Buy or Sell: With the merger, Magic Mountain will get theme/atmosphere upgrades but will get less coasters with competition in Cedar Point and King's Island
I think Magic Mountain will either get built up further or get sold. It depends on how desperate the new company is to sell assets. Magic Mountain does not compete in the same market as Kings Island or Cedar Point so that really won't have anything to do with it. If the new company begins to expand the parks, that won't happen quickly.
Magic Mountain is on some very valuable real estate and Six Flags almost sold it previously out of desperation. I doubt that will happen but it certainly could. But if the new company weathers the storm they'l probably want Magic Mountain to get a bigger chunk of the southern California market. But I doubt that would mean a ton of new coasters but probably it would get a bunch of park improvements to really clean it up to look more like a place like Kings Island.
They’ll make it so that Cedar Point and Magic Mountain have the same number of coasters. That way they can market both parks as having the most roller coasters in the world.
100% agree. There's no way they can keep Ninja and Superman open much longer. Mm is going to lose its title. The top of mountain seems to only be open for Fright Fest.
@@zacg_ SFMM being sold isn't a possibility, you're talking about six flags' flagship park and even with the merger you're still talking 1 of the top 3. not to mention its gonna be the park that brings in the most money since its open all year. It will get quality upgrades but coasters are its main draw and that wont change. They have their well themed park in Knotts, SFMM is the coaster park. Just improve the image and keep doing what makes you a destination park
Sell. I think it will be like the "Cedar Point of the West Coast"
The Super Boomerang is a natural fit for Six Flags because it runs with 1 train ops
You know you gotta point. It’s not like they would use the second train anyway
But Great Adventure though? I hope that after the first year and they see how bad 1 train operation is they get a turn table for it.
Yeah cheaper maintenance cost!
SFOG could use one if they want it to pay a tribute to their old Deja Vu boomerang coaster
I'm selling the Vekoma Super Boomerang being cloned all over Six Flags. Cedar Fair doesn't typically put clones everywhere as far as I know. Doesnt the merger put CF management in charge?
I think the parks will operate as usual, just with one shared stock
Exactly what I'm thinking.
I could non-clones popping up though
@@BurgerInATux The reason SF wanted this merger and actually need it as they are floundering as their management has been horrible for decades. SF financial results have been poor for years, even as other chains were producing post pandemic records SF was going to 2017 levels of financials. There is no point of the merger from the SF perspective, if they are going to keep doing the same failed stuff. SF wanted to do premiumization and they failed at it with Selim. CF has actually done premiumization the last decade successfully and that's what will be implemented at the top 6 or so SF parks.
CF owns 1 more percent then six flags, but the board is being made up of 6 people from six flags and 6 from Cedar fair
Who would’ve thought that czs world was a coaster enthusiast
8:07 When you asked who in the US might buy a Jinma coaster, my first thought was Lost Island Theme Park.
Buy or Sell: we will never see a coaster break Falcon's Flight height and length records in any of our lifetimes
Way to go out on a limb lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you're stupid af. Hey buy or sell you're stupid ass won't procreate lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
buy if your talking about in the us, sell if your talking about anywhere else. there's definitely a country out there who would want to have their own "six flags qiddiya" & if it makes a profit then theres no reason to not do it
and yet we dont seem very close to anyone breaking the burj khalifa's record which i would've though would happen by now@@prawpuh
Sell
@@thebe_stone i’m kinda 50/50 on it. feels such a complete outlier to everything
In regards to Pandemonium at Fiesta Texas...
Jeffrey Siebert was just on a podcast talking about why Dr Diabolical wasnt on the quarry walls.
He said they have other plans for the back quarry wall so take that as you will
link for the podcast ep?
@Someone-wd4cu Its the Drunk Riders. It has Jeffrey Siebert in the title
@@Posirep ah thank you
Buy or sell: After the merger, RMC makes a comeback in cedar fair parks and Michigan’s adventures newest coaster is a RMC wolverine wildcat.
RMC Comeback: buy
RMC Wolverine Wildcat: sell but they get a raptor
Considering that Wolverine Wildcat has some Titan track on it, I find an RMC treatment unlikely.
