After the financial devastation of the pandemic is done, don't
be surprised if SFI and many other groups don't add for 2021,
2022 and maybe longer. The only thing even close to this in our
lifetime is 911. The economic disruption of this, will make 911
economic problems look small.

Parks especially chains that rely on early year attendance will
see a big impact on their bottom lines and will have to adjust.
It's too early to predict how long this will last and how it
will affect parks that generally do the bulk of their business I
summer with little to no early season.
I do agree SFI would be smart to dramatically scale back their
additions. but moderately priced capital improvements should
still be done.

Looks like Great Adventure, Doreny, and Cedar Point might not
have a season, and Hershey will probably open as soon as
Canymonium is approved or when Wolf approves, which ever is
best.

Barber Shops and the like can't open til the Green Phase in PA,
yet New Orleans is opening them not at 25% capacity. I feel that
is the best comparison in terms of density even though it wasn't
as hard hit as the North East or Seattle.

Density may be the same but how are numbers comparing. sadly the
reopening course seems to be in some cases very politically and
not scientifically driven.
I think that if numbers are stable or dropping, capacity is
limited and it's by appointment only salons and barbershops can
open. You can do everything supposedly right and still get
this. My grandfather was admitted to the hospital yesterday and
tested positive. he lives in assisted living and I have had
minimal interaction with him only dropping off a few store items
to the staff and was no more than 2 arms lengths from him for
less than a minute.

Most cases in PA are from Nursing Homes and children

Apparently Cedar Fair owned more land on the other side of the
road from SeaWorld/Wildwater Kingdom and looks like construction
will begin on a housing development over there. Still nothing on
park proper though.

interesting. I do think tat land will continue to be hard to
sell.

According to the SEA earnings call, it looks like they want to
aqquire smaller amusement parks and Water Parks to turn into
Sesame Places, as well as manage hotels.
Top locations:
-Texas, there used to be one near Over Texas. However, I say
Houston as they only have two (albeit seemingly awesome)
boardwalk parks.
-Ohio, maybe they could take back Geauge Lake or do something
with the Columbus Zoo.
-Acquire Parque Sesamo in Monterrey, I think this would be a
good test to expand internationally (possibly Canada)
-Acquire Schlitterbahn Kansas City, I think this is a big risk
but I think PA for the North East; SoCal; Florida w/ SeaWorld
Orlando; and TX for the South a mid-west option is a good one.
-If things go Well: Washington State, Ontario, and another in
the deep south might work.

Interesting news. I think it would be a good idea to buy other
small parks to make more sesame places as long as they don't
take over a park that is truly iconic that could backfire.
I agree they should buy the Kansas City property. that property
has enough room that outside fo the water park, which should
first be rebranded, They could build both a sesame place and a
Busch Gardens.
I also like the idea of Rebuildingon the Guarga lake property. I
think locals would love to see a park return but if they do this
they should make a point to add in a small Geauga Lake inspired
area on top of the sesame place. thing Seaworld Orland but
instead of sea world you rebuild a properly sized GL
park section.
