News September 8th Mystery Announcement

[MrBradferd]

I mean it says thrills. It cant mean anything else other than something to do with a ride or so

 

[deere839]

unlikely but what about them doing what they tried before with going out there and buying old rides again. was it only carowinds that got those rides?

 

[Fiender]

ElToroRyan mentioned some time ago that he'd heard Maverick was getting a major renovation, including a semi-return of the heartline roll. Not an exact copy of the original removed element of course, but something more modern. Maverick's heartline roll is something of an iconic amusement park "what if", and bringing it back would certainly "turn heads".

SFMM's new coaster anoucement?

SFMM's new coaster anoucement?

No, that’s on the 10th.

 

[Jazma]

No, other parks received those relocated European rides. WOF had three, for example, though one is already gone.

 

[CoasterRattler🐍]

Six Flags gonna announce that they’ll turn all of their parks into AI data centers

 

[horsesboy]

Hey maybe on Monday they are announcing that Durant defaulted on the purchase of SFA and that they are reposessing the property. Then on Tuesday that it will reopen im 2027 with Switchback and Ariforce 1 as new additions.

Of course that is just a dream.

Maverick is already insane as it is.

If they bring back the heartline roll in some capacity.

It might be the most intense coaster on the planet

And the 3 Intamins from the park in China.

I can’t see it being a sale. That would do the opposite of reinforce their standing. If it were any other chain, I’d guess new park, but not with 6F. I could see it being them announcing Arie/Switchback/the China Intamins or something along those lines. Or another merger, but I doubt that

 

[Jazma]

I wondered the same....a merger with United Parks?

 

[mugnezz]

They will sell Kings Dominion and Six Flags Mexico.
The parks they operate will return to EPR.

 

[Jazma]

Well Six Flags Mexico is on leased land with some pension fund....EPR is all about owning the real estate so unlikely that park.

But I'd love them to ditch the managed parks and EPR find other operators.

Please don't speak such things lest you will them into being.

Every chain in the US is merging, Herschend will be the head so that everyone can have cinnamon bread.

 

[Zachary]

I hadn't considered the Intamin bundle from China. If they acquired something like that, I could imagine a chain-wide announcement of that acquisition. Makes more sense than just an AF1 announcement to me for sure.

probably would do wonders to BGT

probably would do wonders to BGT

Even if there could be a limited, short-term improvement to, say, operations and dining, long-term, it would likely be a disaster. Hopefully the SIX/FUN merger has demonstrated the horrors of consolidation in this industry for consumers (and, amusingly, Wall St. apparently).