Buying the comeback but the coaster to get rmcd will be hurler
I’ve been saying it for years but the last time I rode Wolverine it had some ok sections so I’m with the raptor guy
Buy or Sell: With the New Cedar Fair and Six flags Merger, Six flags parks will start working with Gerstlauer and Cedar fair parks will be working with RMC again
Buy or Sell: After the merger California's Great America will end up closing sooner due to the chain having two parks in one metro area
two park in one metro area? I don't see that happening. 1. CGA and SFDK are 1 and half hours away from each 2. CGA is around Silicon Valley and Six Flags DK is around northern bay area and Sacramento 3. Saying that parks right next to each other will close is like saying that Knott's berry farm will close because of Six flags Magic Mountain
Buy or Sell
1. A Vekoma Giga will be planned by 2033 anywhere around the world
2. If the Vekoma Giga becomes a thing, it will be better than the intamin giga
(Just choose the one you like)
Buy both
Ok, tbh for to intamin, the two traditional gigas are somewhat older now, a modern gen intamin giga would be interesting to see
(and nothing can beat i305s positive feast )
Can see a verkoma giant at darien lake if they keep the park
Buy or Sell: The new Six Flags builds Great Adventure up as a multi-day destination in the style of Cedar Point/Knott’s, or even bigger than that.
This would do wonders for the park if they do this. My family would probably visit it more too.
I wouldn't be surprised if Gold Coaster at Dreamworld is one of the last Arrow's around as well. It runs pretty well, minimal maintenance issues and had new Vekoma trains in 2015. The way the waterpark is built around it, I'd say it's got another 10-15 years in it.
Buy or Sell: Certain coasters in the Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks will have their names and themes changed due to the merger. (Example: Flight Deck at CW gets new age Vekoma trains and becomes Batman the Ride.)
Buy or sell : La ronde gets a new coaster because when the park went up for sale in the 90 , cedar fair had originally wanted to aquire the park , now that they have it in their chaine
I'm selling the Falcon's Flight prompt entirely because I'm skeptical that it actually gets built to begin with. Aside from all the potential headaches from building a coaster that size, Saudi Arabia has a bit of a reputation for leaving megaprojects unfinished.
Pass by Qiddiya regularly. It is definitely being built along with other significant projects.
It's being built now but that in no way means it'll be finished or actually open
Buy or sell: Despite the wishes of coaster enthusiasts, Dollywood doesn’t get a hyper until at least 2030 and sticks to family style coasters…maybe an indoor
Buy or sell: Busch gardens Tampa will change up the central area, either closing by scorpion, adding an attraction in the Pantopian theater, or a new stand out coaster in addition to the new ride.
So BGT is my home park. I'm not going to say buy/sell on this one, but I think after Phoenix Rising, they take a year off (to avoid trying to outshine Epic Universe), then we get the Giga. I'm honestly surprised that Pantopia Theater wasn't demolished to make Phoenix Rising longer because they do not use that building much. I don't think Scorpion is going anywhere since it does pretty well with the GP but if they do get rid of it, it opens up a lot of land if they extend beyond Scorpion's current plot
Buy or Sell: After the merger, Six Flags will acquire at least one major indy park within 5 years.
Buy or Sell: Cedar Point regrets it's choice of Zamperla for the reimagining of Top Thrill Dragster.
I don't know if they will... but I do. lol
I am sure I'll be disappointed in it. I hope I'm wrong though.
Viper stays forever with a retrack its too iconic
Great video! I really enjoyed watching! A B & M Dive Coaster at Kings Island would be very cool!
Buy or sell: for the next few years we see very few major additions across the mega chain and only see cheap additions as they try to pay off their debt
Been here since the beginning of this series and it's just as interesting to see people's ideas and your takes! Thank you for the content man, keep it up! :D
BUY OR SELL: build the first T-Rex coaster model and it will be built in Hershey Park! Love your videos!!!
I should re phrase this RMC will build the first ever T-Rex model will be announced and built in 2025 at Hershey Park and LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!
