- 3:41is
- 3:41there's
- 3:42an
- 3:42uncertainty.

- 32:56There's
- 32:57a
- 32:57really
- 32:57good
- 32:57example
- 32:58is
- 32:58Marsia
- 32:59with
- 32:59her
- 32:59park
- 32:59there
- 33:00in
- 33:00North
- 33:00Carolina,
- 33:01she
- 33:01built
- 33:02that
- 33:02park
- 33:02three
- 33:02years
- 33:02ago.
- 33:03Let
- 33:04me
- 33:04know
- 33:04this
- 33:04last
- 33:04week
- 33:05that
- 33:05she
- 33:05is
- 33:05currently
- 33:06sold
- 33:06out
- 33:06every
- 33:06single
- 33:07weekend.
- 33:08Every
- 33:08single
- 33:08weekend,
- 33:09she's
- 33:09already
- 33:09sold
- 33:09out
- 33:10and
- 33:10that's
- 33:10because
- 33:10she's
- 33:11done
- 33:11just
- 33:11that
- 33:12she's
- 33:12made

- 33:14doesn't
- 33:14have
- 33:15a
- 33:15water
- 33:15park.
- 33:15So

- 33:16owners
- 33:16can
- 33:16do
- 33:16it.
- 33:16I
- 33:17think

- 33:18trend.
- 33:18This

- 33:19actually
- 33:19creating
- 33:20destinations.
- 33:21A

- 33:22destination
- 33:22is
- 33:22to
- 33:22Randy's
- 33:23point
- 33:23unique
- 33:23destiny,
- 33:23not
- 33:24just
- 33:24destination,
- 33:24but
- 33:24unique
- 33:25destinations
- 33:26around
- 33:26the
- 33:26parks.
- 33:27And
- 33:27that
- 33:27actually
- 33:28would
- 33:28go
- 33:28to
- 33:28what
- 33:28Toby
- 33:29O'Rourke
- 33:29mentioned
- 33:29a

- 37:58started
- 37:58buying
- 37:58parks.
- 37:59So
- 37:59one
- 37:59of
- 37:59them
- 37:59owns
- 37:59six,
- 38:00another
- 38:00one
- 38:00owns
- 38:0010,
- 38:01and
- 38:02it
- 38:02sounds,
- 38:02it's
- 38:02a
- 38:02lot,
- 38:03right?
- 38:03It's
- 38:03a
- 38:03lot
- 38:03of
- 38:03parks
- 38:04that
- 38:04they
- 38:04own.
- 38:04That's
- 38:05in
- 38:05the
- 38:05last
- 38:05year
- 38:05and
- 38:05a
- 38:05half,
- 38:06two
- 38:06years
- 38:06they've
- 38:06acquired
- 38:07those
- 38:07parks.
- 38:07But
- 38:07what's
- 38:07interesting
- 38:08about
- 38:08it
- 38:08is
- 38:08that
- 38:09the
- 38:09management
- 38:09site,
- 38:10the
- 38:11folks
- 38:11running
- 38:11those
- 38:12companies
- 38:12are
- 38:13actually
- 38:13wanting
- 38:13to
- 38:13do
- 38:13that
- 38:14too.
- 38:14They
- 38:14want
- 38:14to
- 38:14be
- 38:14innovative,
- 38:15unique
- 38:15with
- 38:16those
- 38:16destinations.
- 38:16So
- 38:17that's
- 38:17a
- 38:17good
- 38:17thing.
- 38:18Obviously,
- 38:18one
- 38:18of
- 38:19the
- 38:19fears,
- 38:19if
- 38:19you
- 38:19go
- 38:20back
- 38:20a
- 38:20few
- 38:20years,
- 38:20one
- 38:20of
- 38:20the
- 38:20fears
- 38:21about,
- 38:21corporations
- 38:22buying
- 38:22up
- 38:22properties
- 38:23is
- 38:23that
- 38:23they
- 38:23would
- 38:23become,
- 38:24hotels
- 38:24and
- 38:24they
- 38:24would
- 38:25all
- 38:25look
- 38:25the
- 38:25same
- 38:25and
- 38:26you're
- 38:26not
- 38:26seeing
- 38:26that.
- 38:27And
- 38:27I
- 38:27think
- 38:27that's
- 38:27because
- 38:28the
- 38:28smart
- 38:28operators,
- 38:29even
- 38:30on
- 38:30the
- 38:30investment
- 38:30side
- 38:31are
- 38:31seeing
- 38:31that
- 38:31they
- 38:31can't
- 38:32do
- 38:32that.
- 38:32They
- 38:32need
- 38:32to
- 38:32be
- 38:32unique
- 38:33with
- 38:33their
- 38:33locations.
- 38:34And
- 38:34that's
- 38:34a
- 38:34good
- 38:35thing
- 38:35that,
- 38:35that
- 38:35keeps
- 38:35the
- 38:35character
- 38:36of
- 38:36our.
- 38:37Absolutely.
- 38:39Absolutely.
- 38:41Sandy,
- 38:41where
- 38:41are
- 38:41you

- 38:42Is
- 38:42that
- 38:42really
- 38:42a
- 38:42good
- 38:43waterpark?
- 38:43I
- 38:43feel
- 38:43like
- 38:44the
- 38:44March
- 38:44said

- 38:45would
- 38:45always

- 38:48sketchy

- 38:52nice.
- 38:52That's
- 38:53just
