The Strange Early Announcement Season

This felt like an end of summer episode with so many parks making announcements so early in the summer. We cover the announcements, recent visits to Disneyland, Six Flags and Lost Island and try to figure out why parks are closing.

Six Flags Sells 7 Parks – Quick Reaction Show

Quick reaction show about Six Flags selling seven parks to EPR Properties and being managed by Enchanted Parks and former Six Flags CEO. Will Valleyfair get a new coaster? Magic coming to Michigan’s Adventure? Worlds of Fun becoming an immersive destination?

Who wants to buy a park?

Lots of talk about the Six Flags and Sea… we mean United Parks results. What will the future look like and what parks could be sold. Come for the hot takes on what parks we say to sell. Stay for the bad takes by Hyde on saying a certain chain won’t buy any more parks just hours before they announce they bought another park (we recorded this the night before Herschend bought Silverwood).

It’s A Good Day To Be Me

Would Yankees fans want to ride a roller coaster overlooking Fenway Park? That plus more brass ring carousel talk than ever been talked about on any podcast ever (and that’s just a few minutes). A special guest joins at the end to take a literal victory lap.

At least Six Flags didn’t get scammed by God
