New Head Guy at BGE

[cfc]

Busch Gardens Europe is getting a new chief (the old one is moving down to Tampa). Here's a link to the story from the Newport News Daily Press: http://www.dailypress.com/business/dp-biz_busch_1110nov10,0,1478579.story.

 

As for what this all means, only time will tell. This gent, John Reilly of Newport News, Va., worked his way up from food vendor by the Loch Ness Monster to the corporate HQ in St. Louis and has previously been in charge of food at Sea World and merchandise at BGA.

^Hopefully he will have the desire to keep BGE as the extremely good full park experience that causes me to drive 12 hours to visit it every other year. If I just want coaster I will go to Craptacular Point.

I always find these changes interesting. Here's to hoping fresh meat results in innovation and not stagnation.

^Euroburg did take a pretty big step with DarKastle a few years ago, but I reckon they'll coast on Griffon for another season, at least. I'd like to see them put in a new slide or two at Water Country (it's been a while).
