Hey there, and welcome to Coasterdom’s first weekly stock report! I have been updating you all via our Twitter account about the stock prices of amusement park companies every day, and now I summarize it all in this report. So let’s see how Disney, Blackstone and Cedar Fair did this week – shall we?
From 1/19/10 – 1/22/10…
Disney (DIS) went from $30.60 to $29.98. So that is a .62 (2%) cent drop for Disney. Not awful, to be sure. You can see the chart for that right here.
Cedar Fair (FUN) went …

If you follow @Coasterdom on twitter (and if you don’t, shame on you!) you know that I have started a brand new feature. Every day I will be posting the closing prices of the three biggest amusement park companies in the business: Disney, Cedar Fair and Blackstone. (It should be noted that if you feel that I have forgotten, or left out a company, please do tell me! I assure you it wasn’t intentional, merely a slip in my memory.) And at the end of every week (Saturday or Sunday) …

Disney has released what is one of, if not the most impressive website they have ever unveiled. Alright, so perhaps that isn’t saying a whole lot, given their previous track record of slow loading and cumbersome websites, something I have maligned rather consistently given my fairly frequent use of Disneyland’s website. However, I am quite happy to announce that they have created a website that is very interactive, quick and very theatrical. But don’t take my word for it, check out your favorite Haunted attractions spotlighted here: http://www.disney.com/HauntedHolidays

Kevin and I are back with another helping of the Kevin & Nate Show. This week we cover the all of the lastest happenings in the news, Kevin shares some fun stories of working at an amusement park, and the Road Trip returns! We are still in Indiana but we vist Holiday World and Indiana Beach. We told you we would be back soon, while this isn’t as soon as we would of liked, it is much better than what it has been. We are hoping to have another show …

Sorry we haven’t been on top of things lately, but summer has now started for me, so expect more reviews and on-time updates to come!

I know it is a little small, but you should be able to figure it out. Hint: Check out the coaster in the back ground!
Good luck!

bobaluch93 was the winner of last week’s mystery coaster with the Great Bear. This weeks task is a little tougher, lets see who can get it.

We didn’t put up a new Mystery Coaster last week becasue the previous week’s coaster was not answered correctly. The correct answer was the Great White at Morey’s Piers. This week’s should be much easier as things are immediatly clear, but we shall see. Good luck.

Last week we asked how many times you visit your home park during the summer. Over half of the votes went for 2-4 times a summer. I have to admit I voted for that as well. I think it has to do with the fact that people are used to thier home park so they don’t need to go a million times, but they also probably have a season pass, so they can go more than once or twice.
This week we are wondering if you vist a park during a …

Last week we asked you how long you would be willing to wait for a ride. Only a few votes were cast for the lower waiting times with an unlimited wait time receiving the highest number of votes.
This week we are wondering how often you visit your home park during the summer. Some people get tried of their home park and do not visit very often, while others are there constantly. One note for this poll, if you work at the park, that does not count as a visit.

Last week’s Myster Coaster was tough for some of you and easy for others, this one should be challenging to all, but not impossible.
