- Joe wrote this post about Schlitterbahn water park: An open letter to the CEO of Cedar Fair: Don’t ruin our favorite water park! and as timing would have it, we flew to Texas to visit the park this week. It was Schlitterbahn’s 40th birthday and they had a party there on one of the days we were there. As we’re watching the festivities, a woman comes up to up, cell phone in hand, Your Mileage May Vary on the screen, and asks, “Excuse me…Is this you?” Turns out she’s the COO of Schlitterbahn. HOLY CRAP! They love the letter and forwarded it to the office of Cedar Fair’s CEO. {{{THUD}}} So just remember…if you ever write an open letter to someone, they may actually see it!
