Disney's "My Magic Bands" Coming to Kings Island?

Probably not going to happen. Cedar Fair doesn't think that a technological investment like that would not be beneficial to the company.

But hey, if you listened to Cedar Fair's 1st Quarter Earnings Conference Call, you'd know that. Since it's a company that you care about it might be a good way to learn about the business side of things. Just remember - It's not all roller coasters and cotton candy.

Might be a good idea for Cedar Fair to get Magic Bands. Just got back from using them and they worked really well. Some day I could see them replacing a season pass.

And what exactly was the cost at Disney?

There's a good reason for most all Cedar Fair decisions. Nowadays. No recommendations that unitholders sell out their interests for less than a third of what they are worth so as senior management could raid the treasury. Just to remember. Viva la difference.

I bet if Apollo had been able to buy the chain, we'd have a giga by now.

At the cost of maybe closing down or selling off a handful of parks they might deem not profitable enough alongside the big moneymakers like a Point or an Island or even a Wonderland, or to offset the cost of acquiring the Six Flags brand as well and further liquidating assets to a more manageable status.

Meanwhile, Mr. Richard Kinzel and his family would be far, far wealthier than they already are.

His laundry fee is more than some families incomes.

And I have to dry clean/starch/press a set of uniforms weekly..
