State of the amusement industry

Well now that Mark Shapiro, the CEO of Six Flags, says they're wondering if Magic Mountain is worth even keeping open, it's an LA thing and LA media is interested. I just talked to the reporter at the LA Times about it all. Made me realize that between the Six Flags stuff and Cedar Fair's acquisition of Paramount Parks, the industry has never been in such turmoil. It's not that big of an industry to begin with!

A lot of it is still wait-and-see stuff. I think in the long run Six Flags will get its act together. I expect there will be some culture clash in the ranks of the CF-PP deal, but I bet that will smooth out in the long run as well.

I think it's going to a long, long run.
