American Adventures

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Considering that Six Flags is in a selling mood, why don't they sell American Adventures. I ask this because a lot of there rides are the same at Six Flags Over Georgia. Yes, I know the water park is next to it, but there is still no reason to keep this place. Maybe, they could even move a couple rides to Six Flags Over Georgia from this park.

I'm not saying to sell the waterpark, but American Adventures. Rides in both parks include kiddie swings, Convoys (trucks that go around in a circle), planes that go up and down, Scrambler, Balloons, a train even though it's bigger at SFOG, Bumper Cars, a steell roller coaster, and a Zamperla balloon wheel (which is a small Ferris Wheel).

The rides that both of them don't have are a Tilt-A-Whirl, Galleon (Pirate Ship), kiddie Tea Cups (smaller than ours), Foam Factory, and a Big Slide. To me, it just doesn't make sense, and is part of the reason why SFOG attendance isn't as high as it should be.

There are three parks in one area in the 30 minute range. One is the water park, one is this park, and one is SFOG. To me, it's kinda of stupid to have American Adventures.

What do you think?

Aren't those rides what most big parks already have?

I believe American Adventures is owned by group of investors. Six Flags owns a portion and also manages the park, so that’s why it still around.

Vu, when the hell are you going to wake up and realize that rides arent the reason Six Flags is in a financial pinch?


American Adventures seems to me to be a family style amusement park that fits perfectly into what Six Flags is trying to rebrand itself as, so why the hell sell that?....I know maybe because it doesn't have a Strata Coaster in it? because we'll we call know that Rollercoasters are what brings families to the parks. :roll:
