That’s a nice looking sign, love the use of the classic logo

Any update?

I’m pretty sure the manufacturer doesn’t suggest running the rides in such cold conditions, correct me if I’m wrong though.

Thankfully it said that Six Flags likely wasn’t going to return to the table with a new offer.

Can’t wait to read it, you certainly know your stuff.

Seems like several Cedar Fair board memebers would have been able to keep their jobs in the new theoretical company. (Which was expected) https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1WJ1Z3?__twitter_impression=true

Looks like we can rest easy for now https://seekingalpha.com/news/3504029-cedar-fair-turns-away-six-flags

Racer is the roughest ride in the park depending on where you sit imho, hurt my back quite a bit (I’m guessing I just sat in a bad seat). Some times I get good rides on it but other times it’s just painful.

I think it’d be sad if any former Paramount Park left the chain, the improvement these parks have seen is pretty major in some cases. It’d be sad to see a lot of the positive changes be reversed.

It’d be nice if they played Halloween themed music on the train for fall.

Wonder when we’re going to eventually see a statement from either party, hopefully it’s before they release their Q3 earnings report & conference call. I mean Busch Gardens Williamsburg is really the premium park for that market so I feel like a Six Flags model could potentially work out well for that park. If Cedar Fair were wanting to sell a few parks I wouldn’t be surprised if KD was one of the ones up for consideration.

They’re probably either still in the talks or they’ve been waiting to send out a response. Pretty obvious why they didn’t do that conference today, especially considering how volatile the stock has been.

Nope not at all, in fact even after the merger Disney would still have almost 3x as much attendees then a theoretical merged company. They definitely wouldn’t be preventing other companies from entering the market.

Guess that pretty much confirms the rumors at least have some truth to them when also taking into account they haven’t made a press release.

I would LOVE to see this happen, Hershey Park is my 2nd favorite park. They just did so many things well with that place. Great food, great looking park & great rides.

I’m on the same page as you, I wouldn’t be surprised if their hyper is in the same situation Yukon striker is and is already paid for and it’s just postponed. It would also explain the “missing” hyper coaster track letter.

Cough cough me.

Perhaps they’re looking to buy a few parks but not the entire chain? I personally would see this being all that likely considering Cedar Fair has been acquiring parks so selling a few wouldn’t really make sense. I know that I mentioned this earlier but considering Six Flags visited Kings a Island could they be an indication KI could be one of the parks sold? I don’t see Cedar Fair wanting to give up the 3rd most profitable park in the chain & risking Cedar Point to some serious competition.

Why would Cedar Fair care who takes them over? If they pay enough money that’s all the shareholders care about.

What was his reasoning?

Petitions do not work, the people in charge do not care if you don’t want Six Flags to buy the parks. They act for the shareholders, not the guest.

I don’t see it happening to be quite honest, but maybe that’s just me really really hoping they don’t buy Cedar Fair. These past few years have been great for Kings Island and unfortunately I don’t think Six Flags would do a good job running the park.

Saw this on twitter of course nothing is confirmed, maybe this has something to do with Six Flags being at Kings Island a few weeks ago, thoughts?

It’d be very cool to have a gaint pretzel loop that reaches the bottom of the valley, probably be very intense & fun.
