The Interpreter Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Of course they're going to see limited use of the lazy river during the week. Who's going to come to the park just to ride the lazy river - especially when they likely have to pay to do so? $5 for a day at the waterpark currently. And the amusement park was closed the days the waterpark now will be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 That's my point. $5 to ride the lazy river when nothing else is open. And they wonder why nobody was taking advantage of it. Sent from my LG G5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 It's frustrating. I get PM's 'correcting' me nearly every time I say something of personal knowledge. "Website, please." I blame Wikipedia and this generation of teachers. A website trumps personal knowledge. That's sad. When I grew up, old people with personal knowledge were primary sources. Primary sources were valued more than secondary sources. I guess few realize that nowadays a secondary source can be fabricated far easier than ever before. There's so much baloney on the Internet. And more every day. I feel sorry for future historians. So much to sort through, so much of it crap. To be fair, primary sources can often be wrong too. Over the years memories are blurred and sometimes fictitious ones are created and taken as fact. Applying it directly to Kings Island, I cannot count the number of times I've been told the old Enchanted Voyage used to play "it's a small world". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 And it affects us all. More than once, you've corrected me, and you've been right. I appreciate that. It's important to have history right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Having the park closed most days during the busy summer months certainly won't help - especially with Waldameer just a short drive away. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 As I have said before, the park as it is currently operated and contemplated under the proposed reorganization plan is not sustainable. Now, we have--go here and read Gore Range's posts on pages 11 and 12, starting June 10: http://clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=700&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=150 (I am not Gore Range, nor do I vouch for his figures). If this is anywhere near accurate, the non-tax creditors would never see their secured debts paid to any significant degree under the proposed plan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Because of unavailability of a courtroom, the next bankruptcy hearing has been moved from July 12 to July 14 at 10 A.M., local legal sources say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 On the Beach Club, see Gore Range's 10:50 AM post here: http://clpjunction.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=683&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=240&sid=0146f8f02adf62e52736a1ef85429260 THAT at least makes more sense, and would explain why Park Restoration, LLC had an insurable interest... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 As expected, a creditor has objected, in essence, to the park's proposed reorganization plan, particularly as to the Joint Disclosure Statement. What wasn't expected is that it would be Joseph J. and Isabel J. Prischak. They have asked that the Joint Disclosure Statement be disapproved, primarily as the park has not made a case that it is a viable, going concern that can pay off its debts as scheduled in the plan. July 14 will be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freaks76 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I do hope for the best for this park, if anything for the loyal folks that really love the place. I'm sure there are folks out there that feel about that place about like I feel about Camden. Thanks Terp. I've enjoyed following this. I hope it has a happy ending. We don't need another strip mall where a park used to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freaks76 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 ^ Really? That's not good. Sounds to me like they need to put more work into getting people into the park. The 4th should be one of your busiest days, not a day you send everyone home early. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerNut Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 A lot of places down here in NC had them on the 2nd because it was a Saturday. That said, closing early on 7/4th is never a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 As an aside, Coney Island never even opened on the fourth of July this year. Granted, it rained most of the day this year in Cincinnati. And Coney`s fireworks are on the 3rd, and they started at around 9:15 instead of 10 because of the rainy weather this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
