SixFlags 2010/2011 budget

From Screamscape.com...

According to this article, some information that was previously deemed confidential, was leaked out from the Six Flags filing. It indicates not only predicted EBITDA information for the 2010-2013 seasons ($240, $265, $285 and $310 million) but it also mentioned planned capital spending budgets of $105 million for the 2010 season and $110 million for 2011.

I know it doesn't say exactly what the Cap ex is being spent on, but I think it's safe to say we shall see more then just family rides with that type of money being spent.

With that type of money we may see a few B&M divers and a few Intamin launchers comming to Sf park in the next two years .

Planned spending. Don't count your B&Ms before they're announced.

That's pretty much a non-event. Of course they will continue to plan cap-ex, because it's what keeps the kids interesting. They finally figured out how to be a viable company (if they didn't have the mess of debt), so naturally they're gonna stick with that formula.

I personally would love to see some more Bucaneer Battles show up, along with the GCI's and maybe even a Euro Fighter!

Shapiro said in a recent interview that they've been spending $100M per year on capital for the past several years.

^^Yeah, I was just gonna say...Cedar Fair's annual cap ex of like $100 million basically is a big coaster (Diamondback), a small coaster (Prowler), and a whole bunch of other small stuff.

Considering SF has more parks and more space in those parks, I don't see money for any Son of El Toro anytime soon!!
