Jeff, Catherine, Greg and Pat review this week's news in the amusement industry.

  • Six Flags outlines some of its plans for the new year.
  • Morey's Pier switches to magnetic cards instead of paper tickets. Good move for a classic operation.
  • Son of Beast will reopen without its loop. We're all scratching our head about what defines the ride.
  • Jeff and Cath do the Orlando thing.
  • Finding Nemo: The Musical is a winner at Animal Kingdom.
  • The buses at Disney World suck, especially if you stay at one of the value resorts out in the sticks.
  • People are abusing the accommodations made for the disabled, and the truly disabled people are the people who really lose.
  • Universal has a quality product, but they aren't very good at selling it.
  • In some cases they aren't respecting the time of their guests, and that's frustrating when you want them to succeed.
  • Lots of CoasterBuzz Club events are coming in 2007, including the Fall Affair at Holiday World, Saturday, September 29.
