Cedar Fair filing will detail executive payouts if they're let go by new owner

Bingo. If they want to be in the resort business then they need to follow the Disney model and make sure that there is something for the guests staying on property to do after the parks close. There is a lot of money that is being spent on the other side of the bay that could be filling their coffers.

There's a lot of money spent on beer bought on the mainland and consumed in Lighthouse Point cottages.

Oh boy, now you guys are really getting into my playhouse. The "resort experience" after park closing...or even late evening...is just sad. When the best they have to offer is a piano player in the lobby (do they even still have the piano players?) then you are woefully short of offering a "resort experience".

Ewwww... "Real glasses are gross. I saw on TV how most maids clean the glasses, and I will never use a hotel glass again. I must have a wrapped disposable cup, or else I'll use my cupped hand.

But if you want to be fancy, go ahead and drink from one. :)

OMG GERMS!

No. You saw on TV a sensationalized version of how a couple of housekeepers that they happened to catch clean.

In the real world, odds are that OTSR you pull down over your head is probably exposing you to more.

What did they do-- swish them around in the toilet bowl a few times? :)

If CF wants to use the term "resort," they have to understand what people think of when they hear that word. Chances are, it's not a camp in the Catskills anymore. You have to provide the resort experience, not just charge the resort price.

Ah, but Cedar Point doesn't have a campground, anyway. Only an RV parking lot. ;)

No, RGB. They just sprayed a squirt of Windex into the glass, and dried it out very quickly with a dirty towel, the same towel that they used to wipe the sink off with.

I'm no germaphobe, and that has kept my immune system in almost perfect condition, but I will not drink after someone I don't know in a cup that has Windex and sink grime in it. I just won't do it. :)

I see your point Gonch, because I like to study how TV influences my feelings (remember our Extreme Makeover conversation?), but after the image has been burned into my consciousness, I can't help but wonder if my housekeeper does it the same way. A throwaway cup wrapped in plastic is much more sanitary, and it's all I will use at a hotel.

Those shoulder harnesses that you speak of are probably worse, I'll agree, but I'm not licking them. ;)

How many of you don't wash your hands every chance that you get? I wash them every few hours or so, and if I ever get a cold, it's once every one or two years.

I've never stayed at Hotel Breakers, but I hear that it's just a step above Cedars employee dorms. :p

Or the Q-bot you slobber all over. :)

As the case may be. :)

But I'd drink out of a hotel glass, so what do I know?

You dirty, dirty boy.

I have sadly. I think the POW's at GITMO have better living conditions. The wireing was crapola. Make my XBOX go screwy. My only saving grace was I had a corner room w/ decent cross ventalation and a view.

Break out the world's tiniest violin- his Xbox wouldn't work. Comparing yourself to a Prisoner of war because you couldn't play video games is just sad man. (And yes I've stayed in Cedars too)

Hey now, the folks at GITMO aren't prisoners of war, are they? I thought they were enemy combatants. :)

Fun, It was a shocking comparison to drive his point. Entertainers and media do it all of the time. It's no biggie.

Sure, and we never call them out on it, either, right? ;)

Forget the glasses you knuckleheads. It is the bedspread that is gonna kill ya.

Lol, Skipper.
