So @Gavin kinda beat me to the punch in the Dominator thread, but I wonder what this means for the DC themes at SIX parks.

Personally I wouldn’t mind seeing this domino fall:
CF/SF dump the DC contract, Uni is able to pick it up while dropping Marvel, and Disney can do a legit Marvel themed area in DW.

Have to wonder how the manufacturers are taking this info. They could separate the brands and not rebrand the CF parks as “Six Flags” and just call them “a six flags property” and make them slightly more expensive.

I wonder who, if anyone, ends up challenging this. Some of my top contenders would be SEAS (having attempted with both iirc), Merlin (who’s been trying to expand us operations), and I would put Hershand last (they seem happy where they are).

But I wouldn’t rule out someone like Intamin (who’s at odds with CF) or some other OEM trying something to block it.

I wonder too if a challenge would result in something like when AB tried to buy Groupo Modelo, and they only have rights to outside the US and Constellation Brands owns the rights inside the US. Maybe do something like SF/CF can merge if they sell 30% of the combined portfolio pre-merger.
 
Six Flags just hit up Intamin for the first time in a while too. Maybe somebody at Six Flags convinces them RMC is “super kewl?” 😅

I think SEAS would probably be most upset that they it would mean they've missed the opportunity to gobble up one of their competitors (as they have tried to do before).

I’d love to be a fly on the wall today in Scott Ross’s office. They have to know that this was coming, they also have to know they have missed some opportunities.

No doubt they missed this opportunity and frankly their list of missed opportunities just keeps growing!
