Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom

They probably couldn't find a buyer for these parks that wanted to operate them and will sell them for the land value. Herschend had to buy all of the Palace parks as a package, now they are unloading the parks they don't want. The Boomers parks in California, Castle Park, Raging Waters Los Angeles, and Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe were sold to Lucky Strike Entertainment. The Cartoon Network Hotel is dropping the license and being remodeled and rebranded to Dutch Wonderland Inn.

Activist investor, Land & Buildings, is pushing the company to sell off the land under the parks again. They sent out a letter to shareholders today. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250925248557/en/Land-Buildings-Issues-Letter-Detailing-Why-Now-Is-the-Time-to-Finally-Unlock-Six-Flags-Substantial-Trapped-Real-Estate-Value -
Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge

It sounds like that is part of the plan. Non core parks they own: Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Six Flags Great Escape, Valleyfair, Worlds of Fun, Michigan's Adventure, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels. La Ronde is a ground lease and Six Flags could sell all of the rides and operating rights there. -
Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
DiamondbackFan replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Ride Entertainment Systems Inc was on the last notice of commencement and they work with Lagotronics Projects. https://ohwarren.fidlar.com/OHWarren/AvaWeb/#/image https://www.lagotronicsprojects.com/en https://rideentertainment.com/lagotronics/ -
You can take the Canada's Wonderland 2026 project off the board. Six Flags 2026 capex is being reduced to $400 million. On the earning call, Zimmerman hinted at this project being delayed or cancelled because they don't think they have gotten the full benefit from the 2025 capex yet. Canada's Wonderland attendance is way up since AlpenFury opened and the coaster is a massive success.

The press release for all of the new additions was Thursday August 15th last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they put out the press release on Thursday August 14th this year. -

The Conjuring House Coming to Kings Island - RUMOR
DiamondbackFan replied to SPONGEBOB_FAN_97's topic in Rumors
From the ParkFans.net bluesky account: https://bsky.app/profile/parkfans.net/post/3ltzgtpopsc2r -
You can search by owner on this site: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-information If I post a direct link to the trademark, it will expire after awhile. I think it will just be a new area of the park. There is a new path going from the former Scrambler location to Fury 325 and a new restaurant in the plans.

Screamscape is wrong. Dollywood is working with Mack Rides. https://parkfans.net/threads/dollywood-project-2026-40th-anniversary-addition.7729/page-5#post-329306 -

^ Carowinds, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Over Texas, and Six Flags Mexico are all under construction and have permits. It looks like Six Flags New England's new for 2025 coaster will be pushed to 2026 due to Intamin issues. Six Flags Great America is unlikely to leak before the announcement and they don't start construction this early. Six Flags Great Adventure is rumored to be delayed a year or changed due to tarriff costs. I am having trouble looking up Kings Island permits because the City of Mason changed their permitting website to a different vendor that isn't as transparent. A handful of odd shipments have appeared. 3 possible B&M shipments for Six Flags Great Escape that docked in Houston and a mystery Six Flags shipment from Vekoma that came off a ship in New York. -

We have. The cages that hold the footer bolts are on site and from Mack Rides.
