Except for maybe United Airlines and K-mart :)

Great news for Six Flags, its good too see them getting some positive stock forcasts for once and not the usual gloom and doom we always hear.

HEre are things I WOULD change:
1. Advertise in Indias, Mexicans, Polish, Russian and more more TV's station. When I asked my polish friend in US. Hej John do you knwo what is Six Flags? HE SAID NO!

2. Employees more goofy. At the station when I looked at their faces, they looked almost dead- Hej It's six flags, it's playtime- how are the employees showing that up? In NOW WAY!

3. I think that SF shouldn't invest only in their mayor parks: SFMM, SFAdv. SFGAm etc. They have to think about their small park that have 2 or 3 coasters!

THAT IS ALL! What WOULD you add? or chane??

And none of their parks have only 2-3 roller coasters, a few have 6 or 7 but many have more.

I still think they should either chage the names on their smaller parks or they need to sell more off, they aren't creating much revenue (if any) and Six Flags can't give every park a coaster every year.

I saw Mr. Six on Telemudo during Spanish class last year, so i think their advertising is just fine.

Since this is about Six Flags situation, yesterday, Six Flag's stock rose 9%, while the 3rd quarter reports were terrible. They reported a 60% drop in profits from last year, reason of cold weather and hurricanes. So I think things look pretty good for Six Flags Coporation.
