It's like the rides at the zoo near my house. $10 for one ride around a dinky kids roller coaster. No surprise that we never see anyone on their rides. Cut that price in half and they'd probably increase their profits 500%+. 1

Doc Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 I would assume that, since they went to the chicken cooker method of heating fans, getting replacement parts for the heated seats wasn’t an option anymore. Hopefully they don’t make the same mistakes as before when the new stadium gets built, partially with taxpayer money and partially with the Pegula‘s own money.
