CoasterBuzz Podcast #21 - February 13, 2006

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

• Disney profit up. It's safe to say the post-9/11 travel slump is over.
• Media companies shed theme parks because they (or their investors) don't see the long-term value of owning the parks.
• George Millay: A rare figure in a relatively small industry.
• Six Flags owned Great Escape opens its indoor water park and resort. We place our bets on Six Flags Great Adventure as the next site for a facility like this.
• Shapiro visits Six Flags Elitch Gardens, and we might concede that this guy actually knows what he's doing.
• Disney struggles to close the cultural divide in the Hong Kong park. We remember that this isn't the first time they didn't get the locals.
• Cedar Fair on the up and up in every category. Place your bets on sustained growth!
