We sit at the sweet spot of broad trends driving the “experience” and “membership” economies, while being insulated from the online threats impacting so many companies. I am very proud of our outstanding team members who overcame unprecedented natural events to deliver our eighth consecutive year of record financial performance in 2017. I am even more excited about our future as we continue to build our lucrative, recurring revenue base. In 2017, Adjusted EBITDA (1) grew two percent, and our Modified EBITDA (1) margin remained the industry high. We returned $727 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases and dividends and delivered a 16 percent total return. In addition, we increased our dividend twice since the third quarter 2017 to an annual run-rate of $3.12 per share. This marks our ninth consecutive year of dividend increases and provides a yield more than double the S&P 500, making us the ultimate growth and yield stock. Over the course of 2017, we made notable progress to advance all our five major growth areas: 1) Took pricing up 3-5 percent on all our tickets, while reaching new highs in our value-for-the- money-ratings and achieving the most successful pre-sale

Rule 1-104. — Unreported Opinion — ______________________________________________________________________________ This is an appeal from a final judgment entered in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County in favor of appellees, Nicholaus Mims, et ux., against appellant, Six Flags America, L.P. A jury found Six Flags liable for injuries sustained by Mims during a security incident at the amusement park. Six Flags timely filed a motion for a new trial/remittitur, which was denied by the court. Six Flags noted this appeal and presents two questions, which we have slightly rephrased:1 1. Did the trial court err in admitting the response to a request for admission into evidence? 2. Did the trial court abuse its discretion in allowing appellees’ counsel to argue in rebuttal that Six Flags made surveillance footage disappear? For the following reasons, we hold the trial court’s admittance of the response to the request for admission was harmless error, but the trial court abused its discretion in allowing appellees’ rebuttal arguments regarding the disappearance of surveillance footage.

  • Design of Roller Coasters
    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

  • Skyscreamer Qualitative Questions
    Name: Partner: Teacher: SkyScreamer Sky Screamer is a very tall ride, and as it a result it is difficult to measure the angle of the swing if you are too close to it. When the ride is moving at maximum speed, measure the angle of the swing relative to the vertical. This can be a bit tricky – you need to measure the swing whose support arm is perpendicular to you at the moment of your measurement. This occurs on either the left or right side, and is shown by the horizontal line in the picture. You need to hold your angle meter to measure the angle that the riders on the arm make relative to the vertical (those riders are circled in the picture). Remember – you want to know the angle relative to the vertical! There are two vertical lines drawn in the picture for reference. You may try going taking a photograph of the ride from the Screamin’ Eagle or the Colossus – these vantage points would enable better measuring of the angle. Fill out the following table. Some items will be recorded while on the ride. All FF readings are on the head-to-toe axis Time to rise FF during rise Time for 3 Period at Angle of swing FF at full FF during revolutions at full speed relative to vertical speed descent full speed at full speed Qualitative Questions: 1. Put a check by each thing that happens to you during this ride: Move up _______ Move down ______ Move backward ______ Move forward ______ Move upside down ______ Move in a circle ______ Swing out ______ Swing in ______ 2.
