I too am unamused at Miller's comments, however much they are cleaned up nowadays. The facts of the matter are still that Bell's was the top dog of the fairgrounds, pulling in more money than everyone else combined even in down years. They weren't a shiny operation, and they had plenty of problems with the way they ran their business - but they were successful and they were growing and expanding. Hearing over and over again that their business plan was unacceptable just blows my mind. I love how she noted that Big Splash was encouraged to improve their business, but what have they done in the past 20 years? They painted their slides and upgraded a bit of equipment after someone almost died. What a plan. If Bell's owned Big Splash, they'd have slides hanging over the highway by now.

Anyone heard from the Bell's by any chance? It is odd that they haven't gotten the ball rolling on Bell's 2.0 yet when they've been given so many great offers. Nothing has been sold off yet, so I assume it's still in the works. I assume the family just isn't in the right place to move forward with it yet.
