I didn't say that HFE would invest in major thrill ride(s) if they acquired KI.
Everything in this industry is cyclical. Outside of of Universal, to specifically include regional parks, the business model is family. Look at the mainstream capital spending. Outliers like Tormenta and that Canada coaster I can't recall the name of, has been family-centered. That's what brings in the dollars.
At some point in time, major thrill coasters will be en vouge. Unfortunately for Kings Island, I think most of the thrill rides will go to select LSF parks because of the lack of investment there, on a very targeted basis.
If there is another sell off of parks from Six Flags, I would venture a guess that a flagship ready park would have to be included, similar to how enchanted/EPR wanted St Louis. That park would most likely be Dominion but you never know.
I think HFE is maxed out, myself. But I have no idea of their financials and their ability to take on more assets and debt.
Stranger things have happened, but I never thought I would see people on kic choose Six Flags to run the park than HFE
Maybe they swap KI for KK lol
