We can't say will, since that would depend entirely on who the buyer is. A Six Flags acquired as an interact chain could end up being worse than legacy Six Flags ownership. If that does end up being the case you can know ahead of time that that ownership or the business itself will not last long at all if ran like that. It's barely lasting as it is.

I've been about the biggest critic of Fast Lane there is on these forums. I am curious though why people buy it. I understand the thought process for buying Fast Lane for a special, single trip if due to scheduling someone has to go to Kings Island on a very busy day and something else can't be arranged. I do wonder what the appeal of the season long Fast Lane is. Is it primarily...? 1) The freedom to go on very crowded days and still get to ride the rides you want to? 2) The ability to re-ride over and over on not busy days. 3) Some kind of flex/clout thing that makes someone feel special. Don't dismiss this; there are people like that. For me there is almost no appeal since I generally go to Kings Island as much as I want and ride as much as I want. I don't have much of a desire to ride anything more than once or twice. Afterall, it is Kings Island, and I've been there many, many times just as most passholders have. The pass is just access for something fun to do with friends. I can understand it from the standpoint of someone who is fairly rich and just wants to have the best experience whenever they can, but I don't believe that is the majority of season long Fast Lane. Fast Lane would just shorten my day, and I would "get through" all the rides more quickly. The waiting in line is just part of the time spent at KI with my friends and family. For those of you who have season long Fast Lane—what is the appeal?

This is why I continue to hold off and am still over 70% against getting a pass again, because ANY limits to the amount of times I can ride a ride with FL+ will kill any desire whatsoever for me to have one again.  I know, I know they arent doing anything to FL+ YET, but I think we also all remember 11 and midnight closes and didnt think those would ever go away.

33 animatronics is significantly more than I expected. Granted, they’ll surely be limited in their movements when compared to Universal/Disney, but 33. Wow. Unreal. Sounds like they’re really going for it.  Any bets on the static figure? Return of the centurion? 

Between the two, I wouldn't utilize the lower tier. When FL first came out, it was the only option for a little bit and then the + version came out, I never looked back.
