Unfortunately, KD is the ultimate "Maybe next year" park. After that new water park expansion, they desperately need the stand-out ground-up coaster if they want to keep up.

KD has been my home park for 28 years, and the decline in quality the last decade has been extremely noticeable. I used to be a season pass holder but not anymore, and only go a few times a season, the coasters and water park heavily being the reason I go back. I'm really hoping they hit a home run with whatever they replace Volcano with, because it really needs it, I just don't feel the same standards when I go to the park that I did 15 years ago. I prefer the extra hour drive to go to BGW, especially with Pantheon now making their coaster selection overall better imo

KD needs to focus on improving the overall visitor experience. This is why Busch Gardens is hitting it out of the park. One off investments in a high-profile attraction will barely make a dent because guests would rather go get lost in "Europe land" for a day, with its immersive guest experience suitable for all ages. KD needs transformational Investments in guest experience, because everything in the park feels kind of random in comparison to Busch Gardens. If Cedar Fair doesn't see the potential in making those transformational Investments, then right on them to let the park decline. Busch wins. 🏳️

Why doesn't King's Dominion consider investing in landscaping? Holy moly, the aerial shots of K.D are depressing, whereas BGW is full of trees and looks far more inviting. Sure, you go for the roller coasters, but it'd be nice if the park was pleasant looking while walking around, too.

Having a season pass for both parks, I much would rather go to BGW than KD. BGW is quality over quantity and is really good and just has a good vibe. KD just has quantity and doesn’t get frequent good additions like BGW.

A good way for Kings Dominion to escape this position is to make The Battle for Kings Dominion playable again, as well as them adding a few minor tweaks to make the game more interesting

Kings Dominion is a top-tier Cedar Fair park for me, as I had a fantastic time there. Although I've only been to CGA, KBF, CP, KD and Carowinds, so maybe my perspective is screwed. They sure as hell have a fantastic lineup though, with i305, TT, FOF and even Dominator.

Worlds of Fun : " You wanna talk about being neglected by Cedar Fair...... people don't even know that Worlds of Fun is owned by Cedar Fair. "

IMO KD needs something that will meet or exceed what Volcano was. Personally would like to see a record breaking launched wing coaster. Also make the lockers at the rides free of charge. KD could learn a thing or two from parks like Universal who does that. That may go a long way in people’s eyes.

“Freespins are super cheap at $6 million” Me: I got $20 ._.

the fact that they haven't gotten rid of volcanos station (i think) has to mean they definitively have something planned. i love KD, i really hope it doesn't fall into neglect

It isn’t in trouble. It attracts enough attendance to survive.

Fury is a pretty good coaster with surprisingly intense elements

It's unfortunate to see this happening to KD, having it as my home park All we can hope for at this point is a reasonable Volcano replacement, which really is unfortunate to have to hope for

The worst part is how the set up those locker rental system to replace the old free lockers which is bs

Haven’t been to King Dominion since 1995... they need to bring back the summer concerts!!

It’s the county’s fault as well. Before Cedar fair invested heavily in Carowinds, Cedar Fair approached the county for tax incentives to invest more in the area. The county that Carowinds is in gave them the tax incentive. And the county that Kings Dominion is in did not. Citing they’re going to invest anyways. And now we are getting under invested in.

At this point when it comes to my two home parks. It always comes to Kings Dominion or Busch Gardens, and at this point I almost always end up choosing Busch Gardens. I feel they have a better line up, and just a better overall vibe

Actually the failure of KD, KI, and Carowinds all began with the Paramount Era... 70's and 80's were the epic years for these parks ~

KD needs to step up and add more staff/security to keep the heathens in check. When people act like animals in a park with fighting, running, cussing, people start leaving to go to elsewhere. It’s a shame, We have been going there for over 40 years, park has really gone downhill the past 10. Real Shame.

Speaking from my own experience, the park seems to have fallen quite far from where it was 10+ years ago. I recently went there, and the day I went, quite a few of the rides were down. The stunt coaster, the flight of fear, and the dominator. Maybe it was just a bad luck day, but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth, considering what I paid to get in. I don't know when I'll go back, but I hope it's not like this again.

I’d rather go to Kings Dominion than Six Flags America.

