@Shaggy, perhaps you (or someone else here too) would know if there was any truth to the rumor that both Flight of Fears were slated for a Paramount Parks (CBS) ride rotation program before the Cedar Fair purchase?

Sure, but there's a difference between actually "getting into the trenches" and the occasional performative gesture. Sincerity speaks volumes and a lack of it can leave a lasting impression.

What a hero he was to walk away from the air conditioned admin office, right past his SUV taking up two spaces, to toil among the lowly minimum wage workers. I bet the associates were in awe and truly inspired. Gives me chills just thinking about it.

Just for clarification is this topic only for civilian smoking areas or also the ones used by the folks serving?

Tower Gardens. ”Come crush a few menthol-laced heaters near a framed, yet faded, poster for ‘Mission: Impossible II.’ Don’t go down by the stagnant pond, though. Yeah, the one that’s gated off and where the car from Wayne’s World was once parked?” Topic of the year award already claimed early into 2025, by the way.
