It better happen! It would be a huge blow to the meme economy for it to not happen.

It's nice to see footage from my homepark Darien Lake which ironically isn't owned by Six Flags, but they operate/manage them, which makes me worried about the future of the park if Six Flags drops the lease on it, then who will EPR Properties choose for the next operator, this park has gone through enough owners/operators through the past few decades and has an identity crisis.

The merger was originally planned to close in 1H24. Not sure where you’re getting this January date from. The deal is contingent on the Six Flags shareholders vote, as you noted, which isn’t scheduled until March 12.

1:00 "taking the Six Flags name" ????? Hoping i misunderstood

If Cedar Fair and Six Flags aren't merging like what they say on the news, that means California's Great Coastline is not closing, they're saying that to fix it. F it, I'm calling it California's Great Coastline because it doesn't feel like an Journey through America themed theme park compare to Six Flags Great America near Chicago. So that means the news don't know what's going on between the amusement Parks

its happening

I prefer CF and it's less in debt, so I think the merger is a good thing and still think it'll happen. However: since there always were both pros and cons to this merger anyway: I'm not attached to any result. Thanks for posting, Coaster Legend! You're a much beloved coaster enthusiast.

I hope that they don't merge. Cedar Fair is a well-run company, and Six Flags is a mess. It also seems like a punishment to Sandusky, where Cedar Fair/Cedar Point has been headquartered for over 150 years.

Food has gotten better at Cedar Point, but operations definitely have been on the decline under Zimmerman and probably even before. I don't get around much to the rest of the chain, but KI actually seemed better than CP operationally more recently. Zimmerman, Fisher, and CF's board are screwing over shareholders and park fans to enrich themselves. Unfortunately, I agree it will still go through.

What’s the coaster in the opening shot?

Mabye over georgia will finally fix some of their stupid rules that you don't find at any other park

Can you say anti-trust?

Hmmm

I honestly think Zimmerman is doing good for Cedar Fair. But I sure hope we actually hear soon of whats going on about this.

I would rather loose DC

Hope it does not occur. Most of there parks are not taking care of and very dirty 😢😢😢

So basically once Cedar Fair heard that Six Flags was getting the better end of the deal they attempted to pull out?

Hey, remember your reaction videos you posted during the golden age of your channel?😏 I loved what you did with your voice there.

merger would be bad for the smaller six flags parks like my home park six flags st louis

I don't mind the merger it's the fanboying I can't stand.

merger? I barley even know her

THE MERGER IS NOT IN A TOUGH SPOT. 1)The DOJ request is standard, it means nothing negative as of now, though your literally the 1000th thoosie to make it more than it is. BTW, stop making stuff up. The time frame SF/Cf gave was by the end of first half of the year. First half of the year means up to end of June. The individual audits of some parks wasn't suppose to happen till April. The earliest this was ever going to close was May, in the best case scenario just based on the audit schedule. There is no economic impact as you falsely claim. 2)The companies are claiming it's a merger of equals, but the finances of the deal are actually structured as Cedar Fair acquiring Six Flags. Cedar Fair shareholders don't get to vote on acquisitions of other entities , they do if they were being acquired as the minority stake, like Six Flags, That's why SF shareholders get to vote. The deal was structured that way for 2 reasons, CF is the stronger company financially & there was little chance CF shareholders would have approved. CF is doing records financials post pandemic, they are doing massive stock buy backs, reinstated dividend, etc..In contrast SF has regressed to 2017/2018 financials, lost a massive amount of their pass base, etc... SF has done this while their peers Cedar Fair & SEAS are doing record financials in 2022/2023. 3)The CF shareholder also left out the fact if SF shareholders vote against the merger SF owes CF 63M. SF shareholder do get a $1 per share divide if the merger happens, However they are getting 0.58 shares of the combined entity for each SF chair. As of today CF shared are $41.96, SF $25.33... The deal at 0.58 per share would at last close value Sf shares at $24.34 though the current price is $25.33. The $1 special dividend really just covers that discrepancy. Of course when the deal was first announced the $1 dividend still put SF shareholders $2 under value on conversion. It could turn that way again, as CF Q1 will be likely far better than SF's & the stock prices could diverge more. 4) What are you talking about at 4:22 mark? The people that are complaining have no vote. So, the notion "the people that have to vote on it don't have the best opinion of it", is blatantly false. CF shareholders don't get to vote, the guy with 3% complaining & the 400 other shareholders he's suppose to have a meeting with. They really have no recourse as under corporate by laws they only get a vote if CF is being acquired. 5) NO THE CHANCES OF THE MERGER HAPPENING HAVE NOT GONE DOWN! 6)Having SF shareholders vote & not CF was a great idea. How you drew the opposite conclusion shows you don't know what you're talking about & read. Also, you clearly do not understand business & finance.

Someone almost always gets screwed in mergers. I think it's gonna happen. And in the long run, is best for both companies especially Six Flags.

I hope this merger falls apart. It's a bad idea from A to Z. Every time a big company merges with another big company it leads to higher prices and a crappier product. Consumers do not benefit from large mergers.

NO MERGER !! Let Six Flags take care of their own problems. Cedar Fair and their stock holders are getting screwed !
