Six Flags reinstates park presidents

Posted | Contributed by Jephry

Six Flags will reverse course from its previous strategy of appointing regional park managers instead of local leaders. The list of parks affected includes Canada's Wonderland, Carowinds, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Over Texas.

Hambone: It's not a matter of surviving; rather, thriving. KI sells a ton of season passes to locals who treat a trip to the park like a trip to the movies.

This reminds me of something I've thought for a long time - the standardized approach to pricing (and I know it's not perfectly standard, but it mostly is) doesn't make sense given the variety of markets NSFW operates in. In Cincinnati, they can appeal to a market of customers who come out every week or two and buy overpriced Graeter's. In Richmond, if they don't have that, maybe the daily gate should be higher (the silver pass is about $20 lower).

Also: $45-55 just seems low to me for a daily ticket - I'm not saying they could charge Disney prices, but 1/3 of Disney's gate price?

We don't need KI for overpriced Graeters, there's a dedicated drive-thru at Jungle Jims now.

Tangentially related, they had to remove some of the relocated remains of KI's Monorail to install that drive thru.

I give up on this acronym. Does this mean anything besides Not Safe For Work anywhere?


Hi

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that couldn't figure that one out.


New Six Flags or Whatever.

The genesis was in one of the merger threads (credit I believe to Hambone, IIRC).
