This is not true. Merchants are allowed to ask, not require: http://www.emerchant...t-agreement.pdf

^CP's carts have a safety stop when one of the carts "crashes". Once the "crashed" cart is pointed in the correct direction, the stop is released and racing resumes.

As we have seen, there are many that could make this list. There are many opinions, good opinions, that can be discussed. Chances are, none are wrong. That said, one of the largest entertainment companies in the World started with one man and a mouse. The vision Walt Disney had in the late 1940's/ early 50's is almost unimaginable even by today's standards. Cedar Point has been around since 1860 and is argueably the best park most know of. Disnyland came about almost 100 years later- and look at the standard the Disney parks have set in the industry with almost 100 less years. Many of the names mentioned certainly deserve credit, but none have contributed more or have had their hands in more things "amusement" than Walt Disney.

I don't know why I believed the Kochs were from KY, nonetheless when KK was sold in 1997 it drew more than Churchill Downs.

What a great marketing campaign this could be. It hits locals from two directions. Louisville's # 1 attraction is back under new ownership by Kentucky's own favorite fun family.

Perhaps if Mr. Hart had 60+ years of family success instead of 8 it could have become a reality again.

And is there a more historically successful amusement family than the Kochs to see that failure does not happen again at KK? They have already successfully negotiated a negative sticking point the former proprietors could not get out from.

It's a good thing the article provided, from 2000, cannot be forgotten by any of us. It is also a good thing that the family also follow Bill & Pat's wishes:

Reading the article, it is obvious HW has not been their only focus as Koch family has been part of numerous business ventures owned by Ho Ho Holdings LLC. The Koch family has shown a successful history of maintaining their current business while successfully exploring new ventures. Given their history, it is insulting to predict they cannot handle it. We also know that the entire management team is not going to be associated with BB.

Sounds like a cold dish.

Unless HW is being used as collateral for a loan, which would make ZERO sense, this cannot harm HW at all. Also- given that not all HW shareholders are included in BB, HW cannot be legally touched. (i.e. if a business fails and is an S-Corp, the owner(s) cannot be sued for personal wealth or material belongings not located on business premises. In the HW case- all shareholders would have to sign off HW as collateral, since we know this not to be the case, HW cannot be touched.)

Fantastic article written in 2000 about the Koch family and the ventures they have accomplished. http://www.hohoholdings.com/kdhistory.htm Most notably:

The successful model the Kochs have been using at HW has been bringing in guests for many years. I fail to see why a guest will be influenced to attend a park purely on the notion that the park is on leased land or the other behind the scene details most are unaware of at any park. Yet, if you give them the successful HW model: great customer service, clean park, free soft drinks, free suntan lotion etc. there is no way to predict it cannot work.

The investors have a very successful model to follow. Predicting failure one year before the gates open is similar to predicting the weather 25 days in advance.

I wish to thank you. My bad jokes have a tendency to derail topics. You have now brought derailing to a new level.

KI should sell Margaritas..... and flip flops.....

The biggest change? Not being so bold or vague and they really need to search for what we all need.....

Would also need to re-use the que for Flight Commander, the supports for the Sky Ride to reach across the park, and, the cars for The Bat. The finale: use the splashdown from KCKC with Papa Smurf laughing at you for riding willingly.

I like that SoB is no longer causing bad press for KI.
