Wow if you read the end of the article is says that Snyder plans to fix SF's money woe's with increased sponsership: including deals with Pizza, Ice Cream, Cell Phones, and other brands.

And you thought Ice Mountain Splash was bad...

I doubt they'll change more ride name, But I always thought it would be a good Idea to get some more fast-foody places. Panda Express is a hit. So Why not add a taco bell into SWT, or a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts into Mardi Gras. Or a Pizza Hut into Yukon, or wherever. I think both SFI, and each restaurants parent company could benefit from that. I think there's a McDonalds in SFOG. So Why not?

That sort of stuff would be okay. But I just don't want all sorts of advertising everywhere.. so that everywhere you look there's an ad trying to sell you something. That would certainly take out the fun of everything.

Restaurants and food items or w/e would be perfectly fine as long as it doesn't interfere with the nonchalant atmosphere.

Ooo, You mean like the new SBC invasion.

"Hey have you heard about all the online security Features that come with SBC-Yahoo DSL?"
"NO Need to worry, my friend, my computer is safe. (Talks about Housing Security)"
"Yeah, but you still need anti-virus, Anti-spyware, pop-up blocker. You all that and more with SBC-Yahoo DSL."
"Cool, does it come with a Retinal Scan and DNA Matching?"
"You've been watching way too many spy Movies"
(Women speaks the fine Print)

Along with the "SBC Southwest Territory Amphitheate" :roll:

And Large SBC-Going beyond the Call Posters in every area of the park.

And Punkbunny- If SFGAm were to build a Dunkin Donuts, do you really think the coffee would still be cheap in the park? :wink: :lol:

Sure, it's cheaper, but I can't resist Starbucks Caramel Macchiato...that and I've been known to go to Speedway and pick up a couple cans of double shot on my 10:00 break at work.

SFI owns 3400 acres of land that is most likely never going to be used by their parks, and they would like to sell it. It's probably the right thing to do, even when the company is $2 billion in debt.

Also is Snyder does buyout, it will be for the better. He will make money of the company, but if he knew he couldn't, then he wouldn't be interested in SF. Rest assured, he will turn Six Flags into a money making machine without sacrificing quality. That's why Six Flag's stock shot up the other day, most likely for a management change.

Shot up a whole dollar.

It worries me, I feel that he will sell off the smaller parks, and possible lose the charm of the larger ones with so many sponserships.
