Lot of details on why they are going to bounce. I think FUN will bounce when RailRider buys it all up and scares out the shot sellers.

We was told at KIC day that Action Theater will now be a permanent Haunt attraction.

My bet is that the dividend will be eliminated.

Are you still optimistic on FUN? I remember something about it taking nuclear winter to change your mind.

If you are at KI all day walking around you should be burning enough calories to have something to eat. I would guess 300 pounds walking and standing for 12 hours should burn around 3000+ calories. The only problem with eating the park junk is you want more of it when you are not at KI walking.

Talk about money that has be put into parks and then look at how much has been lost. Take the money that Six Flags and Cedar Fair put in the Ohio Park and now Hard Rock Park. I think we can add Wild Escape to that list to. Take all that money and you could buy a park chain today with it. You could build a Universal IOA with that kind of money.

Agreed, I don't think CF would have invested money in the parks this year if they did not think they would get a return for their investment over the next few years, even in these hard times. I agree, just like Six Flags did in Ohio. I don't think they would have invested money in that park if they did not think they would get a return for their investment. I don't think CF would have invested money in that same park if they did not think they would get a return for their investment.

looks like FUN got to the single digits. 9.85

Yes they do and if you want to stay there you need to make reservations now. When I would take my camper it wasn't cheap. I always got full hookup and it cost as much as a room. If you stay in a tent you might save a little.

Opening day 2003

I don't think they had it more than one or two times. I remember something about fighting and the people that was a part of it not showing or canceling.

I am waiting for someone to say this is good news. Six cents away from being a single digit stock.

Where was the thing about the Feb 1st? I did see it anywhere but I did look that hard either.

I have seen what public schools pay when I was asked to be a vocational school instructor. I don't know how they get teachers or why people go through what they have to just to be one.

I can see a ride transplant coming if there will be anything. This will come from a park they sell if they can find anyone to buy it. The significant thing in 2012 could be bankruptcy if they can't roll over the debt.

Jim Cramer Mad Money on FUN

Are you still as optimistic on FUN as you was before?

Some stocks are low for a reason and you shouldn't buy them. You can loose your money doing dumb things.

As we enter 2009 it is apparent we will face many of the same market challenges we faced during 2008,” said Dick Kinzel, Cedar Fair’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “In light of the weak economy and uncertain credit environment, we are considering alternatives to reduce the Company’s debt levels and better position the Company for future growth. One such alternative includes reconsidering the Company’s distribution policy based on its overall long-term capital structure objectives. We will complete this evaluation in the near future and will not make any decisions on the level of future distributions until that review is completed and reviewed by the board To me it looks like Cedar Fair will be in the single digits this time next year.

I don't see a need for it. If you have some news to share post it on KIC.

They certainly didn't have the money, or they'd have paid cash. If they had cash I guess they would have. I thought someone would straighten me out on the subject.

I will stick with what I said in 2003 when I said Cedar Fair didn't have the money to buy Paramount Parks. I may have been incorrect about them buying but we are still waiting to see if they have the money.

I had some Chinese at Epcot and it was some of the best I have ever had but it cost more than any I have had. It's been five years and I still remember how much I paid for it.

Remember the Six Flags ****roach Eating Promotion, that be some good eats.

I think we will have a better idea of how things are going in July. Then when we get to fall it will be clear. I remember it was said they would be in good shape in 3-5 years. I don't see where they are in a better position in 2009 than they was in 2006.
