I was told earlier that the rumors regarding HFEC looking into Frontier City were overblown if not completely made up, but now Screamscape is reporting that HFEC is one of the parties involved in bidding for the management contracts. However, HFEC might be more interested in Darien Lake than FC.

I guess that makes some sense, as Darien Lake has a much larger reach and more potential, plus it's a new market area for HFEC.

Gary Story and Kieran Burke seem to be most interested in taking over FC... I'm not sure how I feel about that just yet. The only thing I know about those two is that they are former SF execs who were ousted when Snyder took over. They current run an investment group that runs a small waterpark in Nashville. Considering how horribly SF neglected FC when Burke was in control, I wonder why he's interested in the park now? Would Burke/Story actually invest in the park or just squeeze it for profit like SF did?

I'm starting to miss PARC... You've got to admit, they really did a lot of good for every single park they managed.

Don't know about any sale, but looks like they already have an agreement on who's gonna manage the park.

yep!  looks like that is the end of that rumor...

That article is wrong. AMP is only taking the contracts for the FEC's. The parks are still up for grabs.
