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

Disney profit up. It's safe to say the post-9/11 travel slump is over.
Media companies shed theme parks because they (or their investors) don't see the long-term value of owning the parks.
George Millay: A rare figure in a relatively small industry.
Six Flags owned Great Escape opens its indoor water park and resort. We place our bets on Six Flags Great Adventure as the next site for a facility like this.
Shapiro visits Six Flags Elitch Gardens, and we might concede that this guy actually knows what he's doing.
Disney struggles to close the cultural divide in the Hong Kong park. We remember that this isn't the first time they didn't get the locals.
Cedar Fair on the up and up in every category. Place your bets on sustained growth!
