Six Flags Agrees to Sell Seven Parks for $312 Million

^ And therein lies the biggest mystery!

[Wes.]

^ I think a bigger mystery will be the operations by the new owners. For example: Will they allow adults to ride kiddie coasters?

If not, they might as well just get rid of the parks then. I mean, what's the point?

Does this mean that the vision Wes had of SFMM being transformed into a World Class Pavement Megacomplex will now go unfulfilled?

I'm so crushed right now you don't even know.

Does this mean no Pave Magic Mountain T-Shirts. I weep.

Correct if I'm wrong but don't these parks now lose some of their liscensed content, like Looney Tunes characters and certain ride names? Those names and characters are part of a Six Flags licensed agreement to use them and not the specific park, right?

So, will characters disappear and names of rides change now that these several parks are sold away from Six Flags?

It depends on what the deal is that they struck with Six Flags. My guess is yeah, the licensed properties would have to be re-named. Not much different from when Cedar Fair bought Geauga Lake.

It is nice to see that they will continue to be amusement parks, and hopefully the new owners can care about these parks instead of just putting them on the end of the to do list like SF did.

^ Read the thread. Your question has already been answered.

Wow, now a n00b company is trying to get its name out, lets see whether or not this well result in trainwreck or success.

Anyways, some WTF in the air, this "PARC" company... what other parks does it operate? I see in their website that they operate parks "here and in Latin America."

I hope some of these parks don't end up crappier than they are already. Good luck Parc...

[smartestcoasterkidever!X is the best. Tatsu sucks.]

I am VERY glad that this happened. I've only been to Elitch's and I don't think it's all that good of a park. I go there because me and my dad both have a fun time there. But it is nice to know that the place will remain open. BTW, my dad mentioned something about if SFEG closes, a developer wants to build a 300 acre park outside of town. Any rumors on this? Anyway, I am not glad MM wasn't bought. It might be an awful Six Flags park, maybe just an awful park period, but the park has hope. Not being sold, it probably won't be changed in a while. MM needs to sacrafice a lot of things and the park would be a nicer, more respectable place to be. Isn't S:TE for sale? I think that it shouldn't be replaced with a coaster if a buyer is found. Needs to be replaced with some flats or something. Never being to MM, I can't complain to them. After reading a lot of news articles, reviews, websites, and a whole lot of TPR material, I learned more about MM and what it is like. The park looks beautiful and I think that the potential for this park keeps dwindling every day unless something is done to it. Mark Sh(something) needs to reconsider this buy.
