Cedar Point employees prepare for opening day

In no way did i ever inply that that the slow in the economy was a recession. But the slow has made it easier for parks to find the type of employees that they want. There are less jobs out there for high school and college kids.

But while we are on the topic. Look at the recession during the begining of the 90's. Parks like CP had some of their best and most profitable times. People will look to more reasonable diversions with their spending money. Slight dips in the economy can help local entertainment venues as much as the best of economic conditions. The park must just alter the focus of the marketing. There is a clear connection betweeen parks inability to be fully staffed at the end of the century and the great economy, just as the inverse is true.
