NEW YORK (AP) — Six Flags Inc. said it could not meet a looming financing obligation and may have to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, sending its shares to an all-time low Friday.....


All I gotta say IS GOOD BYE. YAAAA. I never did like them. The one here is a JOKE. Rides are always broken and such. Not worth it.

Sell the parks to the chinese. Their looking for investments. They'll probably turn them into decent parks anyway.

Six Flags has sold many of those [smaller, regional] parks and worked on revamping those that remained to lure families and discourage attendance by cash-poor teens.

Hahaha, so teens are no longer members of families are they?

The Chinese are just as badly hit as the rest of us, maybe more so. China depends on the West to demand their manufactured goods, and right now, we've stopped.

I read an article just a few days ago, about how the Chinese are looking for property investments. I don't care to argue the point. So read it for yourself.

Anyway, on a simular note, more in line with the topic...

Cedar Fair, the third-largest amusement park chain in North America, said Monday that it will try to sell off four of its parks, one of which has closed. The announcement came as fears grew that Cedar Fair rival Six Flags Inc. might have to file for bankruptcy.

I don't care to argue the point either. But investing in property is entirely different to investing in businesses that are filing for bankruptcy.

Could this mean that Six Flags
is going six feet under?
I doubt that Bugs Bunny
can pull this out of the hat.

DUDE!

I went to Six Flags Saint Louis yesterday... We dropped enough pennies off of the top of Mr. Freeze to buy us some Six Flags stocks.

Oh well, it was too late.

I knew this would happen soon. I've only visited one of their parks in my life and it wasn't the best, but I wanted to visit the better ones like SFMM, SFOT, and SFOG. Either way, R.I.P. Six Flags.
