I didn't like the merger when it happened, and I still don't like it today. I think it's possibly the worst thing to happen for our specific park.

Yes, exactly. Parks will get rides based on things like need/expected ROI and available cap ex budget, not because of where the HQ is located. Which is why it was, IMO, a terrible move to offer stupid-cheap season passes in the first place. Ouimet had spent years diligently building up the brand, and the morons who took over burned all that brand equity to the ground. Now they are stuck with trying to increase gate prices while, as you say, potentially struggling to afford the cap ex necessary to maintain their desirability.

Luckily, we have not seen to much of a change inside the park, but I still as not a big fan either.

Sounds like Magic Mountain is ready for a ground up, RMC Son of Beast.

Naming your park “Mid” is certainly a choice.

I personally think the new name is bland. Six Flags Mid America worked because Mid described the location in America. Now Mid comes first and makes it sound like the America Adventure is being described as mid. I think it would have been simpler to go with American Adventure or at the bottom of the sign they have the slogan "Gateway to Thrills" I actually really love that - so much that I'd make that the name of the park truth be told.
