Yay! Another megacorp to water down anything unique about these megaproperties!
- Not like six flags is a loss of anything
  
  They're joining and becoming 6 flags, which feels like it is a major loss.
- And it's like what's next, they're gonna be bought out by Disney?
  
  First they’ll buy King’s Dominion and Universal Studios, then they’ll open a super park in Florida’s natural rival: Washington.
  
  Then Dolly Parton will buy the new company and make it actually good.
Cedar Point has always been one of my favorite places in the world. I can't believe Cedar Fair fucked us all like this. This shouldn't be legal. There isn't even a competitor outside those 2 that can survive in the space. This can only mean higher prices and a worse experience across the board. What a fucking disappointment.

- Let's be honest when they acquired Kings Island it was down hill from there
  
  100% gotta keep Ohio fighting itself. That's law.
Dang, I really like Knotsberry Farm. Sounds like an end of an era.
- That's my read on this as well. Ignoring Disney parks, Knott's was the only major park in California with a unique feel. All Six Flags stuff feels the same, and for that, there are too many of them.
I forgot People was a magazine. I thought the headline was just oh you know people are saying it.
Lagoon: sweating profusely
- Found the only other Utahn around here.
