Six Flags reinstates park presidents

Well, well if list doesn’t confirm the ten most important parks.

Obviously KD missing is telling, along with Fiesta. Curious what happens to Dorney and SFNE, as the other two Mid-Level parks, that are not leased.

^ As well as Discovery Kingdom and Mexico, two parks I've long felt will be sold off. I felt this even before the merger.

I feel like the new company wants parks with the potential to earn 3 million visitors per year or more. It's a numbers game at this point.

It does seem that way. I'm worried about Dorney - arguably siphoning off business while it's in the company, and a direct competitor in both the Philadelphia and NY Metro markets if they were to sell it.

(I think the NYC + Philly markets are more than big enough to support the various parks there, including Hersheypark, Playland, Coney Island, etc. And Dorney is sort of a waterpark with rides anyway. But it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to geaugalake it.)

I always had hoped Cedar Fair would have ultimately been successful with making Geauga Lake a sort of Dorney Park West after realizing they weren't going to keep the (legacy) Six Flags momentum of Cedar Point East. I still think if they had marketed it better, given Bill Spehn some money and a few more years, they could have done it.

But yes, post-merger Dorney is one of those parks I have worried about.

Dorney was slammed every time I went last year, A very hot day, Halloween, and latin nights. I think the reason it didn’t go with others to Enchanted.

Mexico pretty sure never lost its president, and Reilly said it’s a priority for investment after his visit, (akin to CW after CF bought Paramount) and it’s already one of the best looking.
