To add to my last post, and it's one thing I don't understand. I see complaints that these parks don't have enough for families of all ages to do. It's not just Six Flags parks but most regional parks including Dollywood. The parks start adding things for families, like Dollywood did with their...

He's not. A lot of that is due to them now changing for the Haunted houses at the Cedar Fair parks. Your pass gets you into the park but if you want to do the houses it will cost you $10-$30 depending on the day. I will defend Six Flags a bit. The problem they weren't expecting is the amount...

Better yet they should follow the Dubai parks model and build all parks indoors. The only downside is coasters like Velocicoaster and Stardust Racers wouldn't be built

Agreed. As a family with a 5 year old now, it sucks to see them having to get rid of a lot of family events and festivals the last few years. I do understand why. They have tried with adding food festivals, more shows and parades, a major dark ride at every park with the Justice league ride...

A lot of that is they see bigger boosts in attendance when they add big coasters over adding family rides. Every time they do add family rides it does little for attendance or revenue.

I know they are different. All I'm saying is they are looking to be more family oriented along with their extreme coasters. Similar to Dollywood.

I'm saying Six Flags parks in general. They added a few big coasters this past season but also more family coasters as well. I'm not saying for Disney to add those extreme coasters but that the Six Flags parks are looking to be more family focused. Adding more entertainment and family...

I don't think it has ended at all. Cedar Point is on pace of another 4 million guests. Add in the money they make from the 4 hotels they own and they are doing very well. They will never be Disney lite with more entertainment and dark rides but they will always have their spot. IMO people here...

Agreed. I see when basically keeping the Cedar Fair parks and the Six Flags parks in major cities

It's Six Flags parks and its mainly due to only 15 of the 40 making money. Due to losing money, they have made cut a lot of holiday events and staffing. They also made 2026 passes $100 and includes all parks

Weather has played a factor for sure. From what has been said during the call, the biggest reason is that only 15 of their parks have seen high attendance and profit. The other 25 parks are what's hurting them. The former Cedar Fair parks seem to be doing ok. Its the former Six Flags parks that...

That's what black out dates are for.

Why not make every day Good-toGo days and drop the reservations.

There is Winterfest at Carowinds every weekend starting end of November

My point was more that things like this have happened in the past, the news didn't make a story of it. Didn't really report on it happening much. These news sites worked with the park to promote and had more positive stories to draw people to the park.
