Yeah... They also banked the track on all 9 suspended Arrow's after Bat as well, which includes TG. Ironically the last suspended Arrow built.

Eight Balance Sheet Accidents Waiting to Happen
Moving in a ride from a closed park doesn't really indicate anything. But even reading between the lines; why would CF moved a ride from a closed park to a park that could potentially close?

Eight Balance Sheet Accidents Waiting to Happen
But until CF does not meet those expectations, there is no reason to worry. And so far, there have been no indications that they are not being met. Even at that, whatever bank(s) gave CF their loans I'm sure looked very closely at SF's situation. Obviously they don't want their money to fall into the same issue as SF's creditors.

CF is not going to sell a park and liquidate the assets unless they have to do it. And the only reasons that they would have to do it is if the park(s) was costing more than it was bringing in, as in the case of GL. Now GA could be sold due to the issues that they are facing with the proposed 49ers stadium, but even at that, those plans are still in the very early stages. Nothing has been finalized. And I'm sure that someone will bring up CF's debtload. Another false misconception. Sure they have debt. But until they start defaulting on the loan (which will big public news) or start removing board members, especially Mr. Kinzel, CF is fine. Think of it this way; most people go into debt when they purchase a house, well you don't start selling assets to make a house payment until you have to. Don't worry about KI, KD or any other park. There is no smoking gun that points to a park closing.

2008 preview
CP hasn't officially announced their plans for 2008. But from the construction pics on the CP blog, combined with the numerous rumors it is quite obvious that the are renovating the central kids area. Quite possibly with some of the kids rides from GL. It is also supposed to have the name "Planet Snoopy". http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/...f4-16336d4ae5b5

Ahem. Exactly what do you base this senseless comment on? 13 solid years of being on planet Earth of course! Who could argue such a reputable track record as that?

The Lawyer Handling the STOP Plaintiff's Case at SFKK
Yeah, I'll admit that I have no clue as to the ins and outs of insurance companies and medical costs. But it just seems that for a corporation like SF, they had an opportunity to handle this delicate case in a much better manner than they have. It is, and has been quite obvious that this girl did nothing to cause this accident. At which point, the SF attorney should have already been negotiating a price that is to be paid for her medical costs and not let the family stress out about the costs. Instead of appearing to have sympathy for the victim, they come off as a used car salesman selling a little old lady a lemon.

The Lawyer Handling the STOP Plaintiff's Case at SFKK
Think Again. The park and the insurance company are of course attempting to limit whatever the amount of any award would be. What are they supposed to say? Here take ever dime and we'll just go out of business? Obviously giving away every dime would be plain stupid. As of right now, this has nothing to do with awards, just take care of the families current medical bills. And since there was at least one benefit to help the family out, it is quite obvious what SF intentions are. Why would there have to be any negotiations when it comes down to her medical care? If she recieved treatment, the provider deserves to be paid. Now combine that with the cable inspection fiasco, the writing is on the wall. I really would not feel this way if SF would just have agreed to have anyone inspect the cable. What are they trying to hide?

It's just not CF or SF that is not doing well, it is the entire industry worldwide. People are just spending more money in different areas, there is not much left for parks anymore. And the money that they do have is being spent differently than 20 years ago because there are more things to do now. It is hard to justify spending big money on gas, lodging, food for an outside park that has been around for 30+ years when they can spend that same money on an indoor waterpark that is virtually still new.

Ambulance chaser or not, I would not think that you would hire an attorney like this unless the other side is fighting the accusations, SF and their insurer in this case.

SFOT now selling beer...
^ Actually PA is the same way. Alcohol can only be purchased at a state run liquor store or beer distributor. Grocery and convienant stores do not sell any alcohol. And bars/ restaurants can only be open on Sundays if food sales are 30% of the total revenue. It can be a rather pain in the A$$. But what I'm getting at is they are making it sound like it is something brand new. Alcohol sales have been present at every professional sporting event in Texas for how long now? Why is it shocking for SF to sell alcohol as well?
