Can Kings Island Survive The recession?
you oughta be........even toyota is laying off now after their takeover of the auto market. My father is currently the VP of inteva products LLC, part of renco, who bought most of the delphi plants, and he is saying that now that all of the auto makers are telling them to stop making parts, he's going to have to shut out some vendors like AKSteel and Worthington Industries and possibly lay off inteva workers. The part that scares me is he goes to Detroit once a month, and he says peopl layed off by GM, Chrysler, Ford, and Delphi up there are violently (well, it is Detroit) boycotting Toyotas by slashing tires, breaking headlights, sideswiping, breaking windsheilds, and even vandalizing toyota dealerships.

And that's why I left last month. The place I lived had a mugging, and my car was hit twice. I didnt feel safe where I lived, plus what is there to stay for? I sold my house for the same reason. I dont think anyone realizes how bad it is in dayton. As for the current economy, I agree with Terpy-I dont remember it being this bad then. I'm just gonna sit tight and wait it out-and when things get bad here, I'll move again. weird, last year my fathers car was attacked, and i live in an upper-class neighborhood where houses normaly go for more than half-a-million and HOA fees are about $750. things truely are getting bad It wasnt like that when I first moved to that place..and I was right by the association building-mostly kids racing in the lot, but we did have some suspicious folks walking around. But with frickers being burned down, gm closed, and everything else, its gonna get worse before it gets better. The first time my car get hit, my neighbor got in a shouting match with the offender and told him to stay put, but by the time I got out there he was gone. wow thats horrible, was it in the moraine area? Surprisingly, it was the 'burg. Just goes to show no one is immune when times are bad. I left dayton just in time..my old job location is preparing for a round of layoffs in about 2 weeks... did you work at the old delco plant on Dorothy Lane near Stroop where tenico took over, i heard the place is gonna be history within a few months....

from what i recall, sixflags is one of five companys expected to close for good in "09. I wouldn't be too suprised if Cedar Fair tried to sell off WOF, Michigans Adv, and A cpuple of the Knott's waterparks this year, if someone could buy them that is, and i'm not too suprised about crime up in the 'burg, that place seems to have been going bown hill since about '03

And by "they" you mean who? If you're talking about Dayton like i just mentioned you're mistaking, Delco/Delphi was at there high point back then till GM spun them off in the late '90's
-
Can Kings Island Survive The recession?
well i like that everyone is optimistic, but i really didn't expect so many people to think we will survive by a long shot, i don't know if anyone on here lives in the immediate dayton area, because things are really turning bad in West Carollton City and Moraine

This is kinda scary, but its a huge possibility, especialy if Dayton and Cincinnat's unemployment rate go through the roof EDIT: The poll box disapeared

^i guess that's a problem CF needs to fix, as they have no parks in the NE, and Dorney Park is nothing compared to KI & CP

As per the norm, I agree with The Interpreter. The only things are 1.) where would they place it and 2.) would it be that profitable? Obviously John and Jane Q. Teenager won't necessarily want/need a sit down restaurant and parents with kids may not have enough time/patience with their kids running around to get them to eat at a nicer place. I, for one, may consider eating there but would there be enough of other people looking for that experience? I think they could easily at least add more food choices like they did with Panda Express. And maybe lower those prices. Since their new promotional campaign, every time I walked by the Subway at KI, I found my self singing: "Six Dollar.... Six Dollar... Six Dollar Six Inch" Yes, i was reffering to the Northeast (Boston, NYC, etc.) because it takes about three times as long to drive from manhatan to florida than it does from manhatan to dayton What about Six Flags Great Adventure? If Six Flags would have made Great Adventure into more like Disney, why would people from the NE come to KI? You could say that for any park in the North East US. Brcause six flags didn't

^as i've heard many of times if Paramount built their parks like Universal and Disney, PKI would've been the "Disney World of the north" which probably isn't such a bad idea because KI's "Region" is the nation's most densley populated. I think we need a good buffet like Crystal Palace and a Ritzy Resort
