Six Flags/Cedar Fair Merger

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

This guy was the park president of Sea World San Diego from 2010-2016 and BGW for two years prior. He had to navigate the Blackfish drama. I’d wager he knows all about replacing shows with thrills.

If you’re into thrilling attractions, this guy is your man.

More like, oh yeah 8) :lol:

Good, keep beautifying the parks and adding major thrill rides.

Build a giga in the front of the park. Tear down those flumes and build a tilt coaster. Build a raptor behind the game's gallery next to Goliath. Bulldoze Kidzoplois and build something like Alpen Fury right next to American Eagle. Build a floorless B&M mega looper in the bus parking lot and move that thing over by the entrance sign.

Give the customer base what they want, and they will give back. Very happy to see John Reilly as the new CEO

I don't know much about the new executive team, but I doubt it would be that drastic of a change. We know the Giga's coming, just a matter of when.

As for the future of aging rides like the Flumes, Ricochet, etc. It's all still speculation.

Also, Siren's Curse is awesome and you should give it a try.

@JackGlass
I'd actually rather they tear down Roaring Rapids if a water ride is on the chopping block! That ride is super annoying with them putting <= 9 people per raft and it takes like 7 minutes to exit. The flumes are still fun!

Also can you plot Skyscreamer in Hometown Junk Machine plot? They could call it "Hometown High Flyer"!

Yes. As far as I'm concerned, the whole games gallery should be bulldozed and replaced with a raptor, new food stands, and a few free-standing games.

While we're all making crazy wishes, I'll throw mine into the ring. When CGA Closes and relocations happen, Railblazer, although not a great fit for our park from a capacity perspective, would make a better Justice League Replacement than anything else. Make that area part of Southwest Territory again and you might even be able to re-use some of it's theming.

Let's all be honest, Justice League has aged terribly. Six Flags and Animatronics don't mix.

Although I'd hate for the park to lose an indoor attraction, they clearly can't maintain it, so I agree with this proposal. The sad thing is the Great America Justice League is apparently one of the better maintained versions.

Let’s get rid of the Columbia Carousel. It’s an eyesore, there is never a line so it must not be popular. Dumb ride ops start each cycle with half empty horses.

Let’s put the Sky Screamer in its spot so they can throw hand signals at everyone on Sky Trek Tower. Guaranteed to be more popular than the carousel.

Would not be surprised to see Justice League rethemed/overhauled.

Yeah, having a DC ride outside of DC Universe is probably confusing for the average guest. If they do end up retheming Justice League, I hope they do something about Dark Knight and Superman, too.

Goku, I like that idea.

Six Flags just isn't good at maintaining theming on their rides. Leave that to Disney and Universal.

Pure speculation, but I can see Six Flags reducing some DC Names to save some licensing fees. I can see maybe 3 rides keep their names (Batman, Superman, Dark Knight?) and changing the rest.
