My name is Derrick and I'm an avid coaster enthusiast. Roller coasters have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I created this channel so I could have an outlet to express my fandom of roller coasters, amusement parks/theme parks, and other random things I might feel like sharing!
We should outlaw corporate conglomerates like this, in my opinion. It may not matter that much or be a huge issue in this industry, that's more regional based. But every other industry where there's only a few competitors? It's the modern day monopoly. At my core, I almost never like when corporations combine. And I don't see any benefit to the consumer in this deal. Not that that is the point. It's all about growth.
I could see some of the lower tier parks getting the Six Flags name attached to them but I hope they don't do that with all their parks (especially with Knotts Berry Farm and California's Great America being located pretty close to Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom).
Unlocking the bonus track selection and selecting your favorite song is a cool touch. If it wasn’t for the music aspect, I think I would not have enjoyed this ride so much. But going down a drop while listening to “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by the Who is an experience you can’t get anywhere else!
Six Flags has far more name/brand recognition than Cedar Fair. Most people know and have heard of Six Flags. Ask any none enthusiast if they've heard of Cedar Fair, and they'll tell you no. Six Flags has the stronger name/brand which is why they went with that. Going with Cedar Fair would simply make no sense in this case.
Dang it, Six Flags sucks. The name sucks, the brand sucks. Cedar Fair has a reputation of clean, well ran, diverse parks with world class attractions. Why would they throw that away?
@@alecscheerer2329 Anybody that goes to other chains knows SF is low end. I know people that lived only where SF parks were nearby. They went to Cedar Point & Kings Island on my recommendation & commented they had know idea how low end SF was in comparison to Cedar Fair. People that think Sf isn't trash just haven't been anywhere or have low standards b/c they want Dollar Store experience b/c they value cheapness over quality.
@@alecscheerer2329 Whooooa there buddy. I'm not mad at all but it appears you may be. Because I think Cedar Fair is far superior compared to Six Flags, and pray to God that the CF parks strays from adoptting SF ways doesn't mean I'm mad! Matter of fact, your response was a bit strong and emotional and to assume I'm mad is dumb logic. I don't have to like this merger to think it could potentially be good for both sets of parks, I actually hope it is and think it will be. Simply saying "SF" sucks (which it does) means nothing. That's like, my opinion man. Calm down there bud.
I haven't ridden TT2 yet but it looks like a great ride experience. I loved the forcefulness of TTD. I think TT2 was the best way to reimagine TTD and keep it around for years to come.
Two questions. First, will my Cedar Fair All Park Passport still get me into the Cedar Fair parks for the remainder of the season, or will it no longer be usable? Second, will my Six Flags Plus pass get me into all Cedar Fair parks along with the Six Flags parks, or does that not start until next year?
@grobble8954 Because I was worried that once the merger is complete and Cedar Fair no longer exists, a Cedar Fair pass of any kind would no longer work as a result. At that same time, I also wondered if a Six Flags pass would work for all previous Cedar Fair parks now that they're officially Six Flags parks.
I hope current Six Flags parks such as; Great Adventure, Fiesta Texas, Magic Mountain (perhaps even Riverside?) could drop the current Six Flags Titled name, and rebrand as “a Six Flags Park” and possibly see some of the lower tear Cedar Fair parks become something like Six Flags Michigans Adventure or so?
I just looked it up, cedar fair will own more than six flags (cedar fair has 51.2% and six flags has 48.8%, so there’s nothing really to be worried about, cedar fair is obv gunna be six flags, but since they merged, bad six flags parks like Six flags Darien lake, might get some new coasters.😊
I think everyone will have to accept a new identity of six flags They have a bad track record but with cedar fair taking more control over the company the only bad thing currently is the bad reputation the six flags name already had
Growing up in NE ohio, Cedar Fair has a special place in my heart. Sure, a lot of people blame them for killing the park of my childhood, but I have always given them a pass on that, in large part because at least they weren't six flags. I was pretty bummed when I first heard about the merger, I was worried about the soul of the company and stuff. Honestly though, as much as we might not want to admit it, in the end both companies are giant corporations whose main goal is to grow and provide returns for shareholders. So far cedar fair has just been the better of the two at doing so in a way that feels less tacky, if a little bland at times. Heres to hoping the whole thing doesn't go butt up, but also knowing that if it does, it's not the end of the world.
I'm so excited to get back to Six Flags Cedar Point to ride Milleniu I mean Goliath. Superman Shoot I Forgot My Wallet The Ride. And can't forget Rapt, sorry, Batman The Not Cloned Ride.
All i hope is that they don't over advertise or show off the whole merger or the company being called "Six Flags". I really don't want to have to go to Cedar Point and all of thoose Cedar Fair signs saying "Sux Flags". My one last hope being that they keep their DC themes to the og Six Flags parks and keep the Peanuts at the og Cedar Fair parks.
I have to preface the fact that six flags only has this negative view in the eyes of enthusiasts. The mast majority of guests donr care and still see six flags as a luxury. And its a prominent name in the industry much more than cedar fair.
Cedar Fair is running the show. These videos about this subject is getting stupid. No such thing as Six Flags Kings Island or Batman Cooperhead Strike. Six Flags is going to be ran like a Cedar Fair parks each park will have its own personality.
They’ll have more money this way, and maybe they can make a park with themed rides instead of just cookie-cutter-coasters. Even if the ride layouts are good, I’d rather go to a Universal Park because they have unique and imaginative rides that are a nice visual experience and thrill experience.
