Latest Rumors/Current Happenings - Construction on the hotel, and feature parking structure has resumed. The water park is still planned to be delayed until the hotel is near completion. A name is still being decided. The park has also announced that Desperado will be in its last year of operation. After this season, it will be removed completely because of operation costs, and the unstable island that houses half of the ride. No word on the replacement.

Sunset Farms Buys remaining stake on Sunset Heights, and Sunset Lake

 

April 1, 1998

 

Sunset Farms (NYSE: SUF) has finalized a definite agreement with Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) to buy the remaining 50% of Six Flags Sunset Heights, the largest theme park in Utah, and Six Flags Sunset Lake, the largest theme park Virgina for $600 million from Time Warner and Boston Ventures.

 

As part of the transaction, the companies will enter into a long-term licensing agreement that gives Sunset Farms the exclusive theme park rights in the U.S. and Canada for all Warner Bros. and DC Comics, animated cartoon and comic book characters.

 

The transaction is expected to close in the next two months.

 

New platform: "With our single business focus, proven operating expertise and the combined strengths of the Six Flags and Looney Toons brands, we believe this transaction gives us an excellent platform for generating superior growth throughout our new and existing franchise," says Rctfan123, current president of Sunset Farms.

 

Prior to the acquisition, Sunset Farms owned 50% of both Six Flags Sunset Heights, and Sunset Lake with combined revenues of approx. $250 million each year.

 

A look in the Future: "Over the past two years we have been able to expand these parks with additions such as Viper opening this year at Sunset Lake, and Looney Toon's Great Escape at Sunset Heights. The current plan for these two parks are in place, with a Vertical Drop, and Desperado's Revenge both planned to open at the start of the millennium."

 

Note: Park Updates will be slow until the end of November because of College Apps.
