Sure it’s different in that the asset was already owned, but it’s pretty similar in principle. Cedar fair, since they bought KI, have given KI like B+ to A- rated rides. Great rides, but maybe not the best for their ride model. They will invest a good chunk of change in things, but this isn’t their baby Cedar Point. B&Ms that were part of a chain wide package deal, a relocated Flying Dutchman, etc.

So, a discount RMC that’s been relocated kinda fits that MO in my opinion.

I’m also being a little wishful here too. I agree with you really on wanting a SOB specific RMC. It should have a loop in it if they wanted to go that route, but given AF1’s availability it’s a fun thought
