So they don't plan on being bought, and if they are they will not sell the parks. Curious move. . .

Of course they don't PLAN on being bought, but the company could still be acquired, either in a hostile take-over, or in a higher bid. If the company is sold, all assets will be looked at. Few think InBev, in particular, would keep the parks.

So they'll go the way of the Geauga Lake if Busch is bought?

Very, very unlikely. Any buyer would want to operate the parks as profitably as possible. I doubt the parks would sell merely for the real estate value, though this is not the ideal time to be selling theme parks.

So InBev will operate the parks if sold?

No...if InBev buys AB, which still could happen, they will almost certainly sell off the parks...who would buy them remains to be seen.

So if AB is sold, InBev will Sell the Parks, they'll have no bidder, and then what?

Never said that...they will have bidders...who remains to be seen. IF InBev even ends up with AB, which is not impossible but far from a forgone conclusion.

^Six Flags!!!

I wonder if it would be a veteran in the community, Like CF (Just an example. . . ), or someoe just forgoing into the community, a novice in the industry. . .

Cedar Fair is in no position to be doing such an acquisition. Mr. Kinzel has admitted to as much in recent conference calls.

As for Six Flags, I doubt they could afford to buy the auction brochure!

^I said CF is an Example. . .

And The next time at the Donation center, I'll donate a nickel to SF, no matter how peeved it'll make Dick Kinzel.

Reminds me of the AE stone gods, but instead of "Now you will pay", it's :

"We want you're Nickels! We Want You're Nickels!"

As I have said.....

Not going to happen.

If they could be bought at a price that they would still be profitable I don't see where they would be in any worse shape than they are now.

If they was buying and was going to close them that might cause a problem.

Hmmmm. See what CBS did to the former Viacom parks before they sold them to Cedar Fair....
