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

First off the Niners are still playing at candlestick and haven't have a new stadium in decades. Yes, the stadium would be in the parking lot for Great America, but considering Great America closes after Halloween I don't think it would be that big of an issue. Also from what I understand Cedar Fair does not own the parking lot land, it is owned by the city of Santa Clara.
The Santa Cruz boardwalk is in somewhat of a urban area. Santa Cruz is about 1/2 hour away from silicon valley. It does have one of the best wooden coasters I have even been on.
Alot of times its better all around looks/taste/quality
However the Restaurant next to Splash Mountain at WDW Magic Kingdom is quite possibly the slowest theme park restaurant I have ever been to. It's one of those places you stand in line 5 minutes to order then you stand in line another 30 minutes to get your food. Well since they don't let you refill yourself there was a guy who ordered right before us and only got 2 large Diet Cokes and had to wait 30 minutes for them. On top of that they weren't freshly poured drinks they filled them drinks right away when they came back and they got to sit there with the Ice melting in the 90 degree heat making all drinks watered down and nasty.
That was the only Theme Park Dining experience that I have to complain about well in Orlando back in May. The worse dining experience the whole trip was at a Ponderosa but I will not get into that.
