Thank you, Michael and good morning, everyone. Earlier this morning, we announced record results for the third quarter and for the first 10 months of 2022. As you all know, the third quarter of the year is our biggest and most important quarter. And I'm extremely proud of what our team accomplished over the last few months and since we reopened our parks. There's no better group of professionals in the business. Together, we have quickly and effectively addressed the effects of the pandemic on our business and put Cedar Fair back on course to drive significant growth.
