A year ago, Cedar Fair, the owner of Cedar Point and Kings Island, and many other amusement parks across North America, was merged with Six Flags as the parent company.

In the heart of Sandusky, Ohio, something remarkable has been unfolding over the past decade. What was once a seasonal tourist town primarily known for Cedar Point has transformed into a vibrant year-round destination with a thriving downtown.Luke Henry sits down with Eric Wobser and McKenzie Spriggs of the Greater Sandusky Partnership to uncover the strategic vision, practical tools, and collaborative spirit that fueled this renaissance. Their conversation reveals how combining public investment with private initiative created a powerful engine for community revitalization."Communities often think their challenges are unique and their assets are common, when the reality is the opposite," Eric shares, highlighting how Sandusky learned to celebrate its stunning waterfront location and historic downtown while addressing familiar post-industrial challenges. Through strategic tax initiatives that dedicated funds specifically for economic development, housing, and infrastructure, city leaders created a financial framework that made renovation of historic buildings financially viable.McKenzie reveals the critical importance of strategic event programming to maximize business impact. "We chose Thursday night for Party at the Pier. Our businesses are already busy on Friday and Saturday. How do we start the weekend early?" This thoughtful approach to driving traffic when businesses need it most has helped extend Sandusky's season far beyond summer months.The conversation doesn't shy away from challenges. Navigating resistance to change, balancing downtown investments with neighborhood needs, and developing local talent rather than importing solutions have all been part of Sandusky's journey. Yet through persistent communication, relationship building, and celebrating small wins, the community has maintained impressive forward momentum.Whether you're a small business owner, local official, or community champion, this episode offers practical insights into how intentional collaboration can transform Main Streets anywhere. Listen now and discover how telling your community's story "from a place of strength" might just be the catalyst for your own local renaissance.Guest Links: https://www.facebook.com/GreaterSanduskyPartnershipMain Street Reimagined:Facebook: facebook.com/MainStreetReimaginedThe Main Street Reimagined Podcast, Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqfkmF5bRH0od1d3iiYKs3oEn_gvMYk7NHenry Development Group:Facebook: facebook.com/henrydevelopmentgroupWebsite: www.henrydevelopmentgroup.comDeveloping News Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/33110524eb5c/developing-newsLuke Henry:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/luhenryFacebook: facebook.com/luke.henry.148#CommunityRevitalization #PlaceBasedStrategy #SmallTownInnovation #EconomicDevelopment #SanduskyStrong #CreativePlacemaking #GrowthMindset #RebuildAndThrive #CommunityAssets #StrategicInsights #ChangeAgents #UniqueCommunities #DowntownDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth #ResilientCities

