Don't fret, young faniac. A smaller company will likely care more for the park and get to know it more closely. We have seen many times that big corporation bad. small corporate spin-off has the chance to be good
Parks are full of AI shit now. Great Escape would be just as plagued with it under Six Flags as they will be under Enchanted. The difference is that Enchanted is small enough that they may actually care if people send them angry letters about AI art whereas Six Flags couldn't care less what people have to say as, to them, you're just a tiny number on a very, very large spreadsheet.
The bigger a corporation is, the more disconnected its leadership often becomes from the end product. Enchanted has a super uncertain future in my opinion, but I'd probably take that uncertainty over being a bottom-tier Six Flags park any day.

Alright.. I just hope Great Escape keeps it's good ways and not ruin Charles Wood's legacy. Six Flags did, hell they even colored the Flashback back to blue
I'm not gonna pretend to know the history of this park well enough to understand this reference, but given that Enchanted doesn't really have a brand right now, it may be an opportunity for them to reach back into the history of each park and use their pre-Six Flags identities to shape their futures. Obviously I can't promise you that'll happen, but it's what I'd do with a collection of unrelated amusement parks. I just hope they add more Swan Boats. I waited 30 minutes on a weekday but it was fully worth it
Flashback was also built after Charles Wood sold the park, so I’m completely lost on what painting it blue has to do with anything.
So Great Escape will have a good future under the Enchanted Parks?
Will it be "good" in that the park will stay open at least for the foreseeable future? Yeah, almost certainly. Will the park flourish into something greater than what it is now? Unlikely, but I'm not a fortune teller, so I don't know. The real question of course is whether or not GE is better off now than under Six Flags and no one really knows; not even the current or past owners can be sure what effect the changes will have. Will it benefit more from having Enchanted Forest on the season pass than it did having Darien Lake, New England and other SF parks?
And I gave you a thumbs down on that post because it was kind of silly. I don't believe any of us know for sure what the future holds for Great Escape so you stating, with confidence, that the park was "doomed" seemed silly. If you have reservations about the park's future, considering the change in management and ownership, feel free to voice those concerns! I just think you'd get better reception by thinking out your posts a bit more, and adding more to these discussions.
if enchanted parks restored great escape back to its storytown/pre premier parks era then anyone would be happy
Dude. Take a deep breath and be rational. That’s why you’re getting negative reactions
Anyone else got this pop up on their Six Flags app about their home parks?All I’m guessing is that Enchanted Parks didn’t make an app yet. I know our passes will still work til next year
This is a screen capture of the ticket prices for Six Flags St. Louis under Enchanted Parks. A couple of very cool things to see:
- First, Hurricane Harbor is once again included in admission for day passes. This had been eliminated under Selim and had continued the past few years.
- Second, look at how low that processing fee is. I hate processing fees, but in this day and age, $0.99 is extremely low. The fee was way higher under Six Flags. Even Holiday World charges a $6.99 processing fee for tickets purchased on their website. Very glad to see such low fees. I'm curious if WhiteWater West's Vantage platform has low fees that Enchanted Parks is passing along or if it is something different?
The above is a screen capture of parking prices for Six Flags St. Louis. Enchanted Parks has definitely lowered the cost of parking. I can't recall how long it's been since parking prices were this low.
These changes all seem very positive. I hope to see them across all of the Enchanted Parks, and I hope that customers reward the parks for these positive pricing changes.
$0.99 processing fee? Six Flags could NEVER!
Tho I wonder what could happen to the streets of some Enchanted Parks, do they have to change the roads to “Enchanted Park Drive” next year?

yes or something like it. obviously they won't call a non-six flags Six Flags Road.
Have you guys wondered how they’re gonna make the new logos for next year.
I just hope Great Escape turns back blue with Splashwater Kingdom on it
