Can we get an expert to decipher what this means? It's like a foreign language to me.

Instead of refinancing thier current debt with the banks, which is due 'soon', they will issue these notes. I think.

They are refinancing some of their debt. Replacing $1.4 million credit facility with a $885 million credit facility and $500 million in notes. Line of credit under the new facility is about the same as it is under the existing facility ($255 million versus $260 million). Rest is term debt.

It's still all Greek to me. Then I realized I don't care, I just wanna have fun at their parks :)
