Michigan's Adventure's Roger Jourden recognized for business achievement

"Now I wonder why I even thought about going back into $14 million in debt for one ride," Jourden said. "But I drive by today and think that if I still owned it, the park would look different. There would be some steel in the air."

And a collective sigh comes out of the mouths of many MiAdv enthusiasts. I totally trust that CF is doing everything right when it comes to managing and developing the park. You gotta admit though that its pretty tantalizing to think about what a 14 million dollar steel coaster would look like at MiAdv.

Does anyone else feel like this park's success story is straight out of RCT?? I mean, the way in which it has been devloped, etc. You save up the money...go huge with an attraction...and reap the profits! Gotta love it!

That would be one expensive ride. The park at the time of sale was worth only twice that!