I've been going to KD since I was little back when there was hanna barbera land and smurf mountain. Absolutely love I 305 and FOF. Unfortunately several of the older coasters are becoming increasingly rough rides. The Grizzly used to be one of my favorites but it now the amount of a beating you take riding it takes a lot of the fun out. Haven't been to BGW in a long time, but it has a better atmosphere but at that point the coasters were pretty tame I reckon they have gotten better since then.

I love KD but it’s really unfortunate that they’ve taken out so many rides. Just imagine if they still had Volcano AND the insane hypersonic XLC (I’m old enough to remember it and it was more intense than top thrill dragster) along with what they’ve got now.

Dude your insane!!! You should have way more viewers!!! What a video!!! Keep it Up!!!

i work in bobbejaan land as an ride operator for dreamcatcher etc, i can confirm, fury is really nice, backwards is crazy

I remember being bummed out when Cedar Fair bought the park and they renamed so many attractions, BUT then being super stoked a few years later when I saw all the amazing new additions they were adding. But then as you've pointed out, it has slowly declined over the years.

The soul of any large theme park is a steam railroad. Once they are gone or removed the decline will begin and the warmth will eventually vanish. Thanks for sharing, the park will make it. It's just not what it could be to those who really remember. 👍

I’m 90% sure the seatbelts on some of the trains on Racer 75 literally don’t work, I was wondering why I got so much airtime and I was genuinely impressed that I went for the reride the first time as it is my home park and that is where I noticed it, they’d pull up despite being buckled in as if they were broken from the other side. I don’t know if it was a problem with ride ops or a mechanical issue, and I don’t know whether to embrace it or to fear it because the lap bar is pretty wack.

Great video man, i love KD! Been vlogging here a lot lately and i would love to see this coaster addition. I would also love a wing coaster… either or really :)

I wouldn’t consider dominator to be a large investment considering it was r relocated

Great video. You put what I’ve been thinking for so long into words. When I went to this park in 2010 for the first time I was blown away and thought of it as the best park in the southeast and 2nd best Cedar Fair park. I found it better than BGW, better than Hershey, and even thought it was better than its sister park Kings Island. Since then, those 3 parks have grown tremendously, and Kings Dominion has shrunk. It’s insane how fast it declined. The removal of Volcano was the KO punch for me. What was once an amazing 1-2 punch of two unique, top-tier coasters is now just the still awesome I305 and a middle of the road RMC. I like Twisted Timbers a lot but it pales in comparison to other RMCs for me and is nowhere near enough to make up for the loss of Volcano.

I totally agree with the coaster recommendation!! That would be the perfect addition to the park and its location within the park!

I used to visit KD all the time when I was younger but I haven't been in yearssssss and it's an 80-90 minute drive to the park for me.

KD never had the any of the attributes that have historically ranked Busch Gardens so highly, but they historically had unusual, whacky, and intense rides. They have removed many of those rides, and what is left is a relatively dreary park with a strange layout whereas BG is constantly adding new things and continues to maintain a park with world-class theming, landscaping, dining, family rides, thrill rides, and entertainment. KD lacks the family atmosphere, they lack any real draw for those who aren't big coaster people (which Hersheypark and BG both nail), and now they are starting to lack the very rides that is really their only draw. I'm not even sure if a single coaster will be enough to right the course. It's a good start, but they need to improve the overall visitor experience, which Cedar hasn't done a very good job at IMO.

Worlds of Fun is in the situation. The last new coaster they got was a GCI called Prowler in 2009.

I thought you should know BGW is going through as much a struggle, if not, Pantheon would be open now.

I went to Kings Dominion for the first time in 2018. I was impressed. It was clean and just a beautiful park. I do not think Kings Dominion is in that much "trouble". They will add something nice after getting their 4-D freespin. As far as the coaster removals go, the only one that would be missed would be Volcano. I do understand the reasoning removing Volcano though. Kings Dominion will not fall into Cedar Fair's lower tier parks. The park is just too beautiful for that to happen.

I think the fact that They are replacing the crypt with a free spin is a good sign. Cedar fair always likes to pit in cheap "filler" coasters before adding a bigger investment. Adding a free spin will also be great because there's nothing else like in the area, so it will be super unique. This will also give Cedar Fair more time to prepare a proper replacement for Volcano. I think the closure of Volcano combined with the opening of Pantheon will make Cedar Fair put a bit more attention on this park. As someone whose home park is KD, I can say that Cedar Fair still takes great care of the actual park itself, they just need to start focusing on attractions again.

