I think the logo looks very tasteful and more reminiscent of Cedar Fair's logo. After the logo reveal, reading articles, and seeing statements from execs, I am becoming a little optimistic. It looks like they're openly admitting that Six Flags needs to come up to Cedar Fair standards, vs. the other way around. There have been multiple mentions of the former Six Flags being mismanaged. I hope they isolate the comics to the original Six flags parks and keep the clean lines feel of former Cedar Fair parks.

I went on April 27th and met SPEEDY GONZALES as we were heading out of the park. I'm going this Saturday, can't wait to see who I meet!

Every coaster in the park is open as I type this, but that is definitely a rarity this season.

If anyone is planning on going to the park for Phoenix Rising's opening, I think the park put out the wrong date. Here is the post from the other day: I just got an e-mail from the park about the Passport to Thrills event and they list the previews as the following: "Saturday, 7/13: Platinum Pass Member Preview, 10-5pm Sunday, 7/14: Platinum and Gold Pass Member Preview (10am – 9pm) Monday, 7/15: Platinum, Gold, and Silver Pass Member Preview, (2pm-9pm) Tuesday, 7/16: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Pass Member Preview (2pm- 9pm) Wednesday, 7/17: All Pass Member and Fun Card Preview (10am- 9pm)" Based on that it doesn't seem like it is opening to everyone on the 14th.

Six Flags really wont be running anything, 95% of the company will be ran by Cedar Fair upper management from a corporate level. The new Six Flags is really just the old Cedar Fair. I overheard some conversations that Cedar Fair people were recently at our park and see a lot of future and charm with our park. Not like we haven't heard that before. While this is a merger it is similar in fact that when Premier Parks (the company that killed the Six Flags name) took over from Time Warner that they just changed their name to Six Flags. One thing to bare in mind however is that much like the Time Warner years a lot of people liked the parks that Cedar Fair took over when they were owned by Paramount, ie Kings Island. Movie companies just have a way of making their parks look and run better. This is proven by Disney and Universal Studios.

There are reports that they keep changing the exit procedure for the ride. When I rode the coaster on Tuesday, they allowed everyone to go through an emergency exit that goes right outside. More recently, they are now forcing people to wait in line for the penguin exhibit after the ride and it is taking people up to 25 minutes to exit after waiting and walking through the exhibit. I hope they are just testing different policies and that won't be a permanent policy. Having to wait in line to exit each time you ride the coaster is going to be very frustrating.

I would not be surprised if SF does not "brand" rides at SFDL because they only operate the park, not own it. If the were to officially purchase it from EPR, then they would have more skin in the game and I bet you would see characters everywhere

Probably COVID.
