towelboy Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I heard a rumor through the Stock Market, that Six Flags and Cedar Fair were merging together.
TheCrypt Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Cedar Flags or Six Fair I highly doubt this is true. If it didn't come from the companies' mouths, I'd take it with a grain of salt. Plus, why would SIX and FUN want to merge? Ouimet isn't Kinzel, and he certainly isn't Apollo.
dudecoasterman Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 EDIT: Never mind Crypt said what I was thinking but couldn't word properly.
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Wow, I guess people here just never learn
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It was seriously talked about not all that long ago. Be careful what you are so dismissive about. Just recently, the second highest person at Six Flags, a former Paramount Parks Chairman and CEO and Cedar Fair executive "retired," on very short notice, and with very little notice or fanfare. I pay a lot more attention to rumblings than those who so derisively dismiss things. The conventional wisdom is often neither wise nor right. 1
Browntggrr Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I hope this stays a rumor. Healthy competition is good for the consumer. 1
The Interpreter Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 But the two companies have very little overlap, in Southern California mostly... A merger would have very little effect on the competition for customers, but may well adversely affect the companies' suppliers in the industry. 1
Browntggrr Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 ^ That is more of a regional competition. I am referring to the minority enthusiast side who travels nationwide to enjoy the constant 1-upping the parks partake in.

I am referring to the minority enthusiast side who travels nationwide to enjoy the constant 1-upping the parks partake in. Which has largely ended anywho. WindSeeker, Sky Screamer. Chicago coaster, Sandusky coaster. It's almost like a Magic Mountain/Cedar Point competition for most coasters. A costly distraction. What's the return? Once upon a time, the tallest, fastest and only wooden loopin...uh, never mind. 3
Browntggrr Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Which has largely ended anywho.Exactly.I can't see a merger helping in any way.
flightoffear1996 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 If I were Six Flags I would stay away from this deal. They are finally starting to turn things around. Dont want to go messing it up by merging with Cedar Fair 1
TheCrypt Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I think Ouimet's started turning around Cedar Fair. Already we have seen great Haunts, theming, and attention to detail. It will take time, as with most changes, but it will eventually turn out to be better than the Kinzel Era at least. 1
jdawg1998 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 http://ifunny.mobi/i4PLX9NHS#4PLX9NHS Why would you put that on iFunny...nobody understands it... -44 dislikes... 1
vortexfan Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 http://ifunny.mobi/i4PLX9NHS#4PLX9NHS Why would you put that on iFunny...nobody understands it... -44 dislikes... Even if the context is understood it is a truly dreadful misuse of the meme. 1
Maverick00 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Amusement parks better not turn into the airlines where every company must merge.
luff Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Amusement parks better not turn into the airlines where every company must merge. Yah, I wouldnt want to pay baggage fees for every bag I can't take with me... Or get really bad for for a high price ...
The Interpreter Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Would that be anything like Six Flags raises parking fees, Cedar Fair raises parking fees? Terp, just askin' 1

fanofFirehawk Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Giggle No but seriously I doubt this will ever happen dispit past unsuspected mergings. I also real hope not.
jcgoble3 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Giggle No but seriously I doubt this will ever happen dispit past unsuspected mergings. I also real hope not. 1. This thread had been dead for a month and a half. Threads that old generally shouldn't be bumped unless you are contributing something new, such as a recent development in the story. 2. Could you please at least TRY to make an effort at proofreading your posts? I really shouldn't have to point out to someone who's already made nearly 200 posts that not only do the Terms of Service require that you do so (indeed, it's the very first thing in the TOS), but it's a basic courtesy to your fellow posters to not force us to rack our brains in a futile attempt to decipher your posts. 5

LongliveKingsCobra Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 ...can't tell if sarcasm or being genuine.....
shark6495 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 usually if a person puts their name, I assume its genuine but I have been wrong before.
