CoasterBuzz Podcast #86 - August 27, 2007

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

• New park in Ontario, locals hope replacement of some lost jobs.
• Washington Post does a piece on the guys who do the daily maintenance on wood coasters. Jeff would be too lazy, Pat would be scared of the heights, Mike would love it.
• Stupid alleged criminal of the week: Woman steals $75,000 from Kings Island. Hello, did she not think of the auditing?
• Hong Kong Disneyland not hitting numbers, offering discounted student passes. Why do people criticize Disney for slow starts at new parks?
• Kennywood closes their dark ride, and we look forward to seeing what they do with that space going forward.
• Six Flags gets into the kids publishing business. Expanding the media empire or just creative marketing?
• Developer who wants to build a new park in Michigan outed as a bit of a failure by local paper. Because the location wasn't a dumb choice to begin with!
• It has been really wet all across the Midwest.
• The flyer is up for the CoasterBuzz Club Fall Affair. Download it now!
