Not pissed at all....I'm glad that Cedar's is making a bunch of good changes. Maybe I'll start going to Canada's Wonderland again instead of Cedar Point for a change. It's about damn time! |
Amen to that.
I welcome Cedar Fair with open arms. They actually know how to operate a theme park and it shows through their hordes of other successes.
Paramount bought Wonderland in 94 and added Top Gun.. errr.. Flight Deck in 95 (only 4 years after Vortex). Here we are 13 years later and we're just now getting another coaster. Makes me wonder how long Paramount would've waited.

Most stadiums nowadays change their name. Sponsorship = $$$$
Fed Ex Field, Gillette Stadium, K-Y Sports Arena etc. |
