CNBC: The dancing geezer can’t help Six Flags shares

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

I found this on CNBC:

The dancing geezer can’t help Six Flags shares

It mentions this:
CNBC wrote:Advertising Age recently reported that fan sites and influencer message boards list complaints from park-goers that include broken rides, unkempt parks, lax security and additional charges for high-profile rides.


Do you think that they are looking at our site?

Maybe and probably other sites. I look at the article as a direction toward the company as a whole, and not just Six Flags Great America, so I don't really know.

I think they're reading Westcoaster and ACN that have a lot of discussions about Magic Mountain. SF can't really deny this, the parks get so many guest complaints about stuff like this...even though SFMM got all the coasters running now besides Flashback and i'm not sure if RRv is running 2 trains yet they really need some better line management or people will continue to complain.

The dancing geezer may not be able to help, but apparently Dan Snyder thinks he can. He is one of the owners of the Washington Redskins football franchise. He has also gobbled up 8.15 mil shares which is around 9% of Six Flags. He plans on trying to muscle some influence on the company and try to turn them around. Hopefully he is not planning on gutting the company and making a profit of of the increased stock price that would come from selling or merging most of Six Flags assets.

Read more here http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/040831/leisure_ ... der_2.html

Currently Six Flags stock is up +/- 20%. If you want to look it up the ticker symbol is PKS. Some notable numbers based on information in the article. Dan only paid around $4.23 a share which was slightly below market value and if todays rise stays till close he will have already made $1,056,000 on the deal. The company's previous worth in stock (92.6 mil shares) was $415 mil now they stand to be at $495 mil. Not bad for a days speculation.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
