I ment upgrades with the IT equipment like the cash registers used as each food service stand and used at the main ticketing counter. So that CF would have to bring the system online with their home office server for things like price changes updates memos ect.

I was talking about the merger transition since I am in IT. About how all of the systems integerations that they would have to do on the back end area after the buyout of paramount parks. I really did not mean this to be a joking topic. I was only talking from experience.

Seriously, I don't think a lot of stuff like this will be considered until after the end of the season when the parks close. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter. Only when sales finalize, do things like that happen. In fact, there might not be any kind of change at all between the parks. We just don't know right now.

They might not even change any equipment, etc. They use what's installed at the two seperate chain of parks and let them run as normal. Only the accounting area might change as far as figures out.

I worked for a company that got bought out. There was very little difference between the two. The biggest changes were marketing. Other than that, you really couldn't tell on the surface that the company had been sold. The day the merger was announced, we actually had people come into the store asking if they could use the company that bought us out's credit card. It was only announced in the paper that morning. The sale was even finalized yet. I just wonder how many idiots have gone to a Cedar Fair park wanting to use their Paramount pass.

Probably the biggest change we'll see first will be season passes. They usually go on sale around August, so if the sale is clear by then, that would be our first inkling of what's going to happen.

Again, everything is just a wait and see situation.
