Honestly, I see category 3 being the most likely, but 2 is possible as well. SFStL didn't get a new attraction survey, right?

Having read through the transcript of the call, and reviewed the slides, it sounds like there's more than just "good" and "bad" parks in their eyes The "core," high-performing parks that have been seeing investment and will continue to do so. The "core," low-performing parks that they're going to try investing in, and if it doesn't make it into a high-performing park, the category will change. The "non-core," low-performing parks that may be salvageable into profitable parks. The "non-core", low-performing parks that are on the immediate chopping block if they can't get their act together. The "non-core" parks that are already officially slated for closure (SFA, CGA). Based on what Zimmerman and the other guy said, it sounds like there's a bit of fluidity and movement possible between types 2, 3, and 4.

Making sushi at home can be a fun and rewarding culinary experience. Here's a basic guide to help you make sushi rolls (maki) at home. We'll focus on making a classic sushi roll with a filling of vegetables and/or fish. You'll need some basic sushi-making tools, including a bamboo sushi rolling mat (makisu), a sharp knife, and ingredients like sushi rice, nori (seaweed sheets), rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and your choice of fillings. Ingredients: Sushi Rice: 2 cups sushi rice 2 1/2 cups water 1/2 cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt Fillings: Thinly sliced vegetables (cucumber, avocado, carrot) Cooked and seasoned seafood (shrimp, crab, or smoked salmon) Nori (Seaweed Sheets) Instructions: Preparing Sushi Rice: Rinse the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch. Cook the Rice: Cook the rinsed rice with water in a rice cooker or on the stovetop according to the package instructions. Prepare Seasoned Rice Vinegar: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar and salt. Season the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Gently fold in the seasoned rice vinegar while the rice is still warm. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature. Assembling the Sushi Roll: Prepare Your Workstation: Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. This prevents the rice from sticking to the mat. Place Nori on the Mat: Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat. Wet Your Hands: Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice (about 3/4 to 1 cup) and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border along the top edge. Add Fillings: Arrange your chosen fillings along the center of the rice. Rolling the Sushi: Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the nori and rice over the fillings. Apply gentle pressure and shape the roll. Sealing the Roll: Moisten the top edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll. Slice the Roll: Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Serving: Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate, serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Enjoy your homemade sushi! Feel free to experiment with different fillings and get creative with your sushi rolls. It may take a bit of practice to perfect your rolling technique, but the more you make sushi, the more skilled you'll become. For more information visit Complete Medicines
