yeah casey, thats what the world needs. a theme park ran by jaded hipsters.

i can see it now.

all the employees would be required to be emaciated, pale and sporting beards. we could rename the rides to iconic indie albums that only Pitchfork devotees would find funny (”Raise Yr Arms Say Wheeee!”). we would only serve PBR in the can and completely inedible vegan snacks. and all game booth prizes would consist of either obscure 7″ singles, spiked stud bracelets or oversized belt buckles.

And that doesnt even begin to address the ironic musical revues that would be take place daily on the various stages around the park (”80s Hair Metal Tshirts-The Musical!”).

sign. me. up. yo.

Cedar Fair (who has one of the awesomer stock symbols - FUN) is trading at just shy of $17, which isn’t too terrible considering how things are going these days. Of course that was just south of $30 earlier in the year, but hey, everything sucks right now (thanks President Bush!!!). And no Universal or Disney for sure. I still think we should buy it.

I like the part about the better beer options. When I puke on someone after a good loop, it’s always a bonus to have the puke come from quality ingredients. Seriously.

ill let my rollercoaster nerdyness speak up here. more than likely, because no one could purchase the parks, not Six Flags, not Cedar Fair, no Universal and certainly not Disney, there is a very good possibility that the parks would operate as a free standing entity. The only disadvantage would be losing the Busch moniker.

But besides, as long as the parks remain profitable, id say they would remain under the Busch umbrella. they are posting a profit after all, which is all a company the size of InBev really cares about.

and honestly, if that means having InBev options like Hoegaarden and Stella available atBusch Gardens instead of the nasty stable of Anheiser products, then i say i welcome our new Belgian overlords!

How about the Rays move there and open Rays Baseball Land?
