Yay! Another megacorp to water down anything unique about these megaproperties!
Not like six flags is a loss of anything
They're joining and becoming 6 flags, which feels like it is a major loss.
I've been to most other parks around SoCal and never had any interest in seeing Knotts Berry Farm as they don't really have any interesting attractions. This can't make that any worse.
Cedar point spoiled us in the Midwest. Like, a legitimate life changing coaster every 5 or so years. At least I'll always have the memories.
I'm sad to hear Knotts wasn't cooler.
And it's like what's next, they're gonna be bought out by Disney?
First they’ll buy King’s Dominion and Universal Studios, then they’ll open a super park in Florida’s natural rival: Washington.
Then Dolly Parton will buy the new company and make it actually good.
Cedar Fair already owns Kings Dominion. So now the "new" Six Flags owns it.
Ooooop-
Cedar Point has always been one of my favorite places in the world. I can't believe Cedar Fair fucked us all like this. This shouldn't be legal. There isn't even a competitor outside those 2 that can survive in the space. This can only mean higher prices and a worse experience across the board. What a fucking disappointment.
Let's be honest when they acquired Kings Island it was down hill from there
100% gotta keep Ohio fighting itself. That's law.
Dang, I really like Knotsberry Farm. Sounds like an end of an era.
That's my read on this as well. Ignoring Disney parks, Knott's was the only major park in California with a unique feel. All Six Flags stuff feels the same, and for that, there are too many of them.
I forgot People was a magazine. I thought the headline was just oh you know people are saying it.

Found the only other Utahn around here.
