That park does not need $20 million to reopen. It was a Six Flags, not Chippewa Lake Park. That being said, what does Ed Hart need the $300,000 a year for? His pockets?

If the Crown Plaza owner want to cough up $20 million himself, he is better off hiring a bunch of us park managers and save some cash. That park could reopen minus the Twisted Sister rehab probably for $3-4 million, plus a marketing budget.

To me he seemed to know what he was doing, I just hope they find someone at least as capable as he was.
