I guess the first bunch of dinos didn't make all that much difference, and the second set of dinos won't matter that much either!

However, you would think that getting a new CEO would have made the list.

That happens officially in 2012, not 2011. But Mr. Kinzel's farewell/swan song......

What story deserves elimination to then include CF?

I am sure Mr. Kinzel & Co. would say the SIX one!

Am I the only one who noticed that all but 2 of them were Disney or other destination parks?

^Exactly my thoughts. Almost all of these stories are related to the Orlando-area parks or their sister parks throughout the world. I think Cedar Fair getting a new CEO is a much bigger story than Halloween Horror Nights' changes.

Beast1979, Nope. Then again, that's where most of the money and attendance are in this business.

And again, Mr. Ouimet becomes the CEO tomorrow. 2012.

Yes, but WindSeeker is something that will last a long time, whereas Dinos Alive, although "from millions of years ago" won't be around as many seasons.
