It does not have anything to do with one another, was just stating a general comment. Every year there is great talk of all this in all walks of life just not the Amusement park Industry. And with prices so high a lot of people will go to KI cause they cant afford a vacation. I would be intrested to see the stats over a one season how many guests were locals compared to other locations. People stress way to much over things they can not control, people need to live life at its fullest.
As for the SUV's. I got rid of mine but not cause of gas prices. I now have a big F250 which only gets 12 miles to the gallon. No, I do not drive it often I drive a Sunfire or my Tauris.
