Ever notice when CF buys a park, something always goes wrong with their wood coasters? The SOB, Villain, RWB for example.  (i forget the others.) _________________ >>>>>Feuer FREI<<<<<< BANG BANG!

I thought the only incident that coaster had was some a** hole had their cell phone out while on the ride. Did something happen that I don't even remember? Never know with me cause I be a pregnant dumbass. You all have no idea, LOL! _________________ Katie http://groups.myspace.com/againstCedarFair www.cnajunkies.com/board

Cedar Fair is in WAY over their heads, Six Flags is filing for bankruptcy protection... the world is getting tough out there! We are very near a point where many parks may just close. GL could be the first of a trend. Busch Gardens and Sea World have a nice advantage in that they are "different" kinds of parks and are located in tourist rich areas. The parks that I am worried about are the Valleyfair!'s and Michigan's Adventures of the world... Smaller parks in smaller markets without a large scale drawing power. I hope that the concept of a traditional local amusement park returns out of this downturn... in my estimation Cedar Fair blew it by torpedoing GL, rather than maybe scaling it back. Many Six Flags are in danger... especially if they keep KILLING people... It's a scary time for the industry... and only 10 years removed from the biggest coaster building boom the world has ever seen. Ugh. But for all of you desperatly wanting revenge on Cedar Fair... you won't have to wait long I am afraid.

No we wont, huh Dick? The poor excuse for a CEO will not be around much longer. That day cant some soon enough for me! _________________ Greed is what caused GL's demise and that just makes me sick. Lets do what we can to rat out Kinzel - hes a snake. In the end the truth will come out and we will then see whos laughing at who.
