http://www.cedarfair...ry&story_id=332 Remember when the deal with Apollo fell through, then every word from Sandusky was that they were very excited about the opportunity to continue running Cedar Fair as a public company, as though their intention all along had been to cancel the deal. Now another deal falls through and we hear how very excited and optimistic they are to continue to operate this "strong performing" park. It's like, shouldn't those in power at Great America (not to mention its loyal visitors and fans) feel pretty burned they tried desperately to unload the park, then failed, and are now pretending they're all cool? Shareholders felt pretty burned when every member of the "oligarchical" board voted for the privitizing of the company, only to then fall back and act like they were excited to keep it public. So it appears the 2012 season will be another for Great America under Cedar Fair's rule, and with no new attractions yet again. If a new stadium were built, I really do think it would improve visitor-ship at the park - if families know they're heading to the stadium at night, may as well get an early parking spot and spend the day at Great America with their season passes, right? But with no investment for another year, it's a shame... And then I think of Geauga Lake. "What happened here to dim the lights of Hollywood's brightest showplace is about to unfold once again. But this time, it's happening to you."
