Cedar Fair, the parent company of Cedar Point, bought out and shut down the property. This was a period of rapid advancement and expansion for them--from like 2004-2007--and they got rid of many of their properties in the 2007/2008/2009 years when they weren't making high profits. Unlike Six Flags, Busch, etc., instead of selling off the properties they tended to close them down. :(

And this does not change in college. Tenured professors at my school are being replaced by adjuncts and upper level undergrads in droves. Administrators think they can simplify the course to the point "anyone" can do it (and yes, they say as much).

Oh yes, I have many horrific things to say about Dick Kinzel. Fortunately he retired. He did see the company through some pretty awesome things--like building Millennium Force. However, he closed my two favorite properties (Geauga Lake and the Star Trek Experience) so quite honestly I'm not a fan.
