Wild Escape--Now What?
This is like making ships with perishable goods wait to come into the harbor. If they can make them wait long enough there will be nothing to come in with.There was dirt moved years ago but nothing has happened since. I posted pictures of the site on here before. Everything there has come to a stand still. There is other buildings that was built that sit empty there.

Q Goes After Mr. Kinzel More Directly
Yes that's what I said 18% of Cedar Fair with it in 2.1 billion debt. If Q was to get out now it would have been a good investment. Like I said the other day when Mr. K goes his bonus should come out of cap x as it should be considered a park improvement.

Q Goes After Mr. Kinzel More Directly
We like to make fun of Kinzel but Q has bought 18% of 2.1 billion in debt Cedar Fair. To me that was not a smart investment and I don't see how it will ever turn into a good investment looking forward. I think Cedar Fair is in worse shape now than it was 4 years ago.

Q Goes After Mr. Kinzel More Directly
Cedar Fair should be working to make a meaningful debt reduction and then maybe a dividend. It's foolish to give away your money before you pay your bills.

Major changes for I305?
My first ride on Saturday was good and went around got on again couldn't see through the turn and up the hill. I don't think I would have made it in the early season. I don't think it helped taking off at 6 pm Friday and getting to bed at 3 am.

Platinum Pass Instant Renewal ?
I ended the season as well at KD and BG. I had a group of 4 with passes didn't have any problems getting in. I have not been there since 2003 and KD seemed to make the transition from Paramount,CBS and Cedar Fair better than KI. Ending at BG was probably the best thing I done all season.

Cedar Fair: Sale? Re-Finance? What Next?
I think we will soon be hearing about the exit of Mr. K and the big chunk of unused capital expenditure that goes with him.

FUN Long Term Strategy, Financial Goals Conference Call
I don't think it was time for distribution again. The .25 doesn't do much for the average holder but if you have 1.3 million shares it makes a nice bonus.

I agree it hasn't been as good as it was back when I started going. I hope it's good this year or I will have to find something different to do next year.

Millennium Force
It depends on where you sit to get air on it. I find it to be the best for me in the middle of the train or a row or two forward from the middle.

Responsibility in Information Posting
I heard a story about a park saying it was going to force a fan site to close down. I don't think it would have helped their competing site if they did.

What is missing is where the extra money is going.- FUN could return 200 percent plus...
I agree that the downside is limited. Any fool knows that it can only go down to 0. It also has unlimited upside. FUN is close to the lows of the year on support and in oversold on the long term. If the market is up it's possible FUN may go with it.- Live feed for announcement

When they get that $1.8 billion in debt paid it should have a good return. It may not be in our lifetime but it could happen.- OFFICIAL! Son of Beast Will NOT Operate in 2010
Say they did get 500,000 and the lawyers take around 43% and he has bills for the surgery and may need more plus lost wages. I don't see anything incredible about that amount.- hotels in sandusky
