Don't read this on a full stomach.

There are many interesting answers the old man rambles on and spins the truth about but I love this one:
"We're a strong believer in promoting from within," Kinzel said, and he looks for a person committed enough to rise through the ranks, right down to the ride operators on the front line. They must be willing to spend a lot of time out in the park talking with guests, and, most important, they must have a love for the business and "good common sense."
Good common sense - something the man doesn't possess but he can talk about apparently.
Oh yeah - Wonderland is poised to surpass Cedar Point’s annual attendance? How is that possible?

The Halloween Season
Here again, Kinzel said he’s following what people like, capitalizing on the popularity of Halloween: “I heard someone say Thanksgiving is now like the buffet between Halloween and Christmas.” He said it wasn’t until Cedar Fair’s purchase of Knott’s Berry Farm in 1997 that he learned how much value there is in the Halloween season. Over the past decade, Halloween events have since spread throughout the entire chain, to the point that Kinzel said “it’s almost like a separate division of the company now.” |
Hmm... So Halloween does exceptionally well for the company? So why would they ever stop hosting a Halloween event at any of their parks? Hmm... |
