

Yep. You may indeed be in hot water! I kid. I kid.

See gad198's post. An area near one he mentions, though otherwise ideal, has not proven usable for big tall things in the past.

Busch Gardens Tampa: New ride watch
The Interpreter replied to Steph88's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
And I'm doubting it lasts... -
When one is building a big tall thing, the land must be capable of supporting it. The originally proposed location for Drop Zone/Tower...wasn't. At least not at any reasonable price. "In the Town of Bedrock...

The kid who wanted to do that was probably the oldest KIC'r there. Surprisingly, after some "Are you serious?", away we went! -

And Montu once had alligators. Pardon me if I don't get excited. -
At the time of Boo, Cedar Fair money available for licensing was extremely limited, to be kind... Even watery Boocifers weren't maintained.

As a friend of mine would say, "Does it matter?" Line jumping is line jumping. And it's wrong. No matter why. Unless you pay for it. Then it's Fast Lane.

Gee, I wonder whose suggestion that was. And then, on to the flume! -

Nothing will be open if a reorganization plan is not approved or unless the court otherwise allows it. -
...read the first post. Yes, some rides will be open. At least 18. And Gordon, CBS had the parks in 2005. The final, formal breakup was in January 2006, but it was announced to the public in June 2005, and the Paramount Parks left for CBS earlier than that. It was pretty clear in 2005 that CBS wasn't interested in the parks, and many, like Jeff Seibert, got out before the parks were even put on the auction block, the sell off being announced January 26, 2006. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/viacom-makes-split-official/ See also, for many interesting reasons, Cedar Fair's SEC filing to support the debt sale to buy Paramount Parks: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/811532/000119312506130576/dex99.htm Cedar Fair is a very different company today, and a better one, than it was in 2005/2006. Different people. Different environment. Different future. And lots and lots of debt (which most seem to have forgotten about. For now.) See also Six Flags.

Don't forget that same SeaWorld company closed a GCII or two in the same state....