A t-Rex at Hershey would be a game changer! 😮
Buy or Sell: Sea World continues to heavily invest in coasters, and in turn leads to the Busch Gardens parks dominating their respective regions
With the prevalence of Chinese products in the United States, over the past couple of decades, I’m actually a little bit surprised that we have not seen a coaster from China so far besides the one kitty coaster that opened in the Midwest
Small, menial consumer things come from China. Cars, equipment, or anything people moving like I feel we would never let China make.
Falcon's Flight maintenance team "I don't like sand, it's coarse and rough and irritating and it get everywhere..."
I could see discovery kingdom get something on par with ki or what holiday world is building next year
Agree.....The World Cup is absolutely irrelevant to theme parks Major Capex. They do not make significant Capex decisions based on 3 games being played in a city over at most 1 week. Out of town visitors will go possibly if they market, as outlined in the video
I kinda doubt parks like Six Flags, Worlds of Fun, or Fun Spot are going to be destinations for very many World Cup travelers. Disney/Universal might be another story for people in Socal, but even there it's the parks themselves that are the attraction, adding a new coaster isn't gonna do anything
I wouldn't be so sure. People will be travelling to these cities to see their teams, and will look for entertainment before and after the game
Saudi Arabia has more dinar than cents. When I first saw the news about Falcon's Flight, I thought it was like someone designed it in a rollercoaster game and sent the save file to Intamin. It will be a maintenance nightmare because of the scope of it.
Buy or Sell:
Knoebels gets an RMC Raptor.
Hershey Park gets a coaster similar to Big Bear Mountain or a wing coaster in Chocolate Town.
Buy or Sell: Xcelerator will be reimagined in the next 5 years
Buy or Sell: With the merger of Six Flags & Cedar Fair, we will see them work again with Intamin, and Gerstlauer.
Buy or sell: Cedar point replaces Magnum and/or Gemini within the next ten years.
Buy or Sell: With the merger, Six Flags and Cedar Fair will consider what parks to keep and which ones to sell off.
Buy Or Sell: The merger will give enough ideas and coverage for Theme Park Crazy to talk about that he might finally start posting 2 videos a month rather then his 1 that he does every other month
Bahaha oh Peter...
Oh 1 thing i'd like to add about Zambezi Zinger...... It was a MAINTENANCE NIGHTMARE and that ride broke down every day. It'll be up for about an hour, then go down then go up again and be fine for about another 2-3 hours then go down again, yeah it was a nightmare, even during the morning testing when we had to test the block brake it went down too. Trust me i worked there for the 50th anniversary of WOF it was a nightmare for me as well.
Buy or Sell: With the merger of Six Flags and Cedar Fair, will half(or more) of the parks in the chain have a Giga by 2030?
I quite agree with this one, magic mountain, Darien Lake, etc have space for one
NOT A CHANCE. There are few parks that have the finances to support the Capex for a giga and get a good ROI. The ones that can already have them in CF chain except Knotts b/c of space. Only 2 SF parks can support a giga MM and GAdv
Buy or sell: Parks on Australia's gold coast will continue to receive upgrades and attractions following the several new additions to parks like Movie World, Seaworld & Dreamworld, and will become a major destination for enthusiasts
Depends if you consider Nobel rides to be Jinma, they are a Swedish subsidiary of the parent company and they are said to be building the new coaster at The Oasis at Lakeport (Ozarks). Soon it will be right in your backyard lol 😂
Buy or sell Canadas wonderland gets a top tier coaster in 2025
RUSHcoaster baybeeee
8:45 So many parks would really enjoy this; Magic Mountain too, have no spinning coasters and Ninja is the only thrilling family coaster and is usually down, Gold Rusher is the only other family coaster.
I think a King Cobra themed Surf is the most likely B&M for KI.
Buy or Sell: By 2030 Steel Vengeance will receive steel supports to aid the structure
Buy or Sell: Some of the smaller Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks in high value areas will get relocated rides from parks they choose to sell or close.
Buy or sell : Because of the Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger - Great Adventure will get a world class coaster within the next 5 years
Buy or sell
1. Cedar Point will remove Corkscrew before adding their next major coaster.
2. Cedar Point's next coaster will be a clone of a six flags coaster (only bigger and better of course)...
Thank you for doing this series! I love it!