Makes sense. They built up Kings Dominion after they bought it and now it's good for a few years. They're shifting to Carowinds since that actually has a possibility of return on investment. Growth to the park is possible, since Raleigh is like fastest growing area in country (or one of them) and no nearby real competition.

Not sure where all this doom and gloom is coming from. Cedar Fair has removed 2 coasters and transformed, what evolved into a miserable wood coaster, into a unique RMC creation. Shockwave was removed because the Japanese company that made it is no longer in business. Parts were scarce and very expensive to replicate. Keep in mind that the TOGO stand-ups were removed at sister parks Kings Island and Canada's Wonderland within 2-3 years of Shockwave's removal at KD. Volcano was a unique coaster and was popular with the public. But, it was Intamin's only full circuit launched suspended coaster. No other coaster of this type was built by Intamin. They did a hand-full of short shuttle coasters. This ride was plagued with major down time; especially, in the later years of its life. Since it was "one of a kind", Intamin most likely did not stock parts for it. If KD needed a replacement part, they would have to order it and have the part custom made. That is down-time and expense the park did not want to deal with anymore. To complicate things more for Volcano, the ride was designed to fit in and around an existing structure, the mountain. But, that mountain was not designed for Volcano. It had large openings cut through for the train to pass through in several places and a couple hundred holes to allow the coaster supports to come through it. The mountain looked like swiss cheese. I firmly believe that was causing the mountain to deteriorate even faster than expected, with water taking its toll on the steel supports and causing the concrete skin to break up in freeze-thaw cycles in winter. With the Crypt, it was manufactored by Huss. They put out some unique flat rides; but, those rides did not have long life spans. As they aged, Huss rides were tearing themselves apart. Kings Island took out their model of Huss's top-spin ride several years ago. Another CF park removed their version 2-3 years ago. I realize that some feel Cedar Fair has not replaced attractions fast enough. But, to say Cedar Fair is ignoring KD is wrong. We have the region's only RMC coaster and the tallest coaster in I-305. We have Delerium pendelum ride. The park is putting back theming and increasing landscaping, improving the food quality and variety. Been working on the entertainment offerings for the last 5-6 years. We have new attractions for the waterpark this year and it sounds like 2022 is already in the bag. If your underlying complaint is we don't have a 20+ million dollar coaster going into the park anytime soon, then that is the reality of things, we either accept it for now or take our money elsewhere.

I am sad seeing this happen to KD, I have lived about 30 minutes away from it my whole life and went many times almost every summer that I can remember. I didn't get to enjoy many of the rides until it was too late as while I was younger I was absolutely terrified of coasters with anything upside down. I realized I was missing out when going on the volcano, but I did not get to ride it nearly as many times as I could before it closed down.

1 coaster in a decade? How about Valleyfair not getting any for 13 years... 😅

I went this weekend and all the rides had delays due to mechanical issues. I had fun but it was a little irritating waiting longer on line when you have a fastlane pass 😆. I do miss volcano though and I hope they redo the ride. I was disappointed that intimidator 305 never recovered on Saturday. I hate to see anything go wrong and lose the park. This is my childhood park.😢

Fury at Bobbejeanland is amazing! It was my 300th credit and It’s good forwards, but tremendous backwards. Love it, and I’d love to see a similar model anywhere in the states!

My family has season passes to both KD and BGW. KD is always going to be the one closest to our hearts for various reasons, but if I had to choose one pass to keep, it would probably be BGW. It really just has more to offer at the moment. I wasn't pleased when I saw so many great rides being removed and the big upgrade was to the water park.

It is because CedarFair is not getting the tax breaks like they get at Carowinds for investing in the park at KD. If they got a break or something like that, I think they would reinvest. Also I 305 was too intense to be a good return on investment, and needed to be a more traditional Giga than what it was. I think if they added an airtime hill right after the drop with a big & tall turn around with another airtime and then turning into the hill under the lift hill with a midcourse break run would really improve the ride for the GP, and I think most enthusiasts would like redesign as well.

