It was beautiful tho, still like new even a decade after opening--ripping out that tile work should have been a crime.
Yeah, and all of that beautiful water.

People forget that Six Flags hasn't built a new park since 1971 - in St Louis. All other parks since then are previously owned parks they purchased. Plus its been indicated the owners of Six Flags Georgia have made it clear they do not want a park in Florida.
Here is a quote from a Theme Park Insider article about Artegon possibilities:When was the last new theme park even built? Cedar Fair and Six Flags aren't really in the park building business. Herschend built SDC but that was in like the 60's. Herschend seems the more likely of the three to me, but none are obvious choices.
Merlin's also the only operator outside of Disney and Universal to build a major successful park in the United States in the past 20 years.
While that's technically true Legoland was built almost 20 years ago. Also Legoland Florida was a rebranding of an existing park.I believe that would be Legoland. They have another one planned for New York. Hard to believe.

Nix the Six.
There is certainly wiggle room in that statement. But if they don't want to be included in the rumor I'm happy to take them off. I am curious about what your other reasons for Six Flags not being in Florida are. If Busch Gardens and Funspot can succeed in Central Florida I would think that Six Flags could.I wouldn't say that's reason enough to count them out, although there are other reasons.

It's not uncommon at all for a developer to deny rumors until deals are finalized though. Walt Disney himself specifically denied interest in FL for WDW.
Yeah, and not to mention it can mess with stock prices. Then of course if it falls through the same can happen again.The second somebody says they're interested and has grand plans, the price of the land goes up.
True, but there are so many rumors about other parks and attractions coming to the area until I see something substantial I'm just having fun with it.It's not uncommon at all for a developer to deny rumors until deals are finalized though.

Well the story was out there before all of this that the Artegon owners were looking to sell the land. I would imagine this is probably helping to drive the value of that land up....Could all this be a ploy to get C0mcast to buy the land? I mean if I wanted to sell some land next to a theme park that is known to be expanding rapidly and is somewhat landlocked, I'd certainly not be above saying that another theme park operator was interested. Kind of a larger version of the games realtors play.
