SonofBaconator Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I was always told that an amusement park's main competitor is not other parks but rather electronic devices. This is a perfect way to attract the gamer demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorarius Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Esports is getting growing, and it's year round and unaffected by weather... Trying to grab a piece of the pie sounds like a good idea... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterSG1 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Esports, whoever heard of such nonsense.. if esports is considered sports, than McDonald’s is considered fine dining in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Something tells me this was part of the plan all along. This Tetris piece has landed. What interests me is what is the blue piece going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esports make a ton of money actually. So popular NFL owners have a stake in it. There's merch and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If they have success in Sandusky, will they consider another one near KI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would look at other parks in the chain before putting another one in Ohio. They might look at parks like Carowinds, CGA, or Canada's Wonderland before ever considering KI. If they're trying to pull the gamer demographic, including another facility that arguably more people could access would hurt CP's location. CP sees themselves as a destination so I don't think they're going to try and pull people from across the country with this e sports complex just to build another one 4 hours away. That's not to say someone else might not try and do their own complex that's not under CF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Doing it the other way around would make more sense to me- KI is closer to a major city than CP, not to mention there's more land options to work with around Mason. I'll applaud CF for trying to pull more $$$ into Sandusky though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
