Cedar Fair, Six Flags agree to merge; new company will be headquartered in North Carolina

www.cleveland.com

The new company, which will be called Six Flags, will feature a combined 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and nine resorts across 17 states, Canada and Mexico. A press statement called the transaction a “merger of equals.”

Richard Zimmerman becomes CEO and the majority of the company will be half and half. The new company will use FUN but will retain the Six Flags name.

So they’ve basically become a monopoly outside of heavily themed parks in California and Florida?

  IMHO Close to it. SeaWorld has major parks in Virginia and Texas but outside of that there is really only much smaller chains or independent parks.

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn’t get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.
Back up facts with sources as much as possible
No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.
No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn’t be encouraged.
Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.
No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)
No posting personal information.
No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything – and that’s ok.
