Providing an update on trends through the July 4th weekend on a comparable

basis, excluding Geauga Lake, Kinzel noted that attendance and in-park

revenues were comparable to last year. "The attendance and revenue trends we

experienced through May have continued through the July 4th weekend," said

Kinzel. "The newly acquired parks have provided us with the diversification

that the Company desires in terms of both regional economics and weather

patterns. We continue to see strength at Canada's Wonderland, which

introduced Canada's longest, fastest and tallest roller coaster this year.

Kings Dominion near Richmond Virginia, Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina

and California's Great America in Santa Clara, California have also performed

well."

"With approximately 65% of the annual attendance at our parks still to

come, including the peak vacation months of July and August, we believe that

our 2008 attendance and revenue goals remain within reach," Kinzel concluded....

Interesting wording, that....

Are you referring to the fact that Kings Island was left off of the list of newly acquired parks that are performing well for the company? Or the fact that they always seem to stress how much of their annual attendance still ahead in the coming weeks and months?

Yes.

Terpy, you knew he would (and he means it)

Add to that no mention of performance trends at the legacy parks, either...
