                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            March 31, 1995

1. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
   of Operations which follows these notes contains additional information
   on the results of operations and the financial position of the Company.
   Those comments should be read in conjunction with these notes.  The
   Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994
   includes additional information about the Company, its operations and its
   financial position, and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly
   report on Form 10-Q.

2. The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments which
   are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
   of the results for the periods presented.

3. Results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 are
   not indicative of the results expected for the full year.  In particular,
   the Company's theme park operations contribute most of their annual revenue
   during the period from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year.


  ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March  31, 1995 vs. three months ended March  31, 1994

    Loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1995
aggregated $2.2 million, as compared to loss before taxes of $3.0 million for
the comparable three-month period of 1994.  The decrease in the loss in the
1995 period was attributable to increased operating revenues in that period,
arising primarily from a new season pass program.  The increase in operating
revenue in the first quarter of 1995 was offset in part by increased
depreciation expense in that period arising out of the Company's capital
improvement program and additional interest expense due to higher levels of
outstanding debt.

    Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's theme park operations most
of the Company's revenues are generated from Memorial Day to Labor Day.


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND RESOURCES

    At March 31, 1995, the Company's indebtedness (including capitalized
leases) aggregated $27.6 million, of which approximately $1.9 million matures
prior to March 31, 1996, and $3.5 million represents borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit facility.  Amounts outstanding under this facility
must be repaid in full prior to November 1, with reborrowings thereunder
permitted commencing in December.  The Company anticipates repaying current
indebtedness from funds generated from operations.

    The Company continues to implement the capital improvement program for
its three parks developed prior to the 1993 season.  In connection with this
program, the Company estimates that it will expend approximately $5 million
prior to the 1995 season.  The Company expects to fund this amount from
existing cash, funds generated from operations and the proceeds of financings.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company consummated a private placement
of 3,584,510 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.35 per
share.  Of the shares issued, 485,437 were issued in satisfaction of $655,340
of indebtedness of the Company.  The cash proceeds of approximately $4.184
million have been used to fund improvements to the parks.

    The Company's liquidity could be adversely affected by any event or
condition, such as inclement weather that significantly reduces attendance at
any of its parks.
