Interesting. Never the less I do want to go there someday. I can’t say the same for the average 6 flags.It is as of last year’s merger of Six Flags and Cedar Fair.

Disney's Hollywood Studios in the 2020s is the modern template for all Disney Parks going forward.
A collection of IP lands and rides with just enough capacity to draw interest, but not so much that you can't avoid paying for additional services like LL and feel obligated to book everything in advance.
They haven't really learned much from the failed launch of WDSP.
I just had to stop the silly six flags comparison.If all that matters is guest satisfaction and if they like the ride then Disney is a massive success. At the same time that argument works for just every park out there.
Or really I’d give the nod to IOA, which really kicked off the principle in earnest.
It’s really just mainline rides in IP wrappers. With exceedingly at risk secondary attractions, walk throughs and a sheer dearth of entertainment.
Though I’ll give one slight nod to Hollywood Studios recent entertainment refreshment. Which has been long overdue. But generally a good direction.
It's not a silly comparison as Knotts has some very Disney level themed rides.I just had to stop the silly six flags comparison.
I don’t agree with Splash being changed at all. I also think Splash was significantly better in every way for me. What I find equally silly is that Tiana’s is a disaster of a ride. It’s not. That’s my only point.
I do miss Splash though.
It is a little.It's not a silly comparison as Knotts has some very Disney level themed rides.
Popularity wise Tianas is good. As far as downtime it's a disaster
It's only Six Flags in name. Cedar Fair is the one in control. They just took the Six Flags name as it's one most people know.It is a little.
Knotts had 82 years of other ownership to become what it is. Six Flags hasn't had it a year yet.
If Knotts hasn't fallen apart in the next 4-5 years, I will be pleasantly surprised.
Not exactly, they merged management so you have a mix of each up and down the company. The CEO of Cedar did stay in that role post merger, which is a good sign, but the new head of the board is the old CEO of Six Flags.It's only Six Flags in name. Cedar Fair is the one in control.

They always were going to sell off some parks. California Great America is sold and likely Six Flags America. They also have done major investments into Cedar Point, Six Flags over Georgia, Six Flags over Texas and Magic Mountain. They have plans for Great Adventure in making it a destination park similar to Cedar Point. The goal is to get the former Six Flags parks up to Cedar Fair standardsNot exactly, they merged management so you have a mix of each up and down the company.

Maybe it all works out, but they already announced cost cutting goals and are talking about selling some of the parks.
Hopefully, but after reading through the last few earnings calls, I am not buying it. It least not yet.They always were going to sell off some parks.

They also added quite a bit of regional theming in Atlanta - so there are some good things happening too.Maybe it all works out, but they already announced cost cutting goals and are talking about selling some of the parks.
How so?Not entirely accurate.
You should it was fun. Timber Mountain and the mine ride were highlights.Interesting. Never the less I do want to go there someday. I can’t say the same for the average 6 flags.
Whenever I get out to California.You should it was fun. Timber Mountain and the mine ride were highlights.
While the train ride itself is quite boring - the equipment used is really a treasure. Walter Knott purchased narrow gauge equipment from the Denver & Rio Grande and the park maintains them in period paint and lettering - it’s the most historic theme park operation I know of.You should it was fun. Timber Mountain and the mine ride were highlights.
That is good to hear. Atlanta was one of the worst parks (I have been to) last time I was there. Granted that was a while ago at this point.They also added quite a bit of regional theming in Atlanta - so there are some good things happening too.
Ah. @Agent H said "a Six Flags park", and I don't think of Knotts' Berry Farm as a Six Flags park even with the merger.No it's timber mountain log ride at Knotts Berry farm
Well yeah.. they forced to. Disney has one of the most expansive libraries of beloved movies, franchises, and more under their belt while Six Flags has very few IPs they can use and have to answer to a higher-up for approval.Six Flags Over Texas revived a classic dark ride from their early years with Pirates of Speelunkers Cave, Georgia's given the Monster Mansion characters some love with walkaround characters, and America and Fiesta Texas have done new original Steampunk flavored attractions. Yeah they'll never have the resources to go as hard as the big leagues can and the DC characters will remain entirely squandered in their hands, but they're putting more into original theming then Disney is these days.
