Overall, I think they're both dumb.

Parks should have new slogans every year.

Ride On is no where near as stupid "Have a Six Flags Day. At least Ride on makes sense.

I find them both to be lame after the 4 millionth time...

"Ride On" is a higher intelligence alternative to "Have a Six Flags Day."

From having to say "Have a Magical Day" more than once in my life, I hate all theme park slogans. That said, "Have a Six Flags Day" might be the single worst slogan at any park. If I were to have a Six Flags day, all personal items coming into my home would require a locker, Ads would be all my walls and I would go bankrupt somewhere around 8 PM all while "I Like to Move It" plays on 24/7 loop.

^haha! An employee recently told me that they are contractually obligated to say "have a six flags day."

When talking to anyone at length that works at the park, I have started saying (very politely) "can I ask for a small favor?" .... "please don't say 'have a six flags day' when we are done." It's gone over surprisingly well and they always like it.

I'll give it credit that It's better than "You are Here"

I think Have a Six Flags day is a really dumb slogan. It doesn't make any sense what it even means. Have a magical day for Disney makes a whole lot more sense than Have a Six Flags Day. The Magical one isn't bad, but my favorite would be America's Roller Coast at Cedar Point. The coast reminds me of the lake it's by - a coast. It's probably meant to mean they have the most coasters, but for me, it just seems right to think of it by a lake. Oh well, I like that slogan.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

"Have a Six Flags day!" is stupid. I used to work at a movie theatre, and we'd always tell people "enjoy your show." Occasionally, you'd get the person that says "You too!" and then catches themselves in what they actually said. Always good for a laugh when they think it's so awkward. I try not to do stuff like that, but I can't help myself when a park employee tells me to have "a Six Flags day." I always try to be that guy and tell them, "You too!" I just personally hate it when companies stick their name in the middle of a slogan where it doesn't belong. Unrelated, but Kohl's has "The more you know, the more you Kohl's," which I find equally annoying. It should at least make sense outside of the context of the ad. Disney has something along the lines of "Have a magical day!" That's a sentence that makes sense on its own.

"Ride On" I actually kind of liked. Not really catchy, but not too annoying either. Slogans should change periodically, otherwise they just become stupid and annoying.

Neither are catchy. Both make me roll my eyes, but especially "Have a Six Flags Day". That is just ridiculous! Who is the one getting paid to come up with those?
