Buy or Sell: With the merger, Magic Mountain will get theme/atmosphere upgrades but will get less coasters with competition in Cedar Point and King's Island

@zacg_ 8 ай бұрын

I think Magic Mountain will either get built up further or get sold. It depends on how desperate the new company is to sell assets. Magic Mountain does not compete in the same market as Kings Island or Cedar Point so that really won't have anything to do with it. If the new company begins to expand the parks, that won't happen quickly. Magic Mountain is on some very valuable real estate and Six Flags almost sold it previously out of desperation. I doubt that will happen but it certainly could. But if the new company weathers the storm they'l probably want Magic Mountain to get a bigger chunk of the southern California market. But I doubt that would mean a ton of new coasters but probably it would get a bunch of park improvements to really clean it up to look more like a place like Kings Island.

@Mythyval 8 ай бұрын

They’ll make it so that Cedar Point and Magic Mountain have the same number of coasters. That way they can market both parks as having the most roller coasters in the world.

100% agree. There's no way they can keep Ninja and Superman open much longer. Mm is going to lose its title. The top of mountain seems to only be open for Fright Fest.

@@zacg_ SFMM being sold isn't a possibility, you're talking about six flags' flagship park and even with the merger you're still talking 1 of the top 3. not to mention its gonna be the park that brings in the most money since its open all year. It will get quality upgrades but coasters are its main draw and that wont change. They have their well themed park in Knotts, SFMM is the coaster park.

@Shark_Builds_Bro 8 ай бұрын

I think this is likely, and will be dependant on two things: word of mouth and cost. Most of the new Six Flags board members will be from Cedar Fair, but they will still be answering to Six Flags managers and parks with more experience with RMC coasters. All of Six Flags' combined RMC coasters likely have a near perfect record for maintenance compared to the opening years of Steel Vengence, meaning RMC may have a better record overall. As for price, RMC I box coasters are very cheap compared to simmilarly sized coasters, especially if it's a conversion of an old woodie. Six Flags/Cedar Fair may have to shop more responsibly if they hope to get their 4 billion dollar debt paid off, meaning cheaper attractions may be more likely investments, enter RMC.

SF financial results have been poor for years, even as other chains were producing post pandemic records SF was going to 2017 levels of financials. There is no point of the merger from the SF perspective, if they are going to keep doing the same failed stuff. SF wanted to do premiumization and they failed at it with Selim. CF has actually done premiumization the last decade successfully and that's what will be implemented at the top 6 or so SF parks.

Buy or Sell: Kings Island's next coaster will not be a B&M. It's going to be a launched coaster. They havent introduced any since before CF even took over. FoF is from 1996 and Backlot Stunt Coaster came out in 2005. They're overdue, and nearby parks Indiana Beach and Kentucky Kingdom don't have any. And Holiday World only has Thunderbird. The next closest would be CP, and I don't think launched coasters are a competition threat between CP and KI. I'll take it a step further. Maybe this won't happen for the NEXT coaster, but KI will be removing the ampitheatre and Invertigo (possibly remove/relocate Congo Falls) for a new front gate coaster. Invertigo is the last of the inverted boomerangs I believe, I don't see it staying for a decade longer. Despite how much I like it. Maybe the station is where Son of Beast is, and it's a winding layout to the front. There's room and it'd give some love to Action Zone again

The talk of potential guests and other nearby states is delusional thoosie talk. 95%+ of all guest at regional theme parks are within 100 miles.

Agree that parks would tailor live entertainment and dining to the World Cup, but not necessarily add a new coaster. That said, 2026 would probably still be good years for Knott's or Magic Mountain, Fun Spot Atlanta, Hersheypark, Canada's Wonderland, Six Flags Mexico, or SFNE (if the Goliath / Flashback replacement is delayed) to get a major new addition. Over Texas might want to replace La Vibora with a Gravitykraft woodie around then to compete with the Universal park as well. The Vekoma Super Boomerang will probably be a capacity nightmare for Great Adventure, but they'll capitalize off Flash Pass sales as long as guests are willing to pay for them.

Buy or Sell: like video game console exclusives, will we ever see a coaster maker enter into timed exclusive or fully exclusive agreements w one of the big 3 (universal/disney/six) to drive attendance to the parks, unique exclusive, ride types? For example, if Six Flags and RMC entered into an IBox exclusive (ride type or full patent catalogue) agreement for 10 years to differentiate between universal Disney and the smaller independent theme parks?

I'm selling that, at least for Disney or Universal. The types of rides they build tend to be so expensive that the vast majority of park operators wouldn't be able to afford to build the same types of things anyway.

I feel like the B&M dive coasters will be the new bat man clones of this era. They’re popping up everywhere.

Buy or sell : with the merger between cedar and flags we will see a overall improvement in the 6-flags parks while we see little change in the cedar fair parks.

Dispatching 8 times in one hour seems like a MASSIVE problem. That’s ridiculously bad. I’m pretty sure even when I rode Demon with VR it might have done more than that.

Buy or Sell: The vekoma boomerang will have 2 trains so they can load and unload faster so they don't have a really long line kinda like what Mr. Freeze has at SFSL & SFOT.
