How Many people think that this will happen in the near future? Or will it be Six Flags Lake George or Six Flags New York. And How many other parks do you think will get the Six Flags name next year. 17 Six Flags Parks wow I can remember when there was like 5.
The Only Possibilities that I can think of unless Premier buys more parks are .
Great Escape-------Six Flags Great Escape
Frontier City------Six Flags Oklahoma
Walibi Wavre-------Six Flags Belgium
Park In Germany----Six Flags Germany
Wyandot Lake-------Six Flags Wyandot Lake
I personally think they will go for The park in Germany and Great Escape to get major makeovers and Of Course The Six Flags Seal of approval too much needs to be done at Frontier City and Wyandot Lake.
What do you think?

If I had to put a guess on things they would leave GE and WL alone for awhile as they just opened new (well re-done) parks in the area. I could see the Germany park and Oklahoma park getting the flags. In fact I would go for Germany first, and watch them install an SLC and a woodie of some sort.
Wyandot definately needs re-vamped. On the commercials, they boast "Three Brand New Atrractions and the park's most exciting year ever!" The new attractions are just stupid one month shows that feature magic and ice skating. I'm a coaster purist, always against generic-izing that Six Flags does, but bring the Lake a new draw!
The park in Germany is Warner Bros. Movie World, they already have a woodie that just opened this year (Wild Wild West). I would be very surprised if this park is re-branded becuase the WBMW brand is very strong in Europe. In fact I would not be surprised if a park in America got this name and a major new ride package.
Great Escape is my "second home", although they may not have the biggest and best rides ever it is a great park. It is home to in my opinion one of the great woodies (comet), and since it became a six flags property it has had some major expansion. That's how they earned the Nightmare indoor twister and the Boomerang. If Great Escape does get changed to sumthing like Six Flags NY or Six Flags Lake George, i would love to see major expansion. Here are some ideas(and these r just my opinions). 1.take out the Steamin Demon...this is a standard Arrow loop n screw coaster which is sumtimes very rough on the side of ure head, and doesn't provide too many thrills at all, the first drop is barely even a drop, it's more like a dip into the loop. Because the Demon doesn't take up a lot of space, if they also removed the Condor, i think they would be able to move in a pair of S+S SpaceShot/Turbo Drop towers which would be a nice addition. 2. Add a buncha new flat rides, spin n spew rides, and thrill rides. Some examples include a Huss Frisbee, a Chance Inverter, a Chance Chaos, an Air-Jumper,a Top-Spin. 3. Replace the current Vekoma Boomerang and replace w/ Vekoma Invertigo. 4. Get Rid of the Bobsled. This ride doesn't provide thrills at all. Maybe clear out a lot of land in the bobsled area (some restaurents and mainly where most of the park games are) and throw in a major roller coaster (Sumthing like Jokers Jinx could fit into an relatively medium sized area if that stuff was cleared out). 5. Remove the water park and replace with a major coaster. The water park is extremely small, and none of the rides r thrilling at all. If cleared out all that water park, I'm sure a real major roller coaster could fit in that area.....although i would love to see this become of full-blown Six Flags park, i don't want it to become one of typical Premier Parks fashion. I have always loved this park and would hate to see it turn out like some other Premier Parks owned par猀 栀愀瘀攀⸀⸀⸀
KORN How much room is there to expand?

Last time i was at great escape, i noticed that many rides weren't being used, any many of the buildings have been cleared out...perhaps they are going to be removed...also the area around the park is very bland. Behind the park is all area owned by great escape, it just hasn't been used yet. If this land is used.....and that area of rides and buildings is cleared out...there will be plenty of room to expand.
