In a press release from their headquarters in good ol' Sandtown, Mr. Kinzel announced that profits for the winter quarter were down slightly from last year due to Knott's lighter attendance. Attendace is now on target at the park, though, and Mr. Kinzel is expecting another record breaking year thanks to myriad capital improvements at all of parks.
Of additional note, there will be a live listening only webcast of a conference call between the board of drectors and the big man himself coming up later in May.
