^ I think there are 6 regional park directors now. It sounds like Jeffrey Siebert and John Krajnak are moving into those roles. They were already running multiple parks.

No, she is the Regional Director of Public Relations for the Midwest Region. Tony Clark is on her team and covers Cedar Point, Michigan's Adventure, and Six Flags Great America as a Regional Manager of Public Relations.

Yes, they said the new app comes out in July. Also working on in park wifi for all parks so that it is easier to use the app.

A few things from the webcast: Kings Island has the highest market penetration in the entire chain. Fiesta Texas is already a high market penetration park. Need to increase market penetration at Magic Mountain, Over Texas, Over Georgia, Chicago, NJ. They want to boost attendance by at least 10 million at low market penetration parks and think they can get 7 million of that from Magic Mountain, Over Georgia, and Over Texas. Lots of money going to the big five legacy Six Flags parks because they are all underperforming their markets. Thrill and family attactions are planned out for future years at Magic Mountain.

Two new trademarks were filed by Six Flags subsidiary Millennium Operations LLC. I am pretty sure Rip Roarin' Falls is for the new ride at Carowinds that is replacing Rip Roarin' Rapids. The other trademark is Timber Hallow.

Six Flags is required to remove everything from the land as part of their deal with Prologis. Santa Clara rezoned the land in the fall last year and will most likely rezone it again when Prologis presents a development plan.

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.

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.
