SHapiro is still completely missing what seperates Disney from Six Flags. I feel like kicking him in the knee.

I'm hoping for SFMM to be sold to Busch. Anyone for Busch Gardens California?

[GMAN962]

^I'm down! I'd love to experience a Busch park. I've never been to one before. They would probably close it down for like 2 months though. Ya know, changing names, signs, theming, and improving the condition of the park and the rides in it.

Busch parks are pretty cool I been to both Busch Gardens about four times each but I do not think Busch is planning on buying any parks soon.

[rollermonkey]

^^ Busch Gardens California redux! That'd be nice, and SFI hasn't ripped out too many trees over the years that Busch couldn't turn that aspect around. The water bills would be pretty outrageous, though.

 

That's a whole lot of wishful thinking...

 

Too bad it'll probably never happen.

[GMAN962]

^Then again, the reason that Busch keeps it's parks at the quality that they are at is most likely because of the fact that they only have two parks to keep and maintain. Also, probably cause they have more money.

well, i just got around to reading this thread. i have to say that this is awsome news. things are finally getting done at my favorite parks!

Count me in as a fan of Heinz ketchup. I'm not the kind of person who discriminates between them, but Hunts to me tastes like . . . something I don't like Maybe it's that they put too much vinegar in it. Oh yeah, I'll love Thomas land since that's my name!

Busch owns nine parks. Here's a list. (I'm linking to it because I'm two lazy to type it.)

[SharkTums]

Busch Gardens Tampa

Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Sea World Orlando

Sea World San Antonio

Sea World San Diego

Adventure Island

Water Country USA

Discovery Cove

Sesame Place

 

5-6 of these parks have roller coasters.

 

I would HATE to see Busch buy SFMM. It will only drag Busch down.

[the sound]

^ Busch is smart enough to drive away from former Six Flags parks. SFMM isn't well themed enough, nor enough time put into makeing the park look and feel outstanding.

[Freefallbestrideever]

Yay so i can buy my 2007 Xtreme pass now *turns off bulldozer*

I think this is great news for Magic Mountain. I think it'd be a mistake to overlook Busch buying Magic Mountain...Think about it! I mean really...a lot of work is done for them, they pretty much just have to clean the place up, repave the parking lot, etc...hell, for its first year, I'd be fine with that. The rest they'll take care of as the years go on when they can add On-Resort hotels and more "stay for the weekend" stuff...the place could be sparkling!

 

And outta complete curiousity...Anyone know what ever happened to the last pre-park opening at Magic Mountain? They musta lost my invitation in the mail or something...

[kraxleRIDAH]

^ Well, overlook it because it's been stated more than once or twice where a Busch Entertainment spokesperson commented that the company's vision and clientele do not align with what Magic Mountain is. Something about focusing on their current assetts and growing them rather than pick up a park that would require substantial amounts of funding to bring up to standard with the other properties and what they have to offer in reflection of the Anheuser Busch brand.
