WOW that is a shocker… First off I never really liked Tim Fisher. He acted like his $hit didn’t stink, and that he was better that everyone else there. I saw him a couple times in the park and I would say hi to him and he wouldn’t even say hi back. I am glad to hear that he is gone…GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!! Oh Wait I just read, he is only getting a bigger role now.

I was also shocked to hear about Watt. It really took me by surprise. He was the nicest person I had ever met. Anyone who had the opportunity to have met him will know the impact that he left. He would ALWAYS Walk around the park with a broom and Bucket in his hand. He would also talk with guests in the park. As a matter of fact a lot of the upper management would. Watt was one of those people who was never afraid to get his hands dirty. I have heard times of him working in the food stand during the employee parties. I do recall a time during the Preseason Celebration he cleaned up a mess on stage that some of the Employees had made during a skit. He would always say hi to you and talk to you like you were someone. I also had the opportunity to be able to work with his son. (That’s all I have to say about that)

I do remember that Bob has been a VP of Marketing at Carowinds if I am not mistaken. He is only coming back to his home park. Now a lot of those that were let go on Black Monday 1 year ago needs to be brought back.

Why should they bring alot of those back who were let go on Black Monday a year ago? What was so different from this year than it was last year. I personally think the park was better this year both employee and guest wise than it has been in years because of the upper management focusing on the actual park and not what was "funtastic".

The firings were financially motivated, nothing more, nothing less. They were some of the best people working for Carowinds at that time. Some of them had been there since the park opened in 1973. It happens all too much in todays corporate world. Kick out the old, bring in the new and pay them less.......

Yeah and that hasen't been the first time that has happened either @ the park. They did have a minor Budget cut back in 99. It wasen't real Public either. In Aug after the park went back to weekends. It was mostly the Newer people.
