Which I get, but it just gets back the complexity of the legacy Six Flags pass offerings. That's why I stopped with them. Legacy CF was much simpler...but now with this idea, it makes it even more complex. The best thing I could see is raising the price of a silver pass and giving two tickets at a regional pass from may thru September. Same thing gold, except it's all north American parks. (Side note, is Mexico a separate fee like the new park at Quiddya?). You are giving an upsell opportunity to the next highest tier.
What's ultimately going to happen, in my conjecture, is one of two things:
1. Bankruptcy to shed debt before the next maturity date. 8 or 9 parks left after this
2. Drastic downsize of portfolio to raise money to retire debt before the next maturity date.
Bankruptcy seems to be the path of least resistance.
Branson observation- its like you put together the cheesiness of Pigeon Forge with the traffic in Gatlinburg. Blah.
At least the views are nice.
Heading for the landing this evening (boy do people take it slow on the main strip).
And- I have Trailblazer for tomorrow at SDC. Going to focus on Marvel Cave and non-rides on Friday (Friday may only be a partial day due to weather).
the whole reason for my "unlimited use at the park site you bought from and 20 visits to other parks" was simply because the sheer amount of people who live around KI. The more people the more you can drive up the price (we do still believe in capitalism, right?). However not only does Cedar Point have less people living around it (much less), the cost of living within a 30 mile radius of the park is lower than that around KI (or Canada). It's a way of trying to avoid "giving away the gate" without hurting pass sales at other SIX properties.
