Physical, Did you do Garfield's Nightmare? I agree, Kangaroo was a really fun ride. -
They will only sell Michigan's Adventure IF they sell Cedar Point. TRANSLATION: They will never sell it. I heard Cedar Fair purchased it so Six Flags couldn't cause if they had Michigan's Adventure and Six Flags Worlds Of Adventure then Cedar Point would have been financially hurt. So they bought their competition. Also in the Press Release regarding Cedar Fair's purchase, The owner/manager was approached by Six Flags.

I realize that WDW can handle more crowds than it has to. My point was that after the big deal Disney made of the 50th anniversary, people started to realize the history of Disneyland vs Disney World. Yes, the number of annual pass holders is an issue. My family had passes in the early '00s, when an annual pass cost $99. Since then, the price has over tripled, showing Disney is getting tired of annual pass holders coming. Also, the amount of black-out dates on the lower tier passes shows they don't want pass holders there that often. Disneyland just happened to have its 50th anniversary during a time the economy began to recover. The real change was that Theme Parks went from being the expense people cut when the economy is down to an expense people splurged on again. Attendance is up everywhere in the industry over the last 10 years. The Disney Resort just happens to be the branch of the most famous theme park brand in the world in one of the most populous regions in the world. My personal opinion is that Disney still hasn't found an annual pass strategy that works for them...they upped prices and tweaked blackout dates and are still seeing record crowds. Seeing how many of my friends still have their annual passes and post about Disney, I am going to guess that their mix of attendance between regular park ticketed guests and AP's still isn't where they want it. I imagine that if they ended the Monthly plan on passes, That would probably cut AP's by alot.