1. Buy
2. sell
Buy or Sell: An American park will announce that a full size axis coaster is being built before 2025
Buy or Sell: Kings Island's next coaster will not be a B&M. It's going to be a launched coaster. They havent introduced any since before CF even took over. FoF is from 1996 and Backlot Stunt Coaster came out in 2005. They're overdue, and nearby parks Indiana Beach and Kentucky Kingdom don't have any. And Holiday World only has Thunderbird. The next closest would be CP, and I don't think launched coasters are a competition threat between CP and KI.
I'll take it a step further. Maybe this won't happen for the NEXT coaster, but KI will be removing the ampitheatre and Invertigo (possibly remove/relocate Congo Falls) for a new front gate coaster. Invertigo is the last of the inverted boomerangs I believe, I don't see it staying for a decade longer. Despite how much I like it. Maybe the station is where Son of Beast is, and it's a winding layout to the front. There's room and it'd give some love to Action Zone again
How about an update to your "Where could CGA coasters go?" video that includes the Six Flags parks?
I'm skeptical about Falcons Flight. It looks cool but the maintenance costs would be a real nightmare. I guess we will see what happens. Canada's Wonderland is getting a B&M Wing Launch Coaster In 2025. Think construction will start at the end of the year so I'm excited.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Buy or sell: Carowinds and Dollywood will get a Vekoma family boomerang as their next coaster
8:03 So some new park opening up in like, Missouri was gonna have two Jinma coasters sold to them by their Swiss subsidiary, Noble Rides. I think the park has not done that or something but it’s still possible something like this happens
But or sell: Knott’s adds a B&M before 2030
Buy or Sell: After Kings dominions wings coaster in 2025, we will see anacondas removal within the three years after
Buy or Sell: with the merger, we see Hanna Barbara back at kings island. Not sure if six flags just has deal for DC and Looney Toons or with WB as a whole.
Only DC and Looney Tunes. They used to have others, but not anymore.
Buy or sell, apart from B and M the next manufacturer to build a giga will be Mack
Buy or Sell : A Six flags Park gets the first rmc single rail in the US since Jersey devil
Buy or Sell: Vekoma hypers will become popular in Six flags/ Cedar Fair parks
Buy or sell: the Mack Stryker model will end up replacing the Mack multi launch
Buy or sell: lagoon will get a major coaster by 2030
Buy or sell: The Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger will result in many cloned coasters in the Six Flags parks being removed.
Stupid merger imo
Buy or Sell: Six Flags America doesn't survive the Cedar Fair/Six Flags merger
I will say that SFOT has been struggling with Mr.freeze recently. This season alone it's valleyed more than 4 times already. It's also been a bad season for OT where it's always a walk on. They even had to limit how they run it due to power concerns. I personally don't see it lasting much longer with the merger in place. Cedar fair loves to get rid of unreliable rides.
Six flags has stated they want to replace old unreliable rides with new high-tech ones
ERCOT (company in charge of the Texas grid) sucks.
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv they really do
@christopherfinch-mccollum1753 yep and that just backs up my statement. My friend has a lot of connections with the freeze crew and they've stated themselves the ride has only got a couple more years from what they've heard from the headquarters
Buy or Sell: Another competing park in the Middle East will attempt to break Falcon's Flight's height record.
Buy or Sell: There will be a new Mack Extreme Spinner in the next 5 years.
Buy or Sell: SDC's next coaster after FITH will be a Hyper/Giga.
BUY OR SELL: A local coaster war breaks out in Southern California ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics.
Similar to the World Cup question but more specific.
Hollywood Dorft is incoming and parks around here need to try and beat it!
