A New article from CNN talks about Shapiro, as he lays out his plans for reinventing the Six Flags Brand. Talking about turning the parks into "an entertainment supermarket"

Mostly this article just lays out things we already knew. But read between the lines...And you can see he's got more in store then he's let on.

There are 2 in Oklahoma, where they are also selling the headquarters. As well as I believe CNN is still including AstroWorld in that count, since the land itself is not sold yet.

What do you mean-read between the lines? Did Sharpio actually say that SF parks are tarnished? Talk about downing your company. Balance is good!! I agree with that.

He's saying Six Flags parks are tarnished because of the old management, but that he's out to fix that. It's pretty much understood already.

I agree with ALOT of Shapiro's ideas, except the thrill thing.


I think that if the little kids get all these cool things that us thrillseekers should get a new thrill ride/roller coaster every couple years.

Though i will agree alot of parks (including ours) have alot of RC/TR already.
