In this unscripted video, I acknowledge Six Flags has a long history. But the era ran under former chairman Dan Snyder is perhaps the most notable and hectic of all.

Sadly will be missed 😥😔. I remember the new ads as well. They were horrible and I changed the channel every time those came on. I hope one day they make a statue of Mr. Six at all entrances of all Six Flags around the world with the interactive iconic theme music as a tribute for everyone young and old to enjoy. 🙏

Money in a mattress is an ancient comedic trope. It’s generally supposed to represent people who don’t trust banks/stocks, etc. It probably dates back to the Great Depression when banks failed after the stock market crash.

About that Bob Iger comparison: Keep in mind that he's actually in his second run as Disney CEO after Bob Chapek was ousted as CEO after around 4 years due to bad decision after bad decision, with the final straw being him declaring that animation is only for kids and that they are making their live-action remakes for adults because "they want something for them". Iger initially retired from CEO and handed the position to Chapek, but the latter's tenure backfired and the position was handed back to the former.

Another thing with the Bob Iger part. Peltz wasn’t going after Igor’s position so of course he got a majority of the vote. To be honest the fact that Iger didn’t get 100% is alarming. Peltz got like 31% of the vote for the seat he was aiming for, which honestly isn’t bad with the mud slinging going around. I do know the media reported it as a blowout over 90%, but this was another example of showing the wrong numbers to make a situation look a certain way. Gotta love statistics. I also am going to say that it’s not Chapek’s fault entirely. This is because Iger really never left and was controlling everything. Even when he finally backed away for like 8 months everything put in place was previously approved by Iger including the bloated budgets on every project that has become a disaster zone. From overspending on Fox, to building the guardians coaster, to Disney+, to the movies put in theaters - all of it way over budget meaning Disney struggles to break even. I didn’t care for him, but Chapek is the fall guy for Iger’s legacy. As I have learned Disney is good at statistics and creative accounting.
@declanmckenna6854
@declanmckenna6854 Ай бұрын
Also during Chapek's tenure. Iger was still around and making all the decisions. His plan was to make Cheapek the fall-guy for all the poor decision he made during his first tenure (which would catch up to the company during Chapeak) and he'd swoop back in and "rescuce" the company. This failed massively as everything caught up to company way earlier and Iger's instance on alienating roughly 70% of Disney's audience in order to make a bid/connections for a political career dramatically tarnished Disney's repution (also the few decisions that Chapeak was actually able to sign off on have been the only semi-profitable/positively received things in recent years which greatly bruised Iger's fragile ego, the whole apeltz situation screams that Iger has a very fragile ego and needs to been seen as the the greatest and best CEO of all time who never made a bad decision or lost the company trillions and put the company in debt for the next 30 years to pay off several billions in loans)

The kids' make-over aspect does sound like a sound idea for a business, but maybe for older demographics than what the Wiggles would be targeting. And maybe not marketed as a hair salon, as sitting around waiting for your hair to get done doesn't sound like the most fun activity, even with wacky hair styles. I think something more along the lines of make-up, manicures, or temporary tattoos might be more appealing. If you wanted to give kids wacky hair styles, you can always offer them wigs that they can style however they want.

Kiernan Burke was the President of Premier Parks, which purchased Six Flags in 1998, not 1989. While Burke was responsible for building some of great coasters Six Flags has today, he was also responsible for the awful, horrible parks operations which Six Flags is now known for. He destroyed Six Flags’s reputation.

Something else I remember from that era was all the advertising everywhere - originally just stuff like posters around the parks (stuff like Schwarzkopf hair care products - sometimes right next to a Schwarzkopf ride), as well as those ugly wraps for the coaster trains. At least with Disney, the ride sponsorships were more subtle and were often actually integrated into the ride somehow

@OklahomaCoasterFan

Yes, same effect. Season passholders, still today, must get a handstamp for reentry. So during a "no reentry" timeframe, usually only Fright Fest at night, that applies to season passholders. During other times, you would think that the picture tied to our pass would allow for reentry by scanning the pass again, but for whatever reason, that's not the case. One scan per day, hard rule, must get a handstamp before leaving for reentry.

