Here is a breakdown of the owned and leased parks from the new annual report. Six Flags plans to purchase the remaining shares of the Georgia and Texas partnership parks in 2027 and 2028.

I doubt they would cover all 40 acres. Six Flags Great America is only covering 15 acres of parking lot with their 6.4 megawatt project.

Does the park own the Skycoaster or is it leased from Ride Entertainment?

This is the project Six Flags Mexico planned to build for 2025 before running into resistance from the local government. Cedar Point had a flat piece of land available and could use something to distract from the TT2 issues.

It's not, this is a clone of Snoopy's Racing Railway at Canada's Wonderland. https://rcdb.com/20343.htm

One of the concepts in the passholder survey was to use The Vortex land to extend The Beast and create The Beast 2.0. https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/1eiqazj/passholder_survey_at_kings_island_shows_a_concept/

Permits have been submitted, a Master Blaster water slide and Kiddie Pool upgrades are coming. https://www.whitewaterwest.com/en/products/water-slides/blasters/master-blaster/

With a new waterpark addition coming in 2025, it might be a good time to rebrand the waterpark to Hurricane Harbor.

Six Flags Great America will get solar power soon. Comments by Selim Bassoul on the Q1 2024 Earnings Call: "Before opening the call for your questions, I want to highlight an initiative that we are particularly proud of. This summer, we expect to complete our third major solar installation at Six Flags Magic Mountain which is expected to save over $100 million over the next 30 years and it will provide a convenient shaded parking option for our guests. That is another convenience for our guests. Combined with our solar installation at Six Flags Great Adventures and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, we will be the largest producer of car port solar power in North America. Also, we have finalized plans to launch our fourth solar installation project at Six Flags Great America. These initiatives are a win-win for everyone we serve. They serve our guests by improving our parking lots, they serve our communities by using renewable energy to power our parks and they serve our shareholders by reducing our operating costs." https://seekingalpha.com/article/4691402-six-flags-entertainment-corporation-six-q1-2024-earnings-call-transcript

4. The 2025 notes are secured notes (the parks are collateral for the loan). Cedar Fair might see an opportunity to replace these notes with new unsecured notes (the parks are not collateral for the loan). Cedar Fair's 2027, 2028, and 2029 notes are unsecured.

It will be interesting to see if they are involved in Project 305 at Kings Dominion.
