There is only an 8-10 week tourism season in Cavendish. If an appropriate facility were built at Magnetic Hill to house the rides, they could be guaranteed a much longer season. The synergies between an amusement park, a water park and a zoo cannot be ignored. There are as many people living in greater Moncton as in all of PEI, and we have far more year round visitors than they get on PEI. Cavendish is great in the summer, but is a backwater for 42 weeks of the year. There is much more economic opportunity for a permanent amusement facility in Moncton. The Jelley's must be aware of this…...

^^^^^ What He said!
I Grew up with those rides...they belong in Moncton. Plus Shining Waters is super lame...those rides deserve to be part of something that already has
prestige like the Magnetic Hill area.
