This thread spins off from my thoughts while reading the Starbucks thread. Lots of people are defending the inclusion of Starbucks using a variation on "it could be worse."
At least it'll be better than the coffee they have now.
At least it won't be a full-on Starbucks.
At least there's not an Abercrombie and Fitch on Main Street.
Come on, folks. Has DL fallen so far that "at least it's not this bad" is now a valid argument? What used to be the industry leader is now getting a pass as long as it's still not at the level of Six Flags or Knott's?
Here's a challenge for everybody. What would it take? How many declines by degrees is too many? At what point would you be forced to say, as Ex Candy Maker did in another post, that it's just not what it was? I don't mean what will cause you to stop going entirely or sell your stock, but just to say, "DL? Meh. There are better things to do w/ my time."
Would it be an A&F on MS?
Would it be a rollercoaster going through the Castle?
Would it be the sale of the Park to Cedar Fair?
What would it take for you?
