Title says all.

Would you rather have present day Six Flags Management or 2006 Paramount Management?

It’s always a rough ride after a merger. In 3-4 years, I believe things will be heading north for the company and we’ll be excited about the things they’re doing. 

I sure hope you're right about that! The sooner, the better. 

As for the topic, I think I'd rather have current Six Flags management based on where we sit now. I'd say it feels more like Kings Island is heading into a period of (still operating) hibernation, compared to the "we don't care" attitude I've heard the 2006 Paramount management had.

Agreed, once a few years have settled I think things will be better, I felt the same after the Cedar Fair took over from Paramount.

Well Paramount management absolutely desecrated all of the Taft parks. They left so much damage to  the park atmospheres,  the parks still have not recovered.   Some parks will never recover like Kings Dominion where they removed. The train, the cable, skyway, dark rides, theaters, etc..   however they did not lead the parks down the trail of bankruptcy that is currently happening.  
 

So for the atmosphere of the parks itself, Cedar Fair was much better.   But then they began all the cost-cutting that has led to the situation that the parks are in now, including the merger.
 

 

Paramount.

Pretty early to be asking this question in just the first year, if it was a Cedar Fair or Paramount question, I'd say Cedar Fair by a mile. 

I'll take the Paramount era for one simple reason: it was impossible for them to save money by "commissioning" AI-generated images. 

In my opinion, management under Cedar Fair was the golden era for modern KI. I'll take Six Flags though, since the park is still being managed fairly well and that the merger is still very recent. This could very likely change as we see how Six Flags manages their parks in the future.
