This is sort of off topic, but maybe not. I realize this is probably a stupid question, but here it goes. Hersheypark is getting rid of their Huss Condor. Do big parks (Cedar Fair) purchase from other local big parks (Hersheypark) with the intention of moving the item to their park? I can't think of an example where a major US park company has purchased a ride from another major US park company with the intention of moving the ride to one of their parks. I'm sure many exist, but I can't think of any.
Bottom line, any chance a Cedar Fair park picks up a Condor next season?

Cedar Fair brought a whole park for the purpose for relocating the rides(Geauga Lake) and elimitating competition. Btw, yanking your chain.

I am sure at some point in history what you are describing has happened but I can't think of any.

Not sure if you are talking to me or not. If you are, I am basically asking this... Since Cedar Fair is on a classic flat trend right now, any chance they attempt to purchase the Huss Condor that Hersheypark is removing at the end of the season?

Are you sure about that?

^ Wrong part of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CgbtC4Xh00 4:41 - 4:47.

[EDIT] I don't think the park was teasing anything. Just making a Jurassic Park reference to Dinosaurs Alive.

Is he supposed to do this before or after you leave another flower by Thunder Road?

Some quick highlights from the Cedar Fair Q2 Earning Call..

Speaking of water parks the expansion of rebranding of our water park at Carowinds has been extremely successful this year. The attractive growing Charlotte market continues to be an area we planned to invest in. This park has 100 acres of undeveloped land and similar to the playbook at Cedar Point we believe this area is to be well position for amateur-use sports facilities and resort development. Discussions and analysis are ongoing, we will be sure to keep you updated as our long-term strategic plan continue to progress for this market.

While our comments so far a primarily focused on the current operating season, I assure you we are already actively engaged in the execution of all strategic aspects of the upcoming 2017 season. This includes Mystic Timbers a world-class wooden roller coaster at Kings Island, which we just announced last week. Our major water park expansion at our Soak City Waterpark adjacent to Knot Berry farm and the extension of our operating season in three more parks where Winterfest will be introduced. More new risen attractions at our parks will be announced over the coming weeks.

Winterfest for 2016? I wonder where they would build the Sports Force facilities.

[EDIT] Never mind. The three additional Winterfest events are coming next year. I think the three parks will probably be Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Worlds of Fun.
