    • Unless we've been wrong or lied to all along it's been said STL is a profitable park. That should plant it in #2.  Obviously if it actually doesn't print money it's in group 3.
    • Honestly, I see category 3 being the most likely, but 2 is possible as well.  SFStL didn't get a new attraction survey, right?
    • And just where does Six Flags St. Louis fit in all that. My guess would be number 2.
    • Having read through the transcript of the call, and reviewed the slides, it sounds like there's more than just "good" and "bad" parks in their eyes The "core," high-performing parks that have been seeing investment and will continue to do so. The "core," low-performing parks that they're going to try investing in, and if it doesn't make it into a high-performing park, the category will change. The "non-core," low-performing parks that may be salvageable into profitable parks. The "non-core", low-performing parks that are on the immediate chopping block if they can't get their act together. The "non-core" parks that are already officially slated for closure (SFA, CGA). Based on what Zimmerman and the other guy said, it sounds like there's a bit of fluidity and movement possible between types 2, 3, and 4.
    • Only investing in already humming along properties sounds like a recipe for a company to have zero growth. I don't have an MBA or anything but that seems like a dumb plan if you're trying to grow your numbers.
    • Earnings call today was terrible - another bad quarter. The company's goal now is to get smaller as soon as possible and only invest in parks that get visited the most and bring strong profit to the company. Looks like STL will be on the "crap we can't buy anything list" 
    • There's plan A, plan B and then "oh crap we can't buy anything".
    • Again things can be "planned" and then for whatever reason not come to fruition. So both things could be true; that there are 5 year plans AND that they won't all happen.
    • And I get all that, but to be fair I don't think it is so much we are flat out lying to you as much as plans and executing those plans are not always sympatico. While something like the sign is annoying to many of us, I guarantee you if you asked people in the park about it on any given day 90% of them wouldn't have even noticed but will be aware of improvements/problems inside the park. Not an excuse, the sign should be fixed, but perhaps an explanation on priorities. No rose colored glasses here though, I am well aware these things may or may not happen. As I said, just staying positive.
    • Sure do wish they'd say when they expect to open. I'm trying to plan a spring break trip and this would be perfect!
    • Hey y'all, I'm making spring break plans and flights to Mexico are insane. Dollywood opens the week my kids (8,6,3) will be out of school so I figured might as well drive 14 hours and check out it! My questions are how is spring break time crowd wise? We're looking at staying at a Dollywood hotel to take advantage of the perks if it's worth it. Any recommendations on hotel or other things to do in the area? Thanks 
    • I'm not counting out Superman.  It still has a chance at being moved within the chain or to a different park.
