It was tough to call. The presence of Anthony Raffaelle was the wild card here. If he had been on the level with Thor, they could have had many seasons of operation out there.
But it was going to come to an end sooner or later. The numbers didn't add up. The rent for the season was $600,000. At that rate, it would take more than 58 years to recoup the $35 million that Thor paid for the lot. It is possible that this action by Thor was not motivated by the back rent owed. It might be that Thor is ready to sell to the city (or someone else) and they need to clear the lot. If Thor gets the $500 Gs owed to them and the park is reopened, then it was about the rent. And if they don't get the money and seize all the rides and other assets on the lot, then it is probably about the rent. If, however, they don't get the back rent but still open those gates and let everyone get out with all of their equipment intact, then it is probably about something much bigger than a rent dispute. Add in to the mix a number of people in this saga are some rather shady people (including an unpredictable showman that had been a suspect in a murder investigation) and you might see an explosive end to the season out in Coney Island. |

With about 2-weeks to Labor Day..Whats the Big Deal...If Thor is ready to sell?...On a 35 million or more Deal..2-weeks is not enough time to let the "ink" dry...
Seize the Rides?...I am sure "Butch" paid his rent to "Tony"...and "Butch" is not goin to leave his Rides there over a "Tony" short-change Deal...Something is goin on, For a Reason, I can't Beleive Thors actions are off the "Cuff"...But rather calculated... "The Savior of Coney" (Self-proclaimed) would be well advised to Hitch his mule to "Butch's" wagon, as "Butch" is (I presume)the Only Showman involved with the Funds, resources, and Political (CA) clout to ride out of "Dodge"..and His equipment (I presume) is the only equipment of "Real" value.... Whatever reason Thor "Locked up the Gates"...nothing has been lost yet...as the Alledged "Storm" took the edge off the weekend anyhow...The "Mark" has probaly battened down the Hatches...or packed his "Heap" in his Dumpster on wheels...in hopes of rollin out the gates on monday...provided he can Borrow a set of Jumper-cables... I have only been in a situation twice where the gates have been Locked and the Mgmt tried "extortion" tactics...However, in my case, it was a show of "Power" and when I didn't back-up, and since my "Rent" was paid...and their "Bluff" was called...they relented, unlocked the Gates..and as I drove off into the sunset, They told me I would go far in this Business...Well, I don't know how far I've gone, I seem sometimes to be spinnin my wheels, but then again, My situations happened in the Hinter-Lands...NOT in the world known as NYC,and No $35 mil land Deal/struggle was involved.... Too Bad the "Savior" can't walk on water...No matter, They could throw him out of a 45th floor window, and somehow, someway he always lands on his feet... "The Saga" continues...I'm just glad I don't have a Front row seat!...For once...bein in the Nose-Bleed section...seems like a Blessing.....
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.
