I have no problem with the people who work to preserve the hitoric equiptment owned by Knotts. My criticism is aimed at the executives at Knotts who after promising that Goose 3 could be transported to Colorado, and participate in Goose Fest, changed thier mind at the last minute and pulled the plug. I don't think that goose fest would have ever been scheduled if there was not the expectation that goose 3 would be present. The CRRM and many people here have worked very hard to arrange for goose fest, only to have the dream shattered by some executive at Knotts. Knotts promised goose 3 for the event. The event was planned around goose 3 being there. Now Knotts pulls out at the last minute! Again they should have never promised goose 3 if they were not going to deliver.
The executives that made this decision are hurting the reputation of thier park and thier employees. Criticism of the correct people here is in order.
