It's only a credit to the cheaters who count powered coasters.

And to think I almost had that song out of my head.

And that's not even the worst of it. I think the real reason to not join ACE is those frighteningly ugly blue nylon jackets half the members wear. UGH! 1982 called. It wants its style back.

I'm a bit confused about this. Why would they even need to save face? Who would expect a coaster club with relatively limited resources to take on a project as massive and risky as moving a wooden coaster? And what the heck would they do with it seeing as they don't own or operate any amusement parks?

I loved Voyage at first, but thought that the quality quickly went down, even in the first season. I've had amazing rides on Voyage, but more mediocre rides and even a few bad rides. I also think that the airtime on it is greatly overstated: A lot of the hills feel dead to me.

Yep, that's a vicious drop. Voyage ain't got nothing on that.

Yeah, that does seem out of character. Based on my experiences, I could sit on The Raven all day and never get bored or beaten up by the ride.

Maybe he bought his sweet old school 100 lb. bag phone to work with him.

Tyree, you stabbed my dad!

But imagine all the goofy stuff Cedar Fair would do if they did purchase the Busch parks. Like renaming Montu and Alpengeist to Flight Deck so that they'd save money by having to make less kinds of souvenirs.

I'm going to go with Waldameer. Nice park, nice scenery, efficient staff, great mix of rides, and a top 10 woodie.

I think we'd be more like to try to steal El Toro in the middle of the night. Think they'd notice?

Great TR. Thanks for posting this!

The current share price takes the possible InBev deal into account. BUD opened at $56.93 on June 11th, the day that the offer was made. Yeah, $65/share isn't "an offer they can't refuse", but it's still much higher than the stock has ever been.

They are. Just show up at the airport and your ticket will be waiting for you.

^What? Disney is no longer making the animatronics for Small World in house? Why is Disney raping my childhood? *tears up annual pass*

Low bar that will just get lower.

Considering all he's done for her (see below) I think she'd find it in her heart to forgive him. According to Wiki, she also got a Lambo out of the deal. Not bad.

That thing also beat me up and I have no desire to ride it again. Didn't bother last time I went to WDW. So below Disney quality. I hope that the DLP version is better.

Honestly, the bar is so low with athletes any more that sort of thing could be considered saintly behavior in comparison. Showing up to practice, not running dog fights = a role model today.

A very, very rich fool. His rejection of MSFT's offer, to me, initially seemed like he was just trying to bleed MSFT of every penny they'd be willing to throw at the deal, but later it became clear that this is just about his ego. Sure, Yang is set for life financially, but if he sold out he wouldn't get to play big powerful tech CEO anymore. And there aren't too many of those jobs running around for him to choose from. Sure he could find a job, but would he get to play the big man anymore? Probably not, at least not at a company as prominent as Yahoo. Had Yang got out when Yahoo was at its peak during the dotcom madness, he probably could have gotten any job he wanted. But he chose to ride Yahoo's downward slide to the bitter last. Oh well, I still think MSFT's main goal in buying Yahoo was to annoy Google.

In case you haven't noticed, Yahoo's shareholders are suing the board for turning down that offer. And hostile takeover guru Carl Icahn is trying to takeover the board. Yahoo turning down that offer was a huge EPIC FAIL on their behalf. The same thing would happen to AB's management team if they wind up turning down a very generous offer. Maybe the current offer isn't big enough to warrant a shareholder revolt, but if InBev sweetens the pot a bit AB's board will have to either accept the bid or face the wrath of the shareholders. And it won't be pretty.

Yeah, I agree that this will go through. InBev might have to raise their bid a bit, but it'll go through nonetheless. There would be a shareholder mutiny if they flat out refused the offer. It is crappy beer, but I'm more concerned about the fate of the AB parks. I think the best thing that could happen would be for the management team of the parks to find a private equity firm to buy them out and retain the current management. I also think they'd be best off somehow retaining the AB affiliation. It is crappy beer, but I can't imagine the parks not being affiliated with alcohol in some way. Oh, and wine > beer.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=adu3krOfyl9Q&refer=home It's going to be very difficult for AB to turn down an offer of this magnitude. No idea what effect, if any, this would have on the AB parks. But, anyway, this is more than a rumor now.

Great job working in a dis to Six Sigma.
