October 24Oct 24 NBC News had a sad article about the closing of Six Flags America in Maryland...NBC NewsAn economic roller coaster sends Six Flags America off th...As the decades-old amusement park shutters in Maryland, fans near and far mourn the end of affordable fun.
Friday at 10:41 PM1 day I've heard Six Flags has not been doing well lately but have never been to one before... are most of the parks closing across the country? there's this illusion of the reality, but it's not really really real, like it's beside and inside and inside and beside, but never on top.. nevermind, just kidding but not really
Friday at 10:45 PM1 day I have honestly never been to Six Flags, but the current direction things are going makes me wonder about their future.
Yesterday at 11:09 AM1 day Author Travis Kelce recently made news that he was investing in Six Flags. They have around 40 parks but there was a big attendance drop - Six Flags has struggled this year, with a $320 million loss for the first half of the fiscal year with attendance dropping by 1.4 million. They are closing two parks - this one and Great America in California, and might close other under-performing ones.Kelce and his investment group hold about 9% of the stock. But he's a huge fan of amusement parks, especially Six Flags, which is good, people who care about the park and not just how much they can make off it can only be a good thing
Yesterday at 01:23 PM1 day saw this interesting graph yesterday, but not sure how accurate it is as so many of the Six Flags parks are not even on this graph.
Yesterday at 05:05 PM1 day Six Flags and Cedar Parks merged recently, and closing underperforming parks was all part of the long term plan. Both have been struggling, but this merger should help by combining both company's resources. I'm still finding it difficult to accept Six Flags Knott's Berry Farm. Seems so sacrilegious. (Okay, so they didn't actually change the name (not yet) but they have made their presence known in the park.)
