Hey guys I'm back from the dead with a new name! If you want to know who I was here is a little hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmhoASKMmh0.

A lot has happened since I last posted on here like graduating from my early college/high school, getting accepted into UNCC , and doing a big coaster trip out west stopping at Knotts, SFMM, and Lagoon. (Which I may make a TR for if I can find the time to get it done). Also I started two Youtube channels, the main one with the same name as this account, and NewForNextYear where I make predictions/recreations of upcoming rides which has a few videos over 100k views, been used in several newspapers, and has one video that was featured on KCCI TV News in Des Moines!

It's been a while but I am glad to be back!

I'm pretty pissed about that and sad. I've seen Pinky (the flamingo) on several occasions. They were located in Jambo Junction across from the Nairobi Train Station and you could sometimes feed her (and some others in there). I may have a picture somewhere. If I find it I will share.

The guy who did it has had trouble with the law before, including cruelty to animals.

Lol:

SeaWorld could pursue a more “aggressive reinvestment” strategy and sell its Busch Gardens Parks, potentially to Cedar Fair FUN, -0.81% or Six Flags SIX, -1.92% for a resulting $1 billion in proceeds, Chaiken wrote in a note to clients. With that money, he said SeaWorld could pay down its debt, while adding 25 new roller coasters “which would help transform the experience of its park overnight.”


This guy is an analyst? Doesn't seem to understand much about the amusement industry. Adding a bunch of roller coasters all at once worked out SO well for Worlds of Adventure.

Also the idea of Cedar Fair or Six Flags getting a hold of the Busch parks sends chills of fear down my spine.

Even with Matt Ouimet at the helm, the idea makes me shiver. But Cedar Fair doesn't do animals (aside from petting zoos).

However, Six Flags does. Just.... ugh. :x

Seaworld needs to get out of the stock market that's the only way to help it's parks (my home park is seaworld orlando) every time I go there it's crowded so and Joel keeps on blaming Orlando I think there's something else he's not saying because every time I go every rides been 60 mins and back in 2014 it was 5-20 mins.I'm not sure what's going on

They actually haven't been blaming Orlando. Every time SW Parks talks about a decline, they mention the SoCal and San Antonio parks. Orlando isn't the problem.

And you can't just 'get out' of the stock market. People that own stock actual own a stake in the company. They'd have to agree to sell their stake.