A couple things about the New England parking. The sidewalk did not exist when the parking issue first started. Visitors would park in someone's yard or business, cross the street and sometimes have to cross back to go over the pedestrian bridge. Either way a lot of people walking on the main road, we all were all thinking it was just a matter of time before someone got hit. Also, if the town banned residents from charging people to park on their property, it would have also applied to people who do this every September when The Big E comes around. The Big E is the largest fair in the northeast, tons of traffic for 3 weeks. Residents who get to cash in on the traffic blocking their streets did not want to lose that.

The only thing I liked about Snyder as CEO was that the parks were completely empty. I remember visiting SFGA around 2007-08 and got there at opening time at 10am. Got on every roller coaster (around 10-12 at the time) by 1pm, then decided to ride all of them again front row and finished by 5pm. We got out at 6pm riding everything including tea cups, condor and those small rides that weren't roller coasters. We decided to eat dinner outside SFGA instead of paying a lot in the park.

I love roller coasters but I've never been on a big one. I think the biggest one I've been on is The Fly at Canada's Wonderland. I'm afraid of the big drops and I also worry about throwing up. I don't have severe motion sickness like others but prolonged road trips (2-3 hrs) start to make my stomach hurt, especially when I'm looking at screens. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do to overcome this fear that would be great.

My brother experienced exactly what you are explaining. I feel like slowly stepping up from smaller to larger rides would be the best bet. once you get to the larger rides, my only piece of advice is to just do it! I remember when I was a new enthusiast I was deathly afraid of the larger rides (specifically due to the stomach dropping feeling). one visit me and a friend just decided to just sent it on behemoth at CW. that was the best experience on a coaster I have had to date and found out the at the stomach dropping feeling is not worse than some of the family coaster I have ridden. If I were to suggest a list of coaster at Canada's wonderland to work you way up here's what they would be: - The Fly - Backlot stunt coaster - dragon fire - Behemoth or Yukon striker ( Yukon's drop might be intimidating but its a lot more tame than you think) Ps. For long trips try to take a break from reading a book or looking at a device. try to look out a window (it helps a lot)

I was petrified of the big drops for the longest time, just looking at a coaster made me panic. the way i got over it won't work for everyone, but i told two friends of mine that i trusted to force me onto a big one on our next trip, and they weren't allowed to let me talk them out of it. i was a MESS when i sat down and got buckled in but it was worth it. now i'll ride anything. i hope you find the right approach to tackle your fear because they are a lot of fun, but it's alright if that doesn't happen. Funny enough, my proneness to motion sickness actually lessened a lot after I started riding coasters. i recommend starting with the smoother ones so you don't get any headbanging or whiplash that could aggravate it, and then if there are ones you want to try that are known to be a bit rough you'll hopefully have some tolerance built.

I think the salon idea would have been significantly more profitable if they put the salons inside of the parks themselves and provided free parking and early entry/ERT to those purchasing a hair cut. It would be an amazing idea to bring a kid on their birthday, give them a haircut they like, and then let them lap whatever coaster they want for an hour. I think if they charged something like $100-$120 these days plenty of people would go for it. I think it should be an all-ages salon though.

Since six flags isn’t really immersive in ride queues much it kinda made sense and gave an illusion that six flags had money and really cared about their parks and the people there. They were a bit bland and odd at times but not the worst thing ever added.

I’ve heard of corporate executives making some weird decisions for their companies, but this list takes the cake! I mean, the hair salon? Who else on the board thought that would be a winner? 😂

No wonder they had no money in the late 00s early 10s .. they were making the worst marketing and financial decisions possible

They still did it in the early 20's also, Selim Bassoul said no new rides until Fiesta announced a Skyline P'Sghetti Bowl in December 2022. SFOG did the same thing also but only a month after Fiesta.

From 2006 to 2008 I danced at Six Flags magic Mountain and I do remember those video clips matter fact the gentleman it’s in that video clip is someone I worked with who is also a performer at various times but also stepped into leadership. I had totally forgotten all about those clips until seeing this video.

It looks to me like snyder had a specific agenda that didn't serve the best interests of the company and he and his posse did a hit job on burke and muscled their way into position in order to carry out their agenda.

The idea of hiding money in/under a mattress existed LONG before Steven Hillenburg (creator of SpongeBob) was even born.

I get that Six Flags was a well known brand name at that time, but with the concerns about the park’s policies and safety issues themselves, turning the brand into a product that it was never intended for feels like a slap in the face to Angus G Wynne.

I can't imagine what would SFGAdv would look like if El Toro was scrapped during mid construction. There would be no "best wooden coaster in the world" if that actually happened in a alternate universe.
