Great Wolf still sees a steep loss for all of 2009, including a modest deficit during the current, seasonally potent quarter. It's not great, but it's all relative these days.

The flip side

Cedar Fair's report wasn't as cotton candy-esque.

The regional amusement park operator behind Cedar Point and Knott's Berry Farm posted a quarterly profit of $0.13 per unit, halving last year's profit and coming in well short of analyst expectations of $0.30 a unit.

Revenue tumbled as Cedar Fair's parks were hit by the double whammy of falling attendance and lower per-capita spending.

It's a sad walk down the fiscal midway....

A midway I am currently walking down, tagged with Disney. My own little leisure mutual fund.

And today, FUN: 10.90 Down 0.02 (0.18%).

And Today, WOLF: 3.04 Up 0.03 1.00%.