KD was my home park growing up as well and I have so many fun memories. My cousin and I used to ride on Anaconda over and over again, despite how jarring and headbanging it was, just because it was the biggest and most intense ride we were able to go on (we weren't tall enough to ride Volcano and others yet). The change in the park was definitely noticeable once Cedar Fair took over and you are right that the park has felt neglected for a long time now. I sincerely hope KD can regain its former glory with time. RIP Volcano

The problem is that Cedar Fair took a risk with I305, and unfortunately it didn't pay off. I305 is a great coaster, but it's far from GP-friendly - most people find it way too intense. And for such a big investment that's a HUGE problem. Truth is, it's the GP that makes these parks money, not enthusiasts, and KD doesn't really appeal to the GP as much as other parks. It's not exactly the best landscaped and its selection of rides is heavily skewed towards high-intensity even compared to other Cedar Fair parks. And this especially hurts it due to its relative proximity to Busch Gardens Williamsburg which is a FAR more GP-friendly park.

Kings Dominion is still the preferred park in the greater Washington Metropolitan area. I know, because I live there and most of the people in the greater DMV region prefer KD. The company knows this.

Damn. That backwards coaster even had the same color supports and track as volcano

I think that he's right on the money on building the Gerstlauer to replace Volano:The Blast Coaster. After that, they still need to add a great B&M hyper, and then, they will be back in business. They also need to fix whatever has turned Dominator into a headache inducing jackhammer. It was once a class A roller coaster. Anyone who rode this when Kings Dominion first acquired it, and then again in the last 4-5 years, knows what I'm talking about.

I went this past weekend with my girlfriend, rode the grizzly Shenandoah log ride and Anaconda (which made my left leg shake very violently and gave me whiplash) but overall as a first timer rider it wasn’t to bad and I didn’t get sick 👍

I think they should move wicked twister to KD instead of selling or demolishing it. It’s compact size would be perfect for KD as it would still allow space for another coaster or 2, and the novelty will help bring in more customers. Also with the 4d free spin and the relocation, KD could realistically still add a new major coaster and BOOM 3 new attractions in a short period of time. I think that would help to fix KD’s issues (although to be fair, I do enjoy the THRILLS at KD more than BGW)

Until they start popping up ima keep saying axis because it will 100% be a huge standout wherever it goes in

KD is my home theme park for nearly 45 years and have seen a lot of change. Most people dont even know they had a “wild animal” section or gondolas. I love this park…but since Paramount left the park has been in decline but the top reason for the negative impact is the closing of Volcano. Hands down that was the BEST roller coaster of ANY thrill ride I have ever been on. I know maintenance cost were high but once that ride left it felt the park was nurtured. They need to bring back a Volcano replacement and in my opinion that should be the #1 priority.

Cedar point is my new home park, but because they closed Geauga Lake. So as much as I understand your point, I also hope you don’t take what you got for granted, especially that awesome relocated coaster called Dominator.

Infinity coaster would be fantastic but they need a crowd pleaser to replace volcano and drive attendance up. B&M may not be the best option but it's usually a safe bet.

the coaster could be called revenge of the volcano

I live 2hrs away. And have seen absolutely zero marketing

I would kill for Dorney Park to get a 4D free spin instead of a new park bench and a trash can every year

It's the management. Every since the Shockwave was removed, Kings Dominion has been going down hill.

Fury at Bobbejaanland is an amazing coaster, I live 1h30m away from it and it is in my opinion the 3th best coaster in Belgium. The price of this ride was also very low, with the ride only costing 4 million. The only downside is capacity.

I used to love KD and I still go there but I work at BGW and the employees at KD are just getting ruder and the service is dropping I hope they can make a come back in the future but I think BGW is the best place for me to stay right now

It does make me sad. Kings Dominion is my 2nd favorite Cedar Fair park. They have 2 of my all-time favorite coasters, plus a nice supporting collection, and an easily accessible waterpark. On my Virginia week in 2018, even with Volcano closed, I liked it more than BGW. I hope they get it turned around.

first video i’ve seen from you and i’m already subscribing

As a belgian watching this video I certainly did not expect Fury popping up!

I live by Dorney Park and trust me, Kings Dominion is in WAY better shape. Dorney is lacking so far behind and what's sad is that Hersheypark and Six Flags Great Adventure are literally not far away.

I wish the parks where an hour apart. More like 2 hours at best with no traffic.

I'm surprised Cedar Fair has not put more priority into this park as it's near three major cities (Baltimore, DC, Richmond) and not far from Busch Gardens

Volcano was my favorite coaster of all time… i haven’t been back now that they took it down.

