Six Flags Haiti

We haven't used any sort of logic throughout this thread, why start now?

Still a little concerned it is has been 2, 3 years and they are still looking for investors.

Sure, you don't build a church for Easter Sunday. It just seems like over the last 3 years the WDW Resort has been VERY capacity focused, adding sims or tracks on popular rides, and you would assume the engineers would have done what they could to get it to a more respectable capacity in general.

Do we have a CM that can confirm 1000/hr? The boats hold 16 so that would mean a dispatch of like 58 seconds, seems lengthy for a ride with no restraints, even with the "turntable". I haven't been able to find an uncut video of the loading process. I would have guessed the ride would be able to do 100-120 dispatches an hour at 16 guests, so like 1,600-1,900.

How so? Curious. This information is available on their earning releases on their investor website. it is actually listed as a risk for investors. Those two parks are "partner parks" and have a contract that stipulates they invest 6% of revenue into capital, over a set period. It does not say what the set period is. http://investors.sixflags.com/financial-information/annual-reports

Has anyone stayed at one of the "partner" hotels and utilized the shuttles? I am looking at visiting the park and will only have a day. Trying to figure out if the shuttles run regularly enough or if I should suck it up and pay the $25 for parking.

Toverland really was a pleasant surprise and I wish we could have parks like that in America. I stopped there thinking it would be a smash and grab for the creds, but we ended up spending hours there with a 2 year old bouncing off everything.

First off, this is amazing and should be a great tool for the coaster community, especially a whore like myself who will try and fly in and out of a city on the same day to get stuff done. Just to try and push the envelope, are you able to get a lens on date, or even month? A Tuesday at the start of the season in May will be way different from say, July 5th. As an analyst in real life I would love to be able to slice the data that way.

^The ops dispatched a train and one of the guests had a walking boot on. The operator saw it, signaled to stop the ride, but they didn't e-stop until the train got to about 185 feet on the lift. The ended up "evacing" the train that stopped half a foot from the proper stop in the station, left the guests on the brake run out there for about 25 minutes. They locked out and went up to take off the boot, and then sent the train on the way. All three trains were given bottled water and 1 time quick queue. I was next in line for the front row, so I couldn't get any good shots of the poor supervisor who had to walk up about 18 stories because of the slow e-stop. I did get a good shot of the army of leadership that appeared. There have been plenty of pics and opinions so the only $0.02 I will add is I love the widescreen HD monitor they have on the station. It shows which seats are clear (big boys and girls), as well as their hourly performance. For a quick reference, at the time of the incident described above it was about 23 after the hour, and they had only dispatched 12 trains. That would put them on pace for 28-30 for an hour. There was a decent line, 20-30 minutes and they had all 3 trains on.

Thanks for all of your help. Just realized I left dates of my trip out. I went in mid May, and had modest to no crowds everywhere. With a 2.5 year old Eftling took 2 days, and honestly anything less might have felt rushed. We only had 1 day at Europa which in no way was enough time but that's the hand we got dealt with our travel arrangements. Was spited by the Booster at Toverland, and obviously Taron wasn't ready, otherwise a great trip.

I know who you were referring to. I was providing context for how fans can see patterns. There financial situations are a lot more similar than you think. SEAS FUN Rev 1.371B 1.236B GM 40.70% 49.60% Net Income49m 112m EPS 0.57 1.99 FCF 129m 166m D 2 E 3.07 27.3

Most publicly traded companies have a 10-15 year capital plan, with a budgeted cadence for how the money will come out. Some times these cadences are more frequent, and patterns can appear. A good example of this is SEA. Check out page 103 on this file: http://s1.q4cdn.com/392447382/files/doc_presentations/2015/2015-11-SEAS_Investor_Day_FINAL-reduced.pdf

First they lied about how happy their whales are, now they are lying about speed of their new coaster. Bastards. /sarc

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2015/05/22/kentucky-kingdom-approved-million-tax-recovery-incentives-kentucky-tourism-development-finance-authority/27784821/ That is an interesting incentive to manage around. $3.75m over 10 years is decent for a park of this size. It changes the hurdle rate around a bit, but I would still guess that the risk is fairly low with initial demand relatively low from out of state guests, and most visitation will be incremental (IE, they don't go with out this offer). Curious if they ever release if they hit this number.

It does seem a little early for a contingency offer. With a new marquee attraction you would bank on demand being sufficient to not have to discount. That being said, with it being fenced to out of state residents only I have to imagine the risk is pretty minimal. What % of their guests are coming from out of state? 10%-15%? Maybe? Second day free offers provide great perceived value as a guest but the cost to the park is basically zero. The park was going to operate anyways and any money spent (parking) is basically all contribution margin. The cost of soda is insanely low, and would imagine the hurdle rate would be pretty low to cover this freebie.
