Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

[CaliAngel]

I hope they don't go anywhere. I got the upgrade to Diamond Elite VIP after the 2020 season and I do not want to give up those benefits. Personally, I see them phasing them out eventually.

I'm quite interested in the difference between the two. I think you get premium parking instead of standard. Maybe some flashpass discounts too?

I was blown away with what we got with my pass. The unlimited drink thing was a surprise to me. Besides the obvious intentional lack of consideration for visitors and their time from ride ops, my visits were quite pleasant. But man, some of those ops just seem to enjoy making 36 people wait on them.

The food service was abysmal and archaic. 30 mins for chicken strips with 4 peope in front of you? Unacceptable.

Don't know if this deserves its own thread but Six Flags President and CEO Richard Zimmerman to step down at the end of the year.

Plenty of talk about “growth… creating value… cost synergies “ but not a single mention of guest experience. Just corporate speak, or an admission about Zimmerman’s priorities?

^ Well, I've bought £100 worth of Six Flags shares

...as for the annual pass, it's ludicrous that that is going to give me better value for money than my recently cancelled Merlin pass

That drop was brought about due to Six Flags Entertainment reporting a net loss of nearly $100 million for the second quarter, a sharp contrast to a profit of $55 million a year earlier. The company attributes the drop to a 9% decrease in attendance, with 1.4 million fewer visitors, as well as adverse weather conditions. Six Flags is considering selling nonessential assets to mitigate the impact.
