IMO Zach can be upset about the carousel all he wants and has every right to voice it, but it does seem that every couple of weeks when someone decides to finally chime in this thread, Zach always somehow brings up the Carosuel. lol. Definitely see how Kim can get upset about it. I can see both sides. I’m sorry, but in all due respect, just bringing this up completely disproves your “intent” lol. I mean this in all good fun but saying that and immediately following it up is just funny, in other words it’s like saying “No offense, but you are really ugly.” lol. Anyways, some park news for the upcoming season. I would like to be the first to share opening day is April 5th, as of now Friday evenings in the spring are returning, which haven’t since 2021. Of course the schedule is being finalized so it could easily be taken off the table, which happened last year. The entertainment budget has increased this year, which has been pretty much nonexistent since Selim took it away after the 2021 season. The park is currently in the midst of hiring a new entertainment manager. Also it’s to my knowledge the park is likely receiving an attraction in 2026. Contrary to what corporate released. -

No that logo is only for the company. They will continue the 2019 logo under the brand. -
I believe I read that that logo is only for corporate related press releases and such. The other Six flags logo, with the multi colored flags, is the consumer facing logo still used. I agree I'd love to see "Six Flags California" phased out and just the park names, and maybe "A Six Flags park" underneath and slowly de-emphasize the Six Flags name from all but the "Over" parks. -

Having lived in Valencia all my life, I've literally grown up with this sign. It's odd how a simple object can attach itself to your life but also mean nothing to most people. It's just a freeway sign but to me the fact that it's changing like this is important somehow. That's why I brought it here when I saw that serious work had started on it for the first time in decades. I'm just dying to know what it's ultimately going to become. They're definitely going for something with this gold and light beige-looking style. What is it though? It's certainly not the soft blues with red augments that we're used to from Cedar Fair. Perhaps the light and gold will eventually accent them? The two small individual park signs for Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor, signs that were added the last time this sign went through such a big change nearly 30 years ago, is the part I wonder most about though. Why are they still there? What will happen to them? Are they part of the finished product? If they stay, for sure the main part of the sign will again be Six Flags. For me, I don't want to see that "legacy" Six Flags logo as you could call it. If the sign can't be simply Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor, as I would prefer, and it had to be Six Flags again, I would prefer to see a Six Flags more in this style. Just as a wonderfully ironic conclusion, if you will, to the rivalry that SFMM and Cedar Point have had. -

I await to see the final version of the new marquee with the current Six Flags logo from 2019. -

It spelled different. It's two o's at the beginning which my family's name spelled. -
^ Ah, progress. 🙂 By the way, your last name "sounds" like how others pronounce my last name ..... Houghton. Had to let you know, lol! We pronounce our name as 'Howtn'. Emphasis on the first syllable. 😉 -

They added some detailed gold lines to it recently. -

I already said you were entitled to your position as well as voicing it. What I am questioning is why you are so hyper focused on it and continue to voice it over and over and over again. Again, what is the purpose? So..........it actually does sound like you are trying to make it a battle of whose been here longer, otherwise why mention it, although I will accept that wasn't your intent. My son worked at the park as well. So? That has nothing to do with a valid opinion. And guess what? Opposing opinions can both be valid, that's why they are opinions and not facts and criticism is fine. I have no issues with that! I do genuinely care for the park and I appreciate you noting that. I have no reason to think most people on here feel otherwise, we perhaps just disagree on what is best for the park or how important certain things are. However, Zach has routinely stated that he doesn't really care for the park, doesn't really want to go anymore, and that other parks are more enjoyable for him, fine; yet he posts about the carousel quite a lot on this and other threads. I was inquiring more about his motive for doing so versus the validity of his position. You say you know the truth. Ok, what is it and how do you know? I have stated that I 100% believe the park should be way more transparent on what exactly the holdup is, then we wouldn't all be speculating on the issue. We might not like the answer but at least we would know. I don't really feel that non information from the park is the same as lying though. Guys! In the end this is just NOT the end of the world in the scheme of things and while I love a good debate (social studies teacher here!) I just don't think complaining about a carousel restoration is worth the vast amount of time we've put into it at this point. Our park may not be the best but it is far from the worst. If you're on here and have money and time to devote on ANY level to theme parks then life is probably pretty good! Let's try to focus on the positive. Despite anyone's perception, historically speaking we live at the most peaceful, safest, and prosperous time in history. Truly. Eat, drink, and be merry everyone and enjoy your holiday season! 😀 -

Yeah, I feel like the Nighthawk plot and Drop Tower plot could both just be left without a ride and look fine. Nighthawk is front and center but it's also well landscaped and has some trees ponds and fountains. I don't think they'll be in any rush to put anything there. The Enterprise plot might look weird but they could put literally anything there. -
I think the plan within the chain is not only to get rid of some problematic rides/coasters but also to have less of them to save on costs. Having a few less but with high capacity it will balance out. And with the merging of SF and Cedar Fair into one company, they have eliminated a lot of competition and now they can focus primarily on profitability. For sure they will add big rides/coasters in the near future but we will end up having less attractions in total IMO. -

Yeah. It could. But these new colors looked fantastic with not only Gold, but also some White, Pink, Light Blue, Light Green, Primal Yellow and Orange. That could fit with the current Six Flags logo. All Bright Painting had worked hard on the new colors. -

At some point, even nostalgia starts to look a little too dated.
