I think they would just replace Xcelerator with a higher capacity B&M. Maybe a wing coaster. I could see them having Zamperla work on Kingda Ka next, but I am curious if Intamin would stop supporting the Drop Tower that is attached to it.

That plan already failed and they reverted back to the old way earlier this year.

Shipping record.

Not many people do, anymore.

The park was rebranded as Six Flags Great Escape recently. Here is the new entrance sign.

No, it doesn't. "Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will operate under the name Six Flags and trade under the ticker symbol FUN on the NYSE and will be structured as a C Corporation. The combined company will be headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will maintain significant finance and administrative operations in Sandusky, Ohio." https://ir.cedarfair.com/news/news-details/2023/Cedar-Fair-and-Six-Flags-to-Combine-in-Merger-of-Equals-Creating-a-Leading-Amusement-Park-Operator/default.aspx

It is owned/developed by the Saudi Investment Fund (unlimited government money). Six Flags is licensing their brand to the park.

It looks like it would be pretty easy to unload the Peanuts IP. In 2017, the licensing agreement was extended to 2025. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cedar-fair-and-peanuts-worldwide-extend-peanuts-licensing-agreement-to-2025-300517419.html

That seems like an unnecessary expense. The current Six Flags logo is from 2019.

No impact to the Six Flags license deal. Also, insidethemagic.net is a clickbait site.

I don't see why the logo would change. The name of the company will be Six Flags, not Cedar Flags or Cedar Fair. The existing logo is fine.

From the Six Flags annual report: "Licenses We hold exclusive long-term licenses of the Warner Bros. and DC Comics animated characters at our theme parks throughout the U.S. (except for the Las Vegas metropolitan area), Canada, Mexico and certain other countries. In particular, our license agreements entitle us to use, subject to customary approval rights of Warner Bros. and, in limited circumstances, approval rights of certain third parties, all animated, cartoon and comic book characters that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have the right to license, including Batman, The Joker, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Aquaman, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird and Yosemite Sam. The licenses include the right to sell merchandise using the characters and to use the characters in our advertising, as walk-around characters and in theming for rides, attractions and retail outlets. In addition to annual license fees, we are required to pay a royalty fee on any merchandise manufactured by or for us and sold that use the licensed characters. Warner Bros. has the right to terminate the license agreements under certain circumstances, including if any persons involved in the movie or television industries obtain control of us or, in the case of Warner Bros., upon a default under the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement." "License Agreements We are party to a license agreement pursuant to which we have the exclusive right on a long-term basis to theme park use in the United States and Canada (excluding the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area) of all animated, cartoon and comic book characters that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have the right to license for such use. The term of the agreement expires in 2053. The license fee is payable on a per-theme park basis, and is subject to CPI increases and scheduled adjustments, including periodic market resets. In November 1999, we entered into license agreements pursuant to which we have the exclusive right on a longterm basis to parks use in Europe, Central and South America of all animated, cartoon and comic book characters that Warner Bros. and DC Comics have the right to license for such use. Under such agreements, the license fee is based on specified percentages of the gross revenues of the applicable parks." https://investors.sixflags.com/~/media/Files/S/Sixflags-IR-V2/documents/annual-reports/ny20007291x4-ars-six-flags-edgar-asfiled.pdf

I could see some of the less desirable parks and some of the debt being transferred to a new spinoff company that existing shareholders would own stock in.

Lol, imagine a future where Action Zone becomes DC Universe and Banshee is rethemed to Batman. Edit: Also, Cedar Fair's earnings call is tomorrow.

https://www.schlitterbahn.com/new-braunfels/new-in-2024 Schatze’s Storybrook Park Opening at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels in 2024 is Schatze’s Storybrook Park, an all-new area in the original section of the park. Come see how Texas’s favorite short-legged hound has reimagined everyone’s favorite fairy tales into puppy-themed fairy “tails” gushing with splish-splash fun. Schatze’s Storybrook Park will be home to the world’s first kids’ water coaster, a pint-size take on Schlitterbahn’s famous Master Blaster. Little squirts will have a blast on all-new water slides, 70+ interactive water features and spray toys, splash pads, and a ginormous, 1,200-gallon tipping water bucket. New shaded areas offer plenty of room to relax and rejuvenate. Schlitterbahn’s expanded kids’ area is a collection of three charming worlds: Fur-Bidden Forest, Schatze’s Paw’nd and Fairy Tail Trail. Sidewalks connect the three areas like a babbling brook—a “storybrook”—cascades through an enchanted land. Everyone will giggle at Schatze’s wacky, watery take on classic storybooks, including Little Red Riding Hound, Houndsel and Petzel, Rapawnzel and the Three Little Pugs. For the ulti-mutt in water park fun, high-tail it to Schatze’s Storybrook Park!

That is a grave at Knott's Berry Farm. Looks like we are getting a Ghost Town / Abandoned Steel Mill theme. "A steel baron’s legacy will test your nerves in 2024 at Dorney Park" Picture of the grave at Knott's:

No need, Larson already makes Giga Loops (SFGAm & SFOT). https://larsonintl.com/the-giga-loop-100-ft/

I think it's for the new launched raptor going to six flags Over geOrgia.

The Nashville Zoo is getting a Vekoma family boomerang racer. https://old.reddit.com/r/nashville/comments/zw2lxv/found_on_rrollercoasters_nashville_zoo_may_be/

It has been under construction for a year already. https://www.facebook.com/groups/125273777553703/permalink/5510032282411132/ https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/yean5m/silver_dollar_city_all_hole_no_fire/ https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/w09eiq/a_glimpse_from_the_outside_of_the_rumored_2023/ Track: https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/zrqsg8/fire_in_the_hole_20_sdc_track_has_arrived/

Correct, you can easily fit a coaster the size Copperhead Strike in that area without cutting down any more trees.

Yeah, probably Fire in the Hole 2.0 announcement. RMC track and powered trains. The existing Fire in the Hole will be demolished for a new train station.

If they go with Mack Rides, I wouldn't mind seeing a different experience in the back car. DC Rivals has backwards facings seats on the last car. Steel Taipan and ICON having spinning seats on the last car.
