Well...I guess I need to say "Richard" Kinzel :D

First off, PKI isn't going to be selling it's park to Cedar Fair. The rides office would have no say in whether PKI would be sold or not... nor would the meeting that would've taken place have been in such plain sight. There's tens of people that work in the rides office that would leak the story and PKI's media team knows that more than most. Also, the "Big Guy" of Cedar Fair INC. most likely doesn't have the only say in what parks to buy or not. There's groups of people that need to approve changes like this. Ride swap... maybe. Park sellout... impossible.

Yeah, I just thought of that. If CF owned PKI, we would probably get some good roller coasters. There really aren't a lot of movies that you can build really big and fast roller coasters to by Paramount. And CF doesn't limit itself to movies. Also, things might take a turn for the worse since Viacom switched control of Paramount Parks from Paramount to Nickelodeon. I don't know if its going to become Nickelodeon Kings Island or what.
So did CF straighten out its Geauga Lake deal, or do the people between Toledo and Cleveland still need to buy two seasons passes?
Consider this though. Cedar Point always gets the best awards for its awesome rides and everything. But if they bought PKI, what reason would they have to put awesome rides at PKI? Cedar Point will always be Cedar Fairs flagship park. If there is a record to be broken by the Cedar Fair company, it will be broken at Cedar Point. Which means that PKI would always be limited to being in Cedar Point's shadow. We would get some alright rides I'm sure, like how KBF got Xcelerator. But we wouldn't get any record breaking coasters.
I'm not sure, but I think the only record KBF has is the biggest log flume ride in the world. CP had the first @ 200', the first @ 300', and the first @ 400'. They also have the most coasters.

OOOOOOHHHH! He was in the rides office! I misread that! :rolleyes:
Maybe they are going to buy a ride from PKI or sell one to PKI (hopefully). Or possibly, they were just trying to get some tips for their new ride next year. I can't remember if its an Intamin Gyro Swing or a Huss Giant Frisbee. But either way, its a ride PKI has a lot of experience with!

Craig Ross isn't in Rides!
Shessh. Ross is the GM of the entire park.
You people need to just stop jumping to conclusions.
The park isn't going to be sold, just because someone from Cedar Fair is there. I hate to tell you, Disney comes to the park too.... Are you gonna say we're being bought by them now too???!!!
