Great video! Its hard to predict the amusement park industry. You did great with what you knew. I really enjoyed watching this!

[@michaelbianco32]

Buy or Sell: Superman at Magic Mountain is another merger casualty, but not until after the 2026 coaster so the park can retain the 20 coaster record. Remains SBNO until then.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

In some ways, I can see that happening after what they did to Flashback in 2003 before being demolished in 2007.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

The humor here is off the walls, never stop lol Buy or Sell: Six Flags Great America's next coaster is a family launch coaster

Chris, Now it's official:Nighthawk at Carowinds is being removed. I think it was mentioned on one Buy or Sell video (about being removed).

[@teapage101-x3v]

No😢

[@The8BitNerd]

Well, now there’s only one Dutchman left.

[@katherinezimmerman6997]

I’ll use this opportunity to re-up my request for Buy or Sell: the Flying Dutchman model will be extinct in five years.

[@Westkid3057]

​@The8BitNerd I'm willing to bet Batwing won't be around much longer. They could send over Nighthawk's parts and what's left of Firehawk, but FH's parts just sat there, so who knows what happened

[@markvolpe2305]

And the enterprise and Drop tower are going down with it.

[@caden8438]

you were actually correct about herschend investing in wild adventures. in september they announced water's edge boardwalk expansion. it will include new rides (no coasters), a show stage, eateries, games, and more. last month they also just opened their new safari campground.

[@Thicc_father_thanos]

They've also spent quite a bit on the Christmas event

[@TravisBeaves]

Buy or sell: after the nighthawk retirement batwing will also be removed by at latest 2026 in the Six Flags Purge

[@WhatAG23]

I would be so salty. My parents cancelled our trip to the park in 2018.

[@TaipanWrangler]

Buy or Sell: The exact opposite of this happens and they run Batwing until they run out of flying dutchman parts

[@TravisBeaves]

@@TaipanWrangler imma sell

[@TaipanWrangler]

@TravisBeaves Anything that leads you to say that? Beggars can't be choosers, they have spare parts and a decent ride in a bottom tier park, basically just keep the GP happy with Batwing staying. Just my idea

[@TravisBeaves]

SFA is in a high pop area between dc and baltimore and this is an unreliable bad capacity ride which isnt the smoothest and the new and old SF chain has done stuff like this with nighthawk getting the new water ride great escape with bobcat and over texas with the dive going in also the chain seems to be giving some love at least more than before to the smaller parks

Buy Or Sell: Epic Universe will contribute to a turning point in which parks compete on the basis of increasingly-Universal themes (nature, stewardship, commonality, and timeless indigenous true history) instead of individual superlatives (aka the coaster wars) encompassing fictional backstories and adverse long-range environmental impacts.

[@MattMcIrvin]

I was the one who made the unlikely guess about SFNE getting a Powersplash. Like most enthusiasts, I was thinking in terms of ripping out Flashback and putting in something long and skinny in the combined plot, so it was "what's long and skinny?" Later on I was thinking maybe a Super Boomerang, but that was predicated on the one at Great Adventure opening up in a timely manner and being a success. Obviously, they chose to not rip out Flashback at all and put something compact in the Goliath space.

[@IAmJeebus]

Here's the thing about the American Heartland park: it's an hour away from NW Arkansas, which is home to Walmart, JB Hunt, Tyson... I think that's why it's getting built where it is. I'm honestly surprised Bentonville isn't getting a theme park. So, I guess, Buy or sell: Bentonville, Arkansas gets some sort of theme park by 2035.

[@stephanchretien9045]

Buy or sell, Six Flags don’t sell La Ronde to another chain because it’s always jam packed and super profitable, despite little to no investment

[@arturobianco848]

Well it depends on what they are going to replace Ka with if it is desasterous mistake. Yes it does attract some visitors but how many of them won't come if its gone compaired to how many will come if a new big ride opens. Also it was a bit of a maintannace nightmare so from that perspective it makes sence to scrap it. Now if they can start building (well demolishing it first is part of building the new one) early enough to have the new coaster a seizone earlier i can understand them pulling the plug now but i think it would have made more sence in announcing it would be gone after the next seizone.

[@Giraffecon]

Buy or sell, if quantum accelerator goes well for sfne it we see better investment in the next few years

[@MattMcIrvin]

Sell. Six Flags New England's only competition in the region is a ragtag collection of much smaller parks, whose advantage is that they're closer to the clientele and arguably have more of a family atmosphere. The company can ignore it for long periods of time without hurting it much, so they probably will. What I think it actually needs now is not a coaster but a major dark ride with some family appeal, which several of those smaller parks actually have! But I doubt that's coming any time soon.

[@X_Canine]

buy or sell: Carowinds will start to get looked at more in the cedar fair/six flags chain since they’re investing $1B
