Which is ironic since most of the employees are not what one would consider "entry-level" LOL

The park simply (finally) found a legal way to keep it out of enthusiasts hands under the broad umbrella of trade secret.

It has had a lot of potential for many years. When/If the land around it ever develops, then it may finally follow in KI's footsteps. The issue now is the debt the company carries and eventually they will have to dangle a nice carrot to entice the purchase of the next wave of parks and sadly this would be the likely candidate from the portfolio.

Wonder which park(s) becomes an AI data center as the land is more valuable for that than an amusement park....

caveat emptor They are giving enough reasons to wait until the day you actually decide to go to a park to buy a pass. In the past it always cost more, now not so much. And they will wonder why come July/August the 2027 season pass sales are off to a slow start. Heck at this rate, they may start selling 2027 passes in May - "buy your 2027 pass and get in the rest of 2026 free"

And that is exactly why KI puts in and does what they do.... People are going to come regardless based on proximity and cost.

Can't wait to see how many have their phone out on the ride or the brake run scheduling their next ride....

Sadly, they have played this game before. Put in I-305 at KD and didn't get the return. Thought they could make Carowinds the CP of the south and Fury barely moved their needle and slowed down the spend. Maybe it will be different in Texas, but I think Spiegel pointed out once that parks started getting better handles on returns around the time Kingda Ka went in that it barely moved the needle. For most parks, the capital spends are to maintain the attendance and some nominal growth, but if they expect Texas to have a 20% increase in attendance this year or something more than say a percent or two, they will be disappointed.

I haven't experienced that system, but I would think it would cut down on all the sharing that they clearly say is not allowed of people posting pics on FB where they left their used wristband when they left for the day. I could see those that like to marathon rides not liking the new system. No phones on rides, yet they go to a system that encourages it. I also see lots of phones dying needing to access the phone so much, as well as people not being able to get the app running based on network congestion.

It has more to do with Six Flags has said Texas is an undersaturated market, so they are spending big there. Now what happens if/when that doesn't turn into the numbers they expect to see...

And no more soot in the face.

Actually their water comes from GCWW....which has been awarded the best tasting water in Ohio, if not the nation....
