CoasterBuzz Podcast #124 posted

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

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

Halloween for kids. Jeff's research department determines Kings Island included it with normal admission.
Lo-Q kicking it financially with Six Flags.
The Gravity Group launches a podcast and blog.
Universal Studios Japan turns around with guru manager, addressing the cultural needs of the locals.
Disney is apparently not adding any big new thing for Orlando, but do they even need to?
The boys look around at renderings of Schlitterbahn's new Kansas City complex, which does not translate well to listening.
Hard Rock Park files for bankruptcy, and, big surprise, they say that a lack of out-of-market advertising was a problem. We were saying this at the beginning of the summer.
Talking about Hard Rock leads us to Universal Orlando, where we wax nostalgic about The Enchanted Oak, which is gone. But there's a lot of excitement building around the new Harry Potter stuff.
The Fall Affair was a great success. Voyage is still so physical, in a good way.
CoasterBuzz Club events coming up this year: BooBuzz at Cedar Point. Visit the CoasterBuzz Club page for more information.

BB is a solid triple off the wall (the "wall" in this case is that one hill early on that's about 8-10' higher than it should have been).

I have been on it and I thought it was good but not great. Maybe in the top third or so.

Calvin: "If your numbers go up, it means you're having more fun."
