Would you consider moving to where it is in order to use it to treat tics?

Cedar Fair, the parent company of Cedar Point, bought out and shut down the property. This was a period of rapid advancement and expansion for them--from like 2004-2007--and they got rid of many of their properties in the 2007/2008/2009 years when they weren't making high profits. Unlike Six Flags, Busch, etc., instead of selling off the properties they tended to close them down. :(

And this does not change in college. Tenured professors at my school are being replaced by adjuncts and upper level undergrads in droves. Administrators think they can simplify the course to the point "anyone" can do it (and yes, they say as much).

Meanwhile, the more tenured and tenure track folks they get rid of, the more administrators they have to hire in order to make up for the service work we used to do. Those administrators? Make starting salaries of 2-3 times that of professors. Hrm......

This is why I'm scared of getting this surgery. I already have such bad dry eye problems that I can no longer wear contacts, and my eyes are a -7.5 and -8.5 and always getting worse. Clearly I'll need surgery at some point but....

Oh yes, I have many horrific things to say about Dick Kinzel. Fortunately he retired. He did see the company through some pretty awesome things--like building Millennium Force. However, he closed my two favorite properties (Geauga Lake and the Star Trek Experience) so quite honestly I'm not a fan.
