EDIT: According to this https://www.dorneypark.com/blog-article ... ike-Fehnel he wasn't even GM at Dorney a full year. This guy must be good?
From what I gathered from the person I was talking to at the park on Friday, this was so recent that most people at the park didn't know about it, lol. That could be why there isn't a press release yet.
I also got the impression that Cedar Fair is putting together a "dream team" of sorts to help guide the park through the next several years of capital investment. They really are going out there and getting the big guys from the other parks and putting them here. This new GM makes two high profile spots that have been filled by folks who have taken their parks down the same road Carowinds is headed down now. I'm serious when I tell yall that this dream team is focused like a laser on where they want this park to be in the next decade or so. They love the culture that Carowinds has/had and are going to be working hard at making it right. The quote was "What Dollywood is to Tennessee, we want Carowinds to be that for the Carolinas."
And to keep it on topic - I asked about the plans for the plantation house and was informed that changes to that are part of the plan. He laughed and said they had to keep some stuff under wraps for the announcement and he didn't elaborate any further. I believe his statment was something along the lines of "there is SO much more planned for next year that we aren't worried about the stuff that has leaked out."
