With the closure of Astroworld, what other parks do you think will close/sell?
I think SFMW, SFEG, SFAm, SFKK and SFFT could possibly be the next parks to go.

I think that Kentucky will be the next to go. However, Elitch Gardens reminds me of Astroworld since it is in a small space in a downtown area so that might be the next. Hopefully, there won't be another murder of an innocent amusement park.

Six Flags America????? Thats snyder's stomping grounds, that park is staying. SFEG makes is a much more profitable park then SFAW, it should be here for awhile.
I dont really care what park goes next as long as its not ours.

Sfmw was a top performing park I DOUBT it will go.
I don't think that anything will close, but I think that a new owner might cut loose some of the smaller, less profitable properties and stick with a core of about 8 to 10 parks.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!
I don't think any will close, but sold off individually.

SFMM isn't going to close anytime soon. Especially since they are building a new coaster for 2006.
Its huge and gets a lot of attendance and has 17 coasters.
I highly doubt any parks will close. A few of the underperformers may be sold, and it will be up to the buyer on what to do with them, continue to operate it as a park or bulldoze it in favor of condos. But SF itself wont be closing any parks just for the hell of it like what was done at Astroworld.

SFGAm isn't going anywhere for a long time. If you really look into this, we have 13 coasters. Not many parks have 10 or more roller coasters in them. SFGAm is close to a record breaker for most coasters in a park (of course we wont beat Cedar Point or Magic Mountain because they are the 2 biggest competing parks). But SFGAm is defenitly up there in the "most roller coasters in a park" catigory in the record books.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu
SFNO. They're stupid to re-build it.

Six Flags might end up being contractually obligated to rebuild SFNO, weather they want to or not.

I can see this park leaving the SF chain. Snyder talked about possibly selling it to Amheiser Busch. The park is not yet purchased by Six Flags, just operated by them. Snyder is not interested into buying more parks at this time. I don't know ALL the Facts!!!!!!
^ Where us the proof in that?
Lets not start some rumors. I doubt Busch is in the market for parks at this time.. who knows.
^SF Critic does have a point. Marine World is not owned entirely by Six Flags and Snyder doesn't want to purchase any more parks.

They don't need to purchase it, they have like a 99 year contract to operate it. (Not being sarcastic)

They are required to rebuild it, but they had stated in the last conference call that the amount of insurance they carried will be enough to rebuild. I have heard that SFSTL may be on the block. There is a lot of development in the Eureka area, but most of it is due to the prescence of SFSTL and the extra tourism. I would think it would go to a new company and still remain a theme park, but who knows. It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
Well...I dont think Darien Lake will go because its the closest Six Flags park in the Buffalo\Niagra Falls area. Fiesta Texas won't go because that is one of Six Flags' most sceinic park. Six Flags Marine World won't go because: 1. Its the only SF park in that HEAVILY populated area. 2.Like said before, it is very sucessful. I think that if 1 HAD to go without choice... he would let go of Kentucky Kingdom. I dont like that park. From the PICTURES I've seen... it looks poorly put together and kept. Thats my opinion.
Frieght Fest!!!
OCTOBER 22ND!
