I just realized something; PKI and Great Wolf were working together on the Great Wolf Lodge behind Top Gun slated to open next year. I wonder if CF will keep it a GWF, or if they will turn it into their own indoor waterpark. This could be a tricky situation. Jeff, Walt, any info on this scenario?

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
CBS is keeping GWL right now. It was not included in the deal. I can't find the article that says that right now.

Great Wolf Lodge is privately owned. I believe CBS has some sort of business interest in this property, I don't know if it is in stocks, some type of business partnership, or if CBS owns the land and GWL runs and operates the facility.
I am new to this site and I'm writing to you from Richmond, VA and my home park of Paramount's Kings Dominion.
If you have questions in general about Paramount Parks or specific questions relating to Kings Dominion. Just respond here or send an email.
My background relating to KD, I have attended this park every year since it opened in 1975. I worked there as a seasonal worker in the rides department (1979-1983 | Pre-Paramount). I worked my way up to ride foreman on the Rebel Yell twin wooden racing coaster.

P.S.
Here are some of the major Paramount Park fan web sites. These sites can give you some historical background as well as current issues effecting each park.
Kings Island:
Kings Dominion:
Carowinds:
Great America:

Canada's Wonderland:
I currently do not have a fan site for them. Maybe someone else could pass this information on.
All the sites links above are currently active and should be available for viewing.
There are a couple of general sites that keep up with Paramount Parks in general. They are as follows:
I did not include any of the coaster club sites as I figured you are familiar with them.

OK I'm not sure if you guys are editing this particular site or not but it should be '*************' where the '***********" are. :-)
Dude, take a hint. Welcome to the site and all... great to have someone that could have some nice insight into other parks.. But 3 times?
Coastern3rd,
Sorry, I'm really not into redundant posts. As I stated I am new to this site and I was confused as to why that one site was not coming through. I've never had part of my postings on any other web site blocked before. If there is a reason for blocking that site or any other for that matter, I now know that it will be asterisked out and will let it be! :-)
Is there any other active forum here that is for Pararmount parks info? I don't want to clog up this topic line with non related info.
The GWL sits on land leased from Kings Island. CBS has a business interest in it, but the company is privately run. It will remain Great Wolf Lodge, and is currently on track for a Fall, 2006 opening.
