The Interpreter Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Six Flags Over Texas, the Entertainment Capital of Texas, and the parent company's flagship park, announced today that Spring Break Out saw its largest one week attendance in the history of the event. The great value and close-to-home entertainment escape proved to be a hit with families and thrill seekers alike over the week of March 14-22. Six Flags Over Texas extended hours all week long for headline entertainment including live and local performances featuring more than 25 bands from around North Texas and a special concert from Sean Kingston. Attendance was driven by the popular online "Everyone Pays Kid's Price" offer and the sale of Season Passes.... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Record-Break...s-14726461.html An aside: So, now SFOT is the flagship park?

tigellinus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ^^For the Texas market during the Spring Break season...of course!! While the 09 park season still seems TBD...I really have a feeling it's going to be ridiculously successful! Hopefully boding well for future cap ex!

RailRider Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I agree about the upcoming seasson being successful. Folks are ready for a little joy and relaxation in their lives and the majority dont have the money to go too far away. Once again like last year amusement parks will be great quick trip vacations or staycations as it has been coined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ^^Yes, BUT if gas prices can be even remotely sane (like under $3), then that will help a lot as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Speaking of which, gasoline went up 16 cents a gallon in these precincts, just this morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Gas in FW was down to 1.89 abt two weeks ago. Went up to 1.99 last week and now is back to 1.89 I get to work at 7:45 so it may have gone up since. I am betting on strong attendance at the parks this year for all the reasons I have said plenty of times in other forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Speaking of which, gasoline went up 16 cents a gallon in these precincts, just this morning... Last night in Indy (already among the highest in the nation due to being one of the few states to include sales tax, which is 7%) it was $1.99....it's going up again eventually, but I'm just hoping to keep it under $4.
