Six Flags Magic Mountain

There could be an apocalypse, with meteors dropping on the park, and they would announce another coaster.

I'm not sure why people still don't get that

Are people disputing this? If there's any discussion about this at all, it's that it's not in the park's best interest (or even its fans' best interest) to do so.

Because it's irrelevant, unless the park would somehow change a culture that started 2 decades ago. When they get scared, they go back to building coasters. I can't tell you the number of times on different forums, these concerns have been discussed, going all the way back to 2001. Our grandchildren will be having the same discussion lol

I think we can handle what is or isn't relevant discussion. Thanks!

Oh no doubt. *You* go right ahead lol

One thing I've learned, despite my opinion. The only thing more predictable than SFMM itself, is the discussion around it.

I'll be more direct this time: Knock it off. This isn't that serious.

A look at the new Quick Parking (where you assign your car plate number and can just drive into the parking lot)
Also the old dirt lot has now been paved

SFMM just posted on their IG that Crazanity is back up

 

[Southerncoasterer]

^ That’s great! So is Ninja the only ride down now?

Solar panels on flat parking lots is one of those things you think would be done everywhere by now. My elementary school did it almost ten years ago.

Seems this would be good news for SFMM given it would be one of their crown "jewels"

 

[chris.g]

Dude what.

 

[GAcoaster]

I think there are definite upsides to a CF/SF merger, but (like with their Ohio parks) it will probably mean every other year additions for same market parks like Knott's & MM.

 

[coaster31]

Dude what.

Of course even if they agree to merge we will need to see what conditions the FTC puts on this.. as there will not doubt be conditions attached

Potentially great for the more prominent Six Flags parks and not so great for the weak performers. Possibly not so great for Cedar Fair in the long run, IMO, but something had to give with Six Flags as a business.

Honestly there's not much the FTC will have to say about it. Theme parks aren't a necessity, and there are other players in the market.

 

[Southerncoasterer]

Well that came out of nowhere. As a Six Flags long time employee, I would lose my sh#t if it happens

How is this really any different then them trying to block microsoft/activision blizzard? Sure they lost that case, but six flags and cedar fair are the two biggest national theme park brands combining. I don't think necessity goods are really factored in at all.

Because they still would not be the only game in town in any market.
