Actually, that is NOT the case. The sold parks will honor the passes THEY sold, but your Six Flags pass will NOT get you into the parks that no longer belong to Six Flags, unless you pay to get in, of course.

And that's exactly what it said on card that came with my season pass this year.

Six Flags needs to be carefull on selling on of these parks. They are unloading all these parks to try and get the debt load under control but keeping the park and trying to slowly build there way out of debt with good money management.

When creditors lend you money in the corporate world, they normally put covenants in the deal that the borrower must meet. It is highly likely that keeping all these parks was not an option for current Six Flags management, which is trying to recover from the many decisions made in the past that adversely affect current operations.

If I bought a season pass from Six Flags Darien Lake over the internet for 07' I can't visit any other SF parks? Why is this? They are going to have to refund alot of money if they do this.

Six Flags website states that SF Darien Lake and SF Elitch Gardens will no longer carry the Six Flags name but any 2007 season passes will continue to be honored at all other Six Flags parks throughout 07'. So therefore in 08' you will have to pay to get into these parks because they will no longer be Six Flags properties.

Let's resurrect a 16 year old thread LOL.

Could we see similar practices when the merger is complete?

I feel the answer to that leans strongly towards "yes".  The question I have is, will any current standalone CF parks be on that sale list in the future?  If so, there are 4 that most certainly need to worry about being chucked and likely in this order.... Michigans Adventure, Valleyfair, WoF (the one that deserves to get tossed first in my opinion), and Dorney.

^ I could see Palace being interested in any of those especially Dorney with them already owning other parks in PA.

After looking at their asset list, I can certainly see the Dorney possibility, to pick up the market on that side of the state.  My first thought regarding Dorney and possibly MiA was actually Herschend simply because I forgot about Palace.

I think MIA is safe, due to the profitability of this park. As for SF parks, I don't know enough to make a judgement on what SF could be sold off.
