That would be a tragedy. Freeze is an icon. You can hear the roar throughout half of the park.4 points

Six Flags does not own this property and is in a management and branding agreement with EPR properties. EPR is solely responsible for any and all capital investments or improvements to Darien Lake (as they are the owner) which is most likely why there was no Six Flags surveys done. It is my opinion that EPR is fulfilling it's obligations to whatever Six Flags expects in their contract with them, vice versa. I also have seen EPR consistently and albeit more slowly, start to maintain this park in a more Cedar Fair way (E.G., Michigans Adventure and similar parks), as they are bringing their old, more popular rides back to life, removing maintanence nightmare attractions like Grizzley run Ect. and not currently investing in new attractions. Even with one train operations , I now rarely wait more than 15 minutes for anything at the park and everything is open almost all the time which leads to a pleasurable experience. Good management and maintenance is key factor. With all that being said, I am sure EPR has some plans for the future as does Six Flags. This park also makes money on it's hotel, campgrounds, waterpark and the 20 or so concerts they host annually in their 20,000 person capacity amphitheater (all top touring bands). I could see after getting all their current ducks in a row that EPR (or Six Flags, if they choose to purchase it outright) would/should make a larger attraction investment, as it would then, IMO, be a smart return on investment. This park is no way a negative asset to either company and although it is taking a different path than the other 39 Six Flags parks, it is going in a good direction IMO, more than a lot of the parks in the collective chain right now. A survey is just not needed here, it wouldn't matter.2 points

I mean if it's replaced with something on-par with AlpenFury I'm sure SFOT would take that trade.1 point