Of the coasters removed, all hit the end of useful life. IMHO Shockwave's useful life was done in 2001 and it stuck around for years. Hurler was rough and Volcano couldn't stay open, even for an Intamin... Oh and the Crypt don't have parts. King's Dominion I think got hurt with I-305 in a way it shouldn't with a giga. A giga should be increasing the attendance and so should an RMC. I honestly think a GCI could help though a Gerstlauer isn't a bad option either.

I’m here now. It’s spotless. The lines were 25 min tops. Everyone was friendly. Twisted timbers was amazing. I305 was intense. The dark coaster was wild. At one point I don’t know which way was up. 2022 was solid.

New Subscriber here, you’re stuff is dope af

I love the Infinity coaster prediction seems to fit kd perfectly but I bet they are concerned with capacity limits

I’m just waiting for KD to find some funding for a new coaster. It needs to be something big like Pantheon at BG Williamsburg. An inverted would be nice considering there isn’t one anymore. But I’d rather see a Euro fighter. The 4D will be fun, but that’s not going to draw in enthusiasts like a highly themed multi launch like pantheon would.

“Let me explain” ad: *no*

One thing that would help King's Dominion is to have more attractions in the area. While Busch Gardens is a great park, it also has Colonial Williamsburg and other historic sites as well as shopping and several restaurants, motels etc. It's also not that far from Virginia Beach.

I305 is the perfect example of why intensity isn’t everything. They thought building i305 would have the same effect and popularity as millennium force, but it barely has a line most days. The same goes for skyrush. Most people would rather ride candymonium.

Agree with you about KD's decline. Almost feels like it is getting the Geagua Lake treatment. I get that they have rebranded a few restaurants this season, and that's nice and all, but so much is lacking about this park. They need to focus on landscaping, maintenance, and improving the park. It's just sad. There has been no visible progress in the off-season at the Crypt site, short of removing the ride. The track has just sat in the lot. The future does not look good for KD at this rate.

I grew up closer to Busch Gardens. Now, back in the 1980s to early 1990s (the King Dominions Golden Age) there was something magical about Kings Dominion. Being a kid in the early 80s Hanna Barbara Land was a big thing.

I grew up going to KD in the 90s and it always felt strange going out there after they got rid of the Hannah Barabara tie ins. My heart will always be with Smurf Mountain and Yogi Bears Cave.

They should put in a Dive coaster that goes straight into a Volcano

Be happy your home park isn’t Knott’s Berry Farm lol Cedar Fair’s year round cash cow. The money we spend every month goes to Giga’s at carowinds and kings island. Meanwhile we get a mini infinity coaster. Every time we renew our pass we talk about whose park we are going to buy a Giga or Mack multi launch for next lmao

i think i could see a launched vekoma flying coaster like the one at fantasialand rather than a gerstlauer. it would be much more gp friendly and resemble volcano a lot. Also, a triple launch coaster like fury is a bit similar to tempesto and pantheon an hour away where as a flying coaster is nothing like bgw’s lineup

Great vid 👍

As a former KD employee, Cedar Fair 100% neglects rides nowadays for KD. They focus more on entertainment and theming in current times. In my opinion, it's bad balancing. Instead of an overall makeover, they choose one area and half ass it for years and move one. As a person who's lived DC and Richmond area my whole life, hands down have never once willingly chose KD over BG, only doing so because of costs. But KD's treatment to employees and guests is an absolute disaster. Literally disgusting. Theme park employees have similar complaints but other Cedar Fair Parks and BG definitely all treat their employees less like trash than at KD. Employees reflect the park. If anything should be their next focus- it's that.

i remember all of the rides i use to go to there. 😭😭 i lived only 20 minutes away me and my family would go every weekend

Unfortunately, I know from first hand sources, that King's Dominion's biggest problem is probably their clientele. You wouldn't think, being in the middle of nowhere, the park would attract families, chaperone school trips, churches groups, other clubs and so on. But, the park seems to be getting a more and more problematic clientele from the inner cities of DC and Richmond. People don't want to go there anymore when they can drive the extra 45 miles uses to a safe clean park like Busch Gardens that has for the most part managed to keep that element out. Even if not strictly for safety concerns, no one wants to stand in line with their young kid next to a bunch of teenagers spewing streams of non-stop profanity. The same thing happened to Six Flags America just outside DC years ago; it's amazing what a few widely covered large scale knife fight brawls in the parking lot can do to a park's attendance. And from a corporate standpoint, is it really a good idea to drop a huge amount of money into into a major new ride for a park that could see it's attendance cut in half by just one or two instances of people getting beaten to a pulp or stabbed or such?

