Not only are they not relevant anywhere else, they don't even exist anywhere else. They are a product of the envious minds of people who are upset that they didn't think of it themselves. In an ideal world what anyone does with their own life is of no concern to anyone else. Not the case here, however, anything even slightly different from their individual place in life or imagined place, has to be immediately labeled, belittled and ridiculed.
I doubt seriously she would sell. One of her primary reasons for buying was to take care of those in her community. They are growing and branching out into other areas as well.
Why is this always the cop out answer when someone disagrees?
That's a partnership and why not if the main guy that has lead it's rise is still the main guy. Why couldn't that partnership carry over to a new company? Dollywood was the second Silver Dollar City before the name change.
She would still be getting her cut to do that, how does it change if the agreement she has now carries over. SEAS would be effectively managing it just like Herschend has And receiving compensation based on that. Manby clearly wanted growth. We saw that with HFE taking on management of Darien Lake and Elitch Gardens. HFE wanted more investment from the principal owners, that didn't happen so those ended. Maybe the Heschend brothers didn't to buy those parks to do it on their on after just acquiring the Rudolph IP and the Globetrotters. Those two guys are well past 70 and we know what happens with companies under the 3rd generation of family leadership Is in charge, It's often very ugly, private or public. Remember the rumors of the SEAS being broke up and sold off with HFE being interested in the Busch Gardens and Wanda or UNI in the SeaWorlds at the end of the year.
She is just the face of the park? i think she is a bit more than that.
Agree, everyone has the right to make a fool of themselves in public.
Oh,I know that. She has an effective management team running the day to day and She shows up to put the face on the big events and announcements and ceremonies. I still don't see how a change in ownership of HFE would effect her missions. Clearly she and HFE are making money or they wouldn't still be in it together after she bought in years ago. How her mission for ownership would change if HFE was buyout is a bit mystifying in how you are portraying it. What is she going g to do, take on all of it hrrself or get other management And... name me one that has a better track record at this point. It's not like HFE is all Dollywood here.
