So you like that restroom because you can take a sneak peek?  

I been thinking: The people (we), we need our voice heard. I’m tired of these corporate guys coming in and being blah blah synergy this cost cutting that, more like how bout you shut your mouth and build us a T. rex?  (Eeeeessssh) Thats why I’m proposing, industry legend Don Helbig takes a hold of the ship as the CEO of Six Flags. See Don knows the parks, he would be approachable, his office is international street for crying out loud! Concerned about food quality? All corporate employees are given a dining plan and that’s the only thing they can use tk eat year round. Try cutting back hours and food quality now… Rides…I mean Don rode The Racer a couple hundred times back in the day, I don’t think anyone knows rides better than this guy.  Now for the COO, we’re going out of the industry, and we’re bringing in Ryan Suhr. This guy works in finance, he can crunch some numbers and use blender, unstoppable.    Anyways these guys would totally change the game kinda like that scene in step brothers when the two guys interview for jobs. thoughts?

I agree.  I wasn't a fan of this merger when it was first announced and I'm still not convinced it was a good idea.  Cedar Fair would've been just fine without Six Flags. And I think our own dear park would've been far better off without being sucked into the corporate conglomerate nightmare. It's basically catching strays from someone else's mistakes and choices... 

I always like the restroom by WindSeeker that has a giant mirror at the end of the dividerless urinals, I guess in case anyone wants to take a "sneak peek".

Mergers make me anxious. I can't think of very many examples of it working out for the better. The many Warner Bros. mergers can be cited, including the recent Discovery disaster. But even the Fox/Disney merger was only a good thing if you dreamed about Wolverine and Captain America starring in a movie together. For anyone else, it's largely been bad, particularly on Fox's end, as it's now a studio in name only. Avatar: Fire and Ash may have a Fox logo in front of it, but make no mistake, it's a Disney movie.  Meanwhile, I can't rent, watch, stream or purchase physically  a number of my favorite go-to movies (including Cocoon and Airheadz) unless I'm willing to drop some dough an old DVD from some eBay reseller who's seeing money signs because the title is out of print. The people responsible for corroding the value of these companies, like David Zaslav, never seem to walk away with shame. They only toot their own horn for "disrupting the industry"  and go on failing upwards. At this point, we're just watching major entities swallow each other up like it's a big game of corporate Pac-Man while the establishments, entertainment and brands we enjoy rot from the inside out.
