    • Since they made the conscious decision to go with the name Six Flags, even though Cedar Fair is the slight majority, I do not think we will see the Six Flags named dropped. They went with Six Flags for the branding and name recognition.  If they didn't want to take advantage of name recognition, they would have gone with the better reputation name of Cedar Fair. Over time, it may evolve to like Kings Island, a Six Flags park or something like that instead of Six Flags over Kings Island.  I would be shocked if Six Flags is removed from park names completely and not added in some fashion to the FUN parks.
    • Congratulations! I did a little snooping around on Kings Island's website and found the following in their Guest Accessibility Guide (pregnancy section is at the top of page 10). It wasn't terribly easy to find, but I hope it helps. I've included the second paragraph listing the rides as a quote below. Best of luck to you, your wife, and your new little one!!!

    • How about something conceived by their insider FUNsultant  The coaster in the picture is almost definitely a stock photo from one of the parks galleries. Putting together one ad campaign and changing the park name is certainly cheaper than spending money on 20+ campaigns. Hopefully we'll see better once the merger has calmed down and some parks have dropped the "Six Flags" from their name. Great Adventure, Great America, Fiesta Texas, Discovery Kingdom, and a few others would be good contenders for that. Bonus points if Fiesta Texas gets its fun logo back.  I think the Silver Pass is there so the parks can have a "budget option". That being said, it's still good to have it available! If someone just goes to the park occasionally or doesn't have the money for a Gold or Prestige Pass, they can get the Silver Pass now and go do all of the rides and shows from mid-April to Labor Day. Add in the Pass Perks program and that's enough for a family who only goes for a few days each year.    On a different note: did anyone get to see what kind of pavement will be used under the new festival structure? All of the pictures make it look like the edges have been prepped with asphalt. I haven't seen anything that would indicate concrete going down, so my guess would either be pavers or asphalt (the latter of which would be a big mistake for a park that normally prides itself for its beauty). There needs to at least be a little planter on the corner nearest the Eiffel Tower and maybe another one near the lamps by the carousel. Looking back at a recent image it looks like it'll be asphalt around the edges. There is space for at least another tree or two and some pretty flower beds! (Unless that's actually very dark mulch I see, but I doubt it.)
    • My wife and I just found out we are having a baby, (our first baby) I wanted to know what can she do if we decide to go. She doesn't ride any coasters or big rides, but she does the water rides and the small flat rides. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
