Hildebrandt to speak!

Got a link in my daily news update this morning--

http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sandusky/2010/aug/11/cedar-points-top-dog-talks

With a headline like "Cedar Point's Top Dog Talks" I half expected that we were going to hear from Snoopy, but he doesn't talk. According to the article, though, "...Between the Lines Live will try to get Cedar Point general manager John Hildebrandt to spill the beans when he is the featured guest at 3 p.m. Friday at sanduskyregister.com."

Wow. Hildebrandt is going to speak to the Register. That certainly seems like a step in the right direction!

I wonder how he pulled that off; it seems that his boss has been doing most of the talking this season.

I wonder if we'll get an announcement date.

Can we ask the reporter to pat him down and check for an earpiece and wire before the interview begins?

Goodbye MrScott

I wouldn't expect an earpiece; Mr. Hildebrandt is quite capable of speaking for his park. I just wish he was given the opportunity to do so more frequently. But do watch out for the shock collar. :)

I like Hildebrandt... in the rare occasion that I got to talk to him he was very nice. Can't wait to her what he has to say to the register!

I hope it's an announcement! I'm too excited to find out what the new ride will be for 2011.

"You wanna, you gotta, you hafta hold on, Cedar Point...HOLD ON!"

Where can I listen to this at? Its on in 13 minutes.

I'm pretty sure this is what we're looking for. That's what SR's website linked me to, anyway.

EDIT: 5 minutes out, it is still offline

Yeah they have been talking about a plane crash, and now IDK what they talking about. It is really low quality.

Somebody in the chat should ask what happened to Jack Falfas.

Ugh, this interviewer is driving me crazy. He keeps cutting John off... Terrible.

This guy sucks at interviewing. He wouldnt answer my question about how much discount they got on Shoot The Rapids. :)

They asked your question somewhat, but you really think they would discuss that publicly at this point? Clearly, discussions are underway between the 2 parties as John said, but they aren't going to give details on that.

Plus, usually the boldest typeface on any legal settlement is the confidentiality agreement.

The path you tread is narrow, and the drop is sheer and very high.

50% off next ride purchased from Intamin, but must present coupon at time of purchase or the full price will be applied, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Hmmmm......that was a painful interview.....poor John. :)

It was also a pretty pointless interview as well.

Why people were asking questions about the new attraction is beyond me. You know he can't answer them kind of questions. It will be announced in a week or two, I could have thought of much better questions to ask.

I coulden't hear his response about ocean motion being up for sale.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

^He tried to avoid talking about it. He was like trying to talk about Millennium and the interviewer was like "so is Ocean Motion up for sale?" Hildebrandt really never said if it was or not. We all know the real answer though. :)

If I had been quicker witted, I would have asked if guests will have a 'fun time' on the new ride.

I knew he couldn't answer it fully. I just wanted to see what his response would be.
