I once put salt on my Cheerios, by accident.
I once crashed my car into a stop sign, by accident.
I am really working my brain to come up with some way that one could, theoretically, build several multi-million dollar roller coasters by accident, and I'm not coming up with anything, unfortunately.
I'll get back to you.

As and HFE fan, I don't want to see the Herschends attempt to take on ANY of the Six Flags parks for sale. The Six Flags parks are completely different from what HFE does - spending millions to buy, then reinvent them seems too risky. It could break the company.

Plus, look at what they've put in thier parks in the last few years: two Disk'O, two GCI woodies, an S&S launched coaster, and the first Topple Tower and Eurofighter in the 'States.
I get the feeling they want to be trend setters, rather than follow the trend of the day (read: Six Flags). Plus, a reliance on theming never hurt a park. *** Edited 11/12/2006 12:52:42 AM UTC by Arson***

^ The parks (other than Magic Mountain) DO have potential. Look at a park like Celebration City (if it wasn't located so close to SDC, it would be a nice "small" family park). I could see that same business model applied to Darien Lake and Eltich Gardens.
Magic Mountain has alot of potential! look at that LA times artical posted, Read the part where the park draws 2.5-3 million people a year. If they put a decent advertisements advertising the park and taking out Flashback and alot of the trees making it a kids section of the park. I can see 4.5-5 Million visitors a year at the park because it would include somthing for familys aswell as thrill seekers.

Maybe someone else wanted them built, and were coming in for a signature and they did the whole thing like kids try when they want their parents to sign a bad report card without reading it? You know, where you put a piece of carbon paper between the sheets and have them sign something trivial?
Oh! I know! They were asking him for an autograph, and had the coaster contract underneath, and when he went to sign the autograph, they shifted the paper slightly so he signed the contract and didn't know it!!
