From The Motley Fool, perspective on 2011 prospects (and beyond) for parks:

I've thought all along that the downturn in the economy would be good for the parks... and if I wasn't so lazy I would search for some of those conversations on here. In a time of limited resources, people look for close (drivable) alternatives and parks offer that... alternative reality/time out of time feel that we all look for in a vacation. This trend makes perfect sense to me and I say bring on the coaster wars and a flats war to rival it! More Screamin' Swings please!