With a career that began in the attractions industry at Cedar Point, Tyler brings decades of experience in guest services, marketing, and operations. At Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, he now leads one of the most immersive brand-based visitor experiences in the spirits industry. Buffalo Trace is not only a functioning distillery but also a destination attracting over 700,000 visitors annually. In this interview, Tyler talks about bourbon as an attraction, creating connections with consumers, and recovering before the crisis starts. Bourbon as an Attraction “A lot of our visitors say this was like an adult Disneyland for them.” Tyler describes the Buffalo Trace Distillery as a pilgrimage destination for bourbon enthusiasts. While some visitors may arrive with no prior interest in spirits, many leave with a deep appreciation for the experience. The distillery is steeped in history, with active production taking place on a site that has been distilling for hundreds of years. Unlike fabricated environments, guests witness the genuine operations, including forklifts and barrel transport, as part of their tour. This authenticity, paired with complimentary tastings and educational touchpoints, creates a unique environment where bourbon is not just a beverage—it's the centerpiece of a full-fledged attraction experience. The sensory immersion of walking through historic warehouses and experiencing the sounds and aromas of production connects guests to the brand in a meaningful way. Tyler highlights how guests often leave with a deeper understanding, even if they never become bourbon drinkers. This inclusive approach—paired with tangible takeaways like handcrafted items made from retired barrels—turns Buffalo Trace into a destination that mirrors the magic of traditional theme parks, but with the cultural and historic significance of Kentucky bourbon. Creating Connections with Consumers “Our whole mission is to create connections with our consumers to bring a brand to life.” At Buffalo Trace, the visitor experience is part of the marketing department—deliberately designed to transform consumers into brand advocates. Tyler compares the distillery to other brand homes like World of Coke or the Guinness Storehouse, but emphasizes that Buffalo Trace offers something distinct: authenticity without theming. Rather than a stylized walkthrough, guests engage with the actual production process in real time. These interactions create deep brand loyalty and foster connections not only between the brand and consumers, but also among guests themselves. Tyler notes that many visitors bond with each other during their tours, united by a shared passion. The distillery encourages storytelling, with team members who listen and respond to guests' personal narratives. Through elements like bourbon tastings and handcrafted woodcrafts, visitors leave with more than just a souvenir—they leave with a story and a relationship to the brand. Recovering Before the Crisis Starts “We were preparing for it. And we got to the point where we did everything we could… and actually started planning for recovery.” In early 2024, Buffalo Trace experienced a major flood due to record water levels in the Kentucky River. Tyler shares how the team used forecasting models to anticipate the crisis before it fully struck, allowing them to shift into recovery mode even before the peak flooding occurred. This proactive approach enabled them to reopen in phases—first with pop-up tastings, followed by partial retail access, and eventually full tours. Tyler emphasizes that the key to their successful recovery was collaboration and communication. The leadership team divided responsibilities based on both timing and physical space. Some team members focused on immediate cleanup, while others strategized for future phases of reopening. Communication was also prioritized across all 200 team members, including live video broadcasts and daily updates to ensure transparency. Tyler believes this level of engagement—both internally and externally—was not only critical to recovery, but also a reflection of the brand's value of authenticity. The crisis became a real-time demonstration of Buffalo Trace's commitment to its people and guests.   Visitors interested in touring the distillery can learn more and book a free tour at buffalotracedistillery.com.

This week, we talk about the opening announcement of Sirens Curse at Cedar Point. Then, Carsten talks about Wrath of Rakshasa media day. Next we go over the CoasterMania! Itinerary, and finally, Evan and Carsten give a trip report from CoasterStock at Kings Island.  

There's a new pope—and he's an Augustinian!   In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob discuss the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first member of the Order of St. Augustine to lead the Catholic Church. They explore why St. Augustine's Confessions remains a spiritual masterpiece and how his vision of community, conversion, and interior prayer speaks to the Church's call for renewal today.  Naturally, they go off on many tangents, starting with a chilly trip to Cedar Point, detouring through spelling bee glory and NFL drama, and ending in Poland (via pilgrimage, not roller coaster). And yes, they say “Pope” a lot. Allegedly, it boosts downloads. (Spoiler: It works.)    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) T-Shirts, Field of Dreams, and the Pope Bump  The episode opens with an early Father's Day gift: a nostalgic T-shirt featuring Field of Dreams. This sparks a discussion about podcast stats and the surprisingly real “Pope bump,” where there seems to be an uptick in listeners anytime the pope is mentioned in the title. For science, they test it live.  (03:45) Teacups, Tournaments, and the Cold Ride of Aging  Deacon Bob recounts a brisk grandkid-filled day at Cedar Point, while Father Dave recaps the equally chilly Memorial Golf Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. Along the way, they correct a Jack Nicklaus/Jack Nicholson mix-up and debate whether roller coasters or golf better reveal our age.  (10:28) Spelling Bees, Stage Fright, and Childhood Wins  The Scripps National Spelling Bee champ nails “éclaircissement,” then collapses with joy. That memory sparks their own stories: Father Dave's catechism bee victory and Deacon Bob's state theater auditions. They reflect on the pressure of performing, the resilience it builds, and how these moments shape us.  (16:11) Pope Leo XIV, St. Augustine, and Why Confessions Still Matters  The first Augustinian pope opens the door to rich reflections on St. Augustine's enduring legacy.
