I still blame Six Flags for the Down fall of GL. . (I am not relating this to GL at all): I wonder what it would be like if Six Flags aquired KI! Just imagine it: Six Flags Worlds of Adventure 2; or Six Flags Over Ohio! What a train wreck that would be!

i dought that just because of when it was sea world ohio or whatever it was it never made any money so they sold it to six flags and i'm guessing the same thing happend with six flags, then six flags sold it to Cedar Fair where they simi tride to revive it and then turned(really in the procces of turning) it into a water park

Charles J. Jacques, Jr., a noted theme park authority who has written numerous books, has a more detailed (and different) explanation, which has a link in this thread:

Six Flags spent 40 million dollars on 4 new coasters, a water park, and a childrens area, all in there second year of aquireing GL. They spent it all on rides, but didn't spend dick on any of the little things. Cedar Fair made the right decision, it is more lucrative to dismantel the park and sell the rides than to try to renew GL.
