a possible new owner and that new owner to some loyal pete's customers it couldn't be worse than to hear starbucks is interested in buying petes that is the hot rumor. i'll tell you how the rumor got started. the stock was up 3% last week that was after a company offered to buy the company. that has analysts speculating, goes up 3% why? starbucks may be prepared to offer $80 a share for piece. that would be $7 per share higher than what is now on the take. analysts say buying petes would make sense it would give starbucks entry into the gourmet coffee market pete's sells for a dollar more per 12 ounce bag than does staubach, petes has 190 cafes in the u.s. selling in whole foods and wal-mart. there are many at petes who don't like it.

who could be jacking up the stock other than an attractive buyer and starbucks has the cash on the motivation to do it. just speculation right now coming from analysts on wall street. terry mcsweeney, abc7 news. interesting, thank you terry. six flags discovery kingdom in vallejo has ruled out mechanical problems with its new superman ultimate mit flight rollercoasterer that broke down leaving a dozen stranded. state investigators are re and the park is conducting tests on the computer program. passengers got stuck 15 stories above ground sunday the operator restarted the ride nearly 90 minutes later to bring the passengers back to safety. >> i've been wanting to ride it not after what happened yesterday. i think i will wait a little longer. >> that sucks, i was stoked, everybody was no, no i'm like yeah come on. >> rollercoaster opened one
