 Alrighty, so I have an interesting business theory to go over in today's video. My team and I have done a ton of discussing lately on Cedar Fair and business, and for anyone that knows me well, this is my favorite subject matter. So we all know at this point that Carolin's and Canada's Wonderland were the spoiled eldest siblings in the Cedar Fair family for 2019 and both announced some pretty crazy coasters, along with some unannounced areas. So Carolin's has provided a bit more information along with Copperhead Strike than Wonderland has, but both parks are teasing more to come, which is extremely interesting. We have seen this in the past for King's Dominion. They kind of did like, what's in the shed? Or sorry, that was King's Island. King's Island did like, what's in the shed? Hashtag, which left people wondering over, you know, the winter months, what was coming. So we have seen this in the past, but this is a little more interesting. Lots of people have been left sitting in front of their computer screens, questioning why not all details were released? This is a great question and something we don't always see for announcements. Lately we're seeing parks have later announcements, not announcing anything until a project is nearly complete, or like Cedar Fair, having multiple announcements. Multiple announcements you may be asking, well, here's where my theory comes into play. So we all know Cedar Fair likes to have multiple sales throughout the off season of their season passes. Well, when a park announces a coaster that in itself boost season past sales in the August, September months, fast forward to winter sales and you have the opportunity to boost Christmas and winter sales by announcing the, in quotations, other special details that the parks are holding to help continue boosting those past sales for winter and their slowest quarter. So as you see here, covering the western portion of North Carolina and Silver South and a sliver of South Carolina's upstate, the Blue Ridge Mountains region offers a majestic landscape, vibrant colors and undeniable charm. Enjoy the natural easygoing culture of the Carolina mountains at Blue Ridge Junction, a new immersive seven acre themed area at Carolin's, sit a spell and savor homegrown flavors at our new Blue Ridge Country Kitchen restaurant or hang on tight and get twice the bite during a high speed backwards chase on the new Copperhead Strike. The Carolin has first double launch coaster plus plenty of surprises ahead. It's all coming down to the summer months or something like that, I just missed it, but Canada's one of them has something similar. So skip ahead to more recent years under the Cedar Fair's ownership. They're just discussing, you know, Cedar Fair is bringing Frontier Canada to life, which is awesome. They talk about how Yukon Strakers the new dive coaster and as to what else is in store for Frontier Canada? Well, everyone will just have to wait and see. Canada's one of them staff are excited to finally bring to life Frontier Canada after its conception so long ago. It's created a sense of renewed pride in what we do to infuse a bit of our Canadian identity and history into our amusement park. So lots of information that has been kind of withheld maybe isn't the right word, but it hasn't been fully announced, which is interesting and it brings me back to the whole theory. So this is actually a very brilliant business model that they could be experimenting with and I see it being a huge success. Whenever they feel like they are having a slow down in past sales through the off season, they can announce the further details and pair it with a nice sale incentive to boost those season past sales. With that being said, I definitely find it interesting that Cedar Fair is playing around with this, holding off all the details for further announcements on a later date. I look forward to whatever these two amazing parks have to announce in the coming months and I'll definitely be picking up my Platinum Pass for Canada's Wonderland 2019 season and I'm sure you guys are definitely gonna pick up your Platinum Pass sales or season pass for the 2019 season at Carolins and definitely it's definitely an interesting theory. So I wanna know what you guys think about this whole Cedar Fair holding off on all the juicy details for further announcements to boost sales in the winter months. Anyone who understands business knows that any incentive paired with an announcement or a new product boost sales. So is Cedar Fair withholding on the Blue Ridge themed area and the Frontier Canada themed area to announce in the winter months to get people in that wall period to boost sales for that quarter that is really slow for Cedar Fair? I definitely think it's a possibility and I think it's actually really brilliant if that's the case. So we all have to remember, yes, they're a theme park first, but they are also a business that operates for their stockholders. They're a publicly traded company which means they're always looking for ways to boost their sales on their bottom line and this is a brilliant way of doing it.
