I just noticed this on Facebook as well.

 

Big congrats to Mr. Siebert!

 

I  know he'll do a great job at Fiesta Texas. A wonderful park with a wonderful new park president.

Congratulations Mr. Slebert to being the new gm of Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Just today I was checking out a few videos of the park, I like their train ride, going under the tunnel is nice.

Sort of off topic, but what department do most GMs come from? I know of a couple park GMs that were directors of games and merchandise before they got bumped up to GM and I know of a couple from marketing and a couple from operations too. Is there a better off department?

It varies. Great talent starts in a variety of positions. Melinda Ashcraft, retired GM of SFFT, SFKK and SFOG started in rides in Georgia.

Her successor was a marketer who had been at four Paramount Parks and SFDK and had managed what is now DC's Verizon Center (arena). And now, another marketer--with Paramount Parks and Mighty Ducks experience steps up at SFFT.
