There are two types of people in the world. People who like coasters and idiots.

Yes, but coasterkid 92 knows how to spell.
freewebs or any other free host hardly counts as "having a website" especially since you can't actually post pictures (you have to hot link, which is very NOT COOL when it comes to web design). Try getting a server (even a hosted one) and paying for a domain. iPowerWeb or GoDaddy is a decent place to start until your bandwidth needs expand.
Now, from a financial stand-point...what does Snyder do? Continue to let Cedar Point and Knott's (which is home to the largest Johnny Rockets franchise in the world in terms of square-footage) continue to operate these restaurants and collect the franchise fees from Cedar Fair? Or does he pull the rug out from beneath Cedar Fair and strictly make Six Flags the official parks to operate Johnny Rockets restaurants?
Time will tell!
All I've heard so far is speculation from people who don't seem to understand that Six Flags did not buy Johnny Rockets. Dan Snyder did. There's nothing that says CF can't (or won't) keep Johnny Rockets, or even add new ones. People buy shares in (aka "own") competing companies all the time - I recall seeing several posts on here from people who own Six Flags and Cedar Fair stock. Why wouldn't Dan Snyder be able to own an amusement park and a restaurant without them taking his restaurant out of another amusement park? To me it would make more sense to encourage the restaurants in other parks to maximize his profit!! The restaurant revenue never makes it anywhere near the amusement park's money books. It goes to Dan's bottom line, and that's it. He could just as easily sell Six Flags to Disney and hold on to Johnny Rockets.

Anyhow, Ruby's is the same concept as JR's and could be replaced fairly easily, providing they got the franchise rights.
I thought they would have added the Chicken Dinner Restaurant years ago when Cedar Fair purchased Knott's, but it wouldn't be able to be in a space the size of the Johnny Rockets.
