Lets look at the current aquisition of Albertsons by Kroger. Kroger will be closing all Albertsons that are directly competing/in the same vicinity as the Kroger stores...over 400 of them. Its a business practice that happens during all mergers, and it can happen with this one.

Will the combined company keep/maintain two competing parks in the same market? If not, which will be sold off/closed down...Knotts or Magic Mountain?

Bring back the Airplane!

Enjoy Circus Circus while it lasts, it was just sold yesterday to Phil Rufin, the same man that bought Treasure Island and got rid of the Pirate show. Not saying he will get rid of the Adventuredome, but he is known to tighten the belt of the proprieties he buys.

Salt Lake City has an EXCELLENT zoo that you should check out. Park City is very close with some great hiking.

The one and only I ever rode was the Huss Enterprise at the World's Fair in New Orleans, La back in 1984

^ I really need a like button for that comment Robb!

From my visit to the park yesterday. It was brutally hot, btw.

Goudurix has similar inversions! This seems much smoother though!

They had just over 3 weeks for the build out of their entire booth(including the ride) for a show that lasted 4 days!

So...what will the new theming for Apocalypse be?

I like what Screamscape is saying, in that its going to be a MACK racing coaster. That could be pretty KICK A$$!

The trains have been completely over-hauled several years back. The coaster still rides pretty much the same way it did when I first rode it back in 1998.

The waterparks here in Vegas have been open since mid April or earlier...and we are never warm or hot in April...usually the 70's. So, the parks in SoCal have no excuse not to be open.
