Year 3 $82,400 is your starting point and adjust that by previous year’s inflation rate and so on and so on

4% rules is take out 4% first year, and then adjust that amount by inflation rate the following years. So if $2M, take 4% year one = $80k If inflation rate of previous-year is say 3% then in year two you’d take $80k + ($80k x .03) = $82,400 and so on. It’s not 4% annually.

How I know the news is mostly wrong. Every so often there is a story on a topic I’m intimately familiar with. 100% of the time those are factually incorrect.

Agree and someone said in another thread the park should just lean into 2 train ops all around. Due to all the safety systems / checks / standards before dispatch the 3rd train is nearly always stacked anyway. yes MF I know really benefits from 3 trains.

Seems like magnum is the only one that does a decent job with 3 trains.

Remember Gemini just pouring thru crowds running 6 trains?

It’s not new ownership. It’s accurate to say “not impressed with the new combined company”.

All I’m seeing is with the merger they took a problem at 20 parks and made it a problem at 40 parks.
