Six Flags investor Daniel Snyder, through his Red Zone company, said on Wednesday he was seeking the ousting of Chief Executive Kieran Burke and would make a tender offer for up to 34.9 percent of shares contingent on shareholders accepting a number of changes.

Wow if you read the end of the article is says that Snyder plans to fix SF's money woe's with increased sponsership: including deals with Pizza, Ice Cream, Cell Phones, and other brands.

That's not good.. seriously. I hope this Synder guy doesn't take over SFI.
Ben & Jerry's Giant Drop: Don't spew Chunky Monkey....
lol.. Baskin Robbins Carousal.
Bass Pro Shop's Iron Wolf.
Outback Steakhouse's Raging Bull.
I doubt they'll change more ride name, But I always thought it would be a good Idea to get some more fast-foody places. Panda Express is a hit. So Why not add a taco bell into SWT, or a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts into Mardi Gras. Or a Pizza Hut into Yukon, or wherever. I think both SFI, and each restaurants parent company could benefit from that. I think there's a McDonalds in SFOG. So Why not?
Dunkin Doughnuts in the park!! Then I can have my coffee all day in the park too!! That would be sweet!!
They already have Coffee in the park...
Or do you mean you like DD's Coffee.
Dunkin Doughnuts coffee!! To me that is the best tasting coffee... I like it better then Starbucks or Caribou and it's much cheaper
That sort of stuff would be okay. But I just don't want all sorts of advertising everywhere.. so that everywhere you look there's an ad trying to sell you something. That would certainly take out the fun of everything.
Restaurants and food items or w/e would be perfectly fine as long as it doesn't interfere with the nonchalant atmosphere.
Ooo, You mean like the new SBC invasion.
"Hey have you heard about all the online security Features that come with SBC-Yahoo DSL?" "NO Need to worry, my friend, my computer is safe. (Talks about Housing Security)" "Yeah, but you still need anti-virus, Anti-spyware, pop-up blocker. You all that and more with SBC-Yahoo DSL." "Cool, does it come with a Retinal Scan and DNA Matching?" "You've been watching way too many spy Movies" (Women speaks the fine Print) Along with the "SBC Southwest Territory Amphitheate" 
And Large SBC-Going beyond the Call Posters in every area of the park. And Punkbunny- If SFGAm were to build a Dunkin Donuts, do you really think the coffee would still be cheap in the park? 
Sure, it's cheaper, but I can't resist Starbucks Caramel Macchiato...that and I've been known to go to Speedway and pick up a couple cans of double shot on my 10:00 break at work.
Yes! That annoyed the heck out of me.. Imagine that with multiple sponsers. I would go nuts!
 
I work next to a speaker. GRRR. I hear that commercial like twice in an hour!
SFI owns 3400 acres of land that is most likely never going to be used by their parks, and they would like to sell it. It's probably the right thing to do, even when the company is $2 billion in debt.
Also is Snyder does buyout, it will be for the better. He will make money of the company, but if he knew he couldn't, then he wouldn't be interested in SF. Rest assured, he will turn Six Flags into a money making machine without sacrificing quality. That's why Six Flag's stock shot up the other day, most likely for a management change. More info, if you dare: Motley Fool I don't know ALL the Facts!!!!!!
Shot up a whole dollar.
It worries me, I feel that he will sell off the smaller parks, and possible lose the charm of the larger ones with so many sponserships. Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro

Hell Yeah!!!
Starbucks Grande Carmel Frappuccino w/ no whip and easy ice is what I order all of the time and it costs $4.05.
So.. that makes it at least $10 at Six Flags.
Cingular: Vertical Velocity!
Virgin Moble Splash! LOL From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
^ lol!!
"There should be a B.O. squad that patrols the city like a "Smell Gestapo". To sniff 'em out, strip 'em down, and wash them with a big, soapy brush..."
"Why is nice bad? What kind of a sick society are we living in when nice is bad?"
