Can Six Flags survive the economic roller coaster?
Comment: I am starting a theme park where we bury your family alive, and the first one to dig themselves out wins a prize.
The theme is resourcefulness. How about it, folks?
Comment: One of the problems with Six Flags is their merchandise. I'm not sure about all the other ones, but the merchandise in Magic Mountain (in CA) does NOT make me want to buy anything. Everytime I go to Disneyland, I want to leave with bags full of stuff, I always leave MM empty-handed. Food is another issue, Disneyland is expensive but the food is generally pretty good, MM - not so much. And why is parking so expensive?? None of these make me want to visit Six Flags any more than Disneyland, which is a quick 30 minute trip up the freeway.
Comment: I for one am tired of theme parks sticking it to visitors charging $4 for a bottle of water. $20 for a cheap breakfast for two. What a joke. I am surprised anyone can afford to go and be ripped off by these tourist traps.

Comment: I am lucky enough to live within a reasonable distance from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Last year I bought a season pass and used the free guest days that come with it to get my daughter in. This year we both got season passes to not be limited on the days we can go. Quite frankly with the admission paid for and parking already paid for (new this year to the park) and the $1 all season refills on their soda, we are set. They do not do enough of a search to catch the lunch we bring with us and at least at Discovery Kingdom there are the animal shows and attractions for when it gets too hot or too crowded. But quite frankly, the fewer people, the happier I will be. I do agree the last time I went to Magic Mountain it was gangland USA but it is the better park in CA for thrill rides. I hope they can make it financially, because my daughter loves going and its so close it fills in enough for the time between when we can make it to Disneyland.
Comment: Disney may cost more, but you get what you pay for. Years ago, I went with my sister to Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, and we had a good time. When I suggested going again a while back, she said absolutely not - the place was overrun with gang-bangers. She described how friends had told her about being in line and having 20 teenage males in gang colors barge ahead of them, and the Six Flags staff looking the other way because they were afraid of a confrontation. Disney makes an attempt to shade you while you are in line and to give you something to entertain you while you wait; at Six Flags, you are going to broil in the sun and be bored out of your skull. Even Knotts Berry Farm is preferable,
Comment: Survive? Six Flags and other amusement parks created this problem. I recently went to Six Flags, Texas around 4:00 with some friends. Holy CRAP!!! I've never seen so many people. It made the streets of New York look like a ghost town. Good lord, there were people EVERYWHERE!! So, we made it to one of the rides and got in line. Waited in line for 15 minutes and then came upon a sign. . ."Your wait from this point is 2 1/2 hours". Are you serious??? Fifty bucks for this? They weren't even taking the 'no wait in line fee" because there were so many people. I'd rather bang my head on cement. We left because we would've only gotten in 2 rides before they closed at 10! There's got to be a better way and Six Flags just can't figure it out. Try taking tens of thousands of people and cram them into 25 rides and see what happens!!!