One thing you didn't mention was demographics. I remember DC being a very dangerous place when I was younger. Then, in the late 2000s, DC became gentrified and the surrounding areas became degraded. Dont get me wrong, DC is still a pretty dangerous city in certain areas but definitely not what it used to be. This phenomenon hit Six Flags America HARD! I remember in the early 2010s people were planning mass gang fights on twitter to take place IN Six Flags America. I don't think anything like that happened at KD but I do think there is a correlation there.

I haven’t been to KD since covid started. Just went back this summer and the short lines were honestly has made the park and we even got a season pass because of the short lines for some fun rollercoasters. I stopped going because it was to crowed before covid.

I've been to that park so many times as a kid. These panning aerial shots are making me tear up a little bit

I remember when they rebranded to Paramount King's Dominion. As a kid, Six Flags and Kings Dominion was one of two places your family went in the summer or spring break. Busch Garden was never the first choice for any kid growing up in the Maryland/DC area. When they became Paramount KD, the Joker and Superman rides overshadowed alot of old favorites like the Avalanche bobsled ride.

I worked in Planet Snoopy. I don’t know about the financial well being of the giant rides, but those kiddie ones are constantly breaking down. I literally almost got electrocuted at Joe Cool’s Driving school. Not almost, I did lol. Working there was pretty trash, they fire people who have worked there for years in a heartbeat, and make new employees supervisors. I don’t know why I’m here, I just saw KD in the title and started venting.

A single rail coaster would do well at kings Dominion rail blazer can easy fit into volcano plot of land with a moving station.

a gurstlauer would be a great addition to the park. another inexpensive proposition could be a custom raptor like jersey devil.

Watching this at KD

It's still a great park. Best it's ever been except the month when TT and Volcano ran at once. It was unfortunate they couldn't have squeezed at least a year out of that combo even if it couldn't last. Their more recent closure, changes of schedule and Cedar Fair's change of policies are also disappointing. BGW's also had some smaller coaster additions recently, and the park needed them. I think CF gives KD what it needs. It needed something big in 2010. It needed to work on infrastructure and kids for a while after that. The new coasters don't seem to bump them up but KD would be fading out without them. It keeps the money machine going. They've been doing more events and now seem to be really trying with food, as part of the current CF strategy. However, while I truly believe KD does have a better coaster lineup right now than BGW even with Pantheon, I also believe it is essential that this remain so or KD truly will be in trouble, because of the more unique aspects of BG. Note that KD currently has two coasters in the TPR "top 25 overall" list, behind only CP, while BGW has none. A rather selective measure to be sure, but I didn't make it up. Quality AND quantity ... but both parks offer a far more pleasant experience overall than the more overpopulated ones.

I think the number one reason KD is failing is cause Cedar Fair is mistreating it. Cedar Fair gave KD the Dominator and Intimidator, but now add nothing. They've only added ONE COASTER in the last 10 years. Sure, they're working on a free spin, but that can't save a park. Twisted Timbers is a great coaster, but there are way better hybrid coasters like Steel Vengeance or probably Iron Gwazi. And with the lack of new coasters, Cedar Fair makes it worse by removing like three times as much popular rides as adding them. Shockwave, Tornado (that one gets a pass its understandable I forgot whether or not someone died but I know there were severe injuries on it), Crypt, Hurler, and, the one we miss the most, Volcano: The Blast Coaster. In this dangerous time for KD, only one thing can save them: bringing back the Volcano or making an even better coaster such as a (not a winged coaster they look cool and that's the only good thing) hypercoaster or, like you said an infinity coaster. I would love to see a new inverted coaster, but no inverted coaster could be better than Volcano. Busch Gardens went through the same thing, though. The removal of the Big Bad Wolf. But they survived. And the 4D free spin would be good, but Cedar Fair really needs to take action of they could lose a great park.

Kinda sad. Cedar Fair made big bank off this park only to leave it in the dust. Maybe they should just sell the property to some other company. At least Six Flags doesn’t have the issues.
