Six Flags files for Bankruptcy

Scream Machine hurts a lot. I feel like my neck is going to snap whenever I ride it.

Scream Machine is freaking painful, just went on it last week so my memory of it sucking is quite fresh. My neck felt like a dirty slut giving five cent blowjobs at JC Penny afterwards.

Cedar Point was always the better place to go if you're trapped in Ohio anyway.

I might be inclined to say that now. However, Kings Island back when Paramount owned it was always the shit in comparison, but it might've lost that luster (haven't been in 3 years because of school)

Six Flag NE makes me sad, because I loved Riverside back in the day, and at this point they've gotten ride of most of them.

Well.. now that their debt is being restructured maybe they'll have some cash available to restart their advertising with my company.

Also, capitalism.

Good thing Darien Lake went back to private ownership already.

while were on the subject of amusement parks, anyone remember action park in upstate NJ. Most dangerous water park known to man that ever existed lmfao. Ain't been there since i lived up in staten island, NY as a kid. Heard it shutdown back in the mid 90's due to all the accidents and deaths in the park.

Just got home from busch gardens willamsberg last night. finally balls'd up and went on the coasters for once. screw the coaster fear those damn things are fun. Alpengeist kicked ass. Apollo's chariot gave me a bit of a headache after it though plus my bro had me ride front row of it to further break the coaster fear lol. still a lot of fun too.

Personally i haven't been to a six flags park in a good i think 5+ years. Last one i went to was six flags great adventure up in NJ with my cousin and her best friend. couldn't ride any of alpengeist or apollo's chariot type coasters in the park either cause i was too overweight back then to ride em (now a days i weigh i just over 200, used to be about 320 pounds). doesn't surprise me six flags is going bankrupt though. ya pay like 60 bucks to get in then food is outrageously priced compared to any other amusement park i ever been to. i noticed over the weekend that busch gardens lowered its food prices in the park to cope with the economy to generate sales. when i went there last 5 years ago drinks in the park was like 4-5 bucks. this time they were i believe it was 2.79 and that was for a pretty good sized soda. six flags last i went i'm pretty sure drinks for the size i got at busch gardens over the weekend was like 5-6 bucks. banning smoking at six flags i'm sure didn't help either. when i was in busch gardens the past 2 days they had designated smoking areas so the park would still attract smokers and by god there was a ton of em my bro and his gf included.

Man I haven't been to Kings in yeeeears, I just always go to the Point because its only about a 2 hour drive from where I live. The 6 flags we had was geauga lake before 6 flags bought it. I think it would of worked if they would of put some money into it instead of just painting and changing the rides names.

bullshiiiiiit. When Six Flags owned it they put way more rides in(x-flight, serial thriller, the batman ride, superman, and that newer wooden roller coaster the jester?) than when Cedar Fair (Cedar Point owners) bought it, took a shat on it, and then drove it straight into the ground before turning it into Water Park onry.

Anyway, Great America in Gurnee, IL (outside Chicago) is always packed. I read somewhere that the financial health of the entire company was not indicative of individual parks, as Great America is enjoying one its best seasons this year. Also the fact that it can be reached by public transportation is a huge plus.
