This seems to only be in effect for Legacy Six Flags parks. I can't find a similar message on Kings Island's Pass Perks website, which leads me to believe that this is part of the Cedar Fair-ification of the new Six Flags.
Maybe we'll even be lucky enough to see the new app and websites come to life soon. As bad as the Cedar Fair apps might be, the Six Flags app is absolutely awful. I'll admit that some of the issues could be merger-related and others could be user error. Where it stands half of the park maps don't work properly, the attractions pages show out-of-date information, and there are some very noticeable bugs that make the experience very inconsistent.
To be fair, it was done before the merger and under all other operators—it was always just always a bit more tasteful, clever, or creative. The example here is just a pure, lazy cash grab.
So is it too soon to tell if the advertising opened food and drink stands (it hasn't) or investing in parks (where is our 2026 announcement) or is the extra money going to bonuses....
The sign and advertising does not really upset me. Would I prefer not to have it, sure. If this helps the company to staff the park, open food stands, and continue to invest in the park, that is fine with me.
My only ask is to not plaster trains, cars, and gondolas with advertising stickers. Please leave that to theming.
