News: Paramount's King's Dominion expects business as usual

By Sir Willow

Feb. 9th, 2006 -- Although CBS has put the Paramount Parks division up for sale, King's Dominion officials are saying that it will be business as usual this year, and that there will not be many changes at the park. At least not this summer.

Spokesperson Susan Storey said that the focus right now is on the upcoming opening, with a new coaster, hiring summer employees, and preparing to have a great year. It is not the first time that the park has been sold, and in the past there were not many changes at the park operations level. None are anticipated at this time either.

According to a recent CBS statement, the division is a great asset to the company, but no longer fits within the vision that the company has for the future. CBS has said that numerous parties have shown interest in purchasing the parks, but no specific bidders or purchase amounts have been given.
