While not strictly related to Hersheypark, but certainly having an effect on the local economy and the park, Hershey Foods has decided not to sell or move.

And the water coaster still should've been called "Hershey Squirt."

Jeff,
If it was Hershey Squirts they should have an opening on the bottom of the seat so you can take dumbs on the people!

In a radio blurb today, either the current head of the Trust of one of the trust members (I forget wich) stated that he believes that things will get back on the right track between the Trust and the community over the course of time... and as far the sale was concerned, he said he believes that over time people will see that the Trust was doing the right thing in persuing a sale.

Kind of hard to take a post as objective if a park or coaster name is part of the "user name"
Some potentially sweet revenge:
I just read in my local paper that a small group in the Hershey community (comprised mostly of activists, politicians and retired businessmen) are looking to have the current trust board removed to ensure the future of the company and everything related. The current board president is stating that a sale is no longer an option.
Other news:
From radio reports, a group of "minority stock holders" (I assume that the Trust of the Majority stock holder while all others are the minority holders?) is planning a law suit against the Trust because it changed its mind about the sale and thus they lost potential profit. Local "experts" say that this suit stands very little chance because precident is that a company can refuse an offer if "they think it would adverse affect the community."
To back up something that Rob Ascough just said:
Locally the current board of the Trust is looked at a bit cynically by many because, for the first time in its history it is comprised of people from "outside the area". Historically, most, if not all, of the members of the board called central PA home. Now many of them are looked at as "outsiders".