Buy or Sell: There will be no dives in 5 years after Iron Menace
Buy or Sell: B&M family coasters will bcome more common (hear me out: B&M probably realised all the parks they work with no longer need a major thrill for them, so they began promoting their family coasters more in order to hold on to their customers)
Agree that parks would tailor live entertainment and dining to the World Cup, but not necessarily add a new coaster. That said, 2026 would probably still be good years for Knott's or Magic Mountain, Fun Spot Atlanta, Hersheypark, Canada's Wonderland, Six Flags Mexico, or SFNE (if the Goliath / Flashback replacement is delayed) to get a major new addition. Over Texas might want to replace La Vibora with a Gravitykraft woodie around then to compete with the Universal park as well. The Vekoma Super Boomerang will probably be a capacity nightmare for Great Adventure, but they'll capitalize off Flash Pass sales as long as guests are willing to pay for them.
Buy or Sell: like video game console exclusives, will we ever see a coaster maker enter into timed exclusive or fully exclusive agreements w one of the big 3 (universal/disney/six) to drive attendance to the parks, unique exclusive, ride types? For example, if Six Flags and RMC entered into an IBox exclusive (ride type or full patent catalogue) agreement for 10 years to differentiate between universal Disney and the smaller independent theme parks?
I'm selling that, at least for Disney or Universal. The types of rides they build tend to be so expensive that the vast majority of park operators wouldn't be able to afford to build the same types of things anyway.
Buy or sell: Rougarou will get the axe at cedar point as it is the least popular major thrill coaster and takes up a good chunk of land. Their next major coaster will be in its spot.
Buy or sell: With the merger a few of the parks will be sold or transferred to other management
that's a good question.
Buy or Sell: Six Flags Great America will get a RMC T-REX for their 50th anniversary
Buy or Sell: Dynamic Attractions becomes the next new big rollercoaster manufacturer (excluding Zamperla, because I count them as large enough already) with their SFX coaster and compact LSM coaster models
Buy or sell: Nighthawk at Carowinds will be removed and would be replaced by a B&M Flyer within the next 4 years
Buy or sell: Cedar point does not add a B&M before 2030
Dispatching 8 times in one hour seems like a MASSIVE problem. That’s ridiculously bad. I’m pretty sure even when I rode Demon with VR it might have done more than that.
Buy or sell: Fun Spot Atlanta opens another major coaster (either an RMC Raptor or a GCI woodie) by 2030.
Buy or Sell: Valleyfair will get a roller coaster within the next 5 years
Buy Or Sell: A major coaster manufacturer goes bankrupt by 2030
Dynamic Attractions already has😢
Buy or Sell: Coast Rider at knotts will be removed and replaced with railblazer
2 things:
buy or sell: by 2035 a major six flags park gets a giga
for a by the numbers video you should do the funspot parks
Buy or Sell: Six Flags sells its lease to La Ronde in the next 10 years
8:12 My friend and I were joking that Mt. Olympus would get a Jinma.
Not buy or sell, but video idea: One big by the numbers video where you combine every roller coaster or 100 coasters from each manufacturer and take those stats and make a by the numbers
But Or Sell: With the merger Carowinds will be the new Cedar Point
Buy or sell: The Cedar Fair and Six Flags Merger will result in RMC’s and Intamin’s at Cedar Fair parks.
Buy or Sell: Something keeps the Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger from being finalized.
-Kyle
I feel like the B&M dive coasters will be the new bat man clones of this era. They’re popping up everywhere.
Buy or Sell: The vekoma boomerang will have 2 trains so they can load and unload faster so they don't have a really long line kinda like what Mr. Freeze has at SFSL & SFOT.
Jinma might have a shot at say, Circus Circus Adventure Dome and Buffalo Bills if they decide to replace Desperado.
Buy or Sell : Buy 2030 all new intamin coasters get lap bars instead of over the shoulder restraints
Buy or Sell: The Six Flags Parks will all get their names changed to coincide with the merger. Example: "Great Adventure: A Six Flags Park"
So similar to La Ronde, Great Escape, and Frontier City.
@@DoswarePictures yeah pretty much
Buy or Sell: Busch Gardens Tampa will add an intamin or vekoma launched coaster, putting it by the new Serengeti Flyer in the old Rhino Rally plot of land.
Buy or sell: Top thrill 2 will be successful and we will see more hydraulic launch conversions from zamperla
Buy or Sell: Following the merger, since Cedar Fair owns all gigas in North America, both Magic Mountain and Great Adventure will get gigas within the coming years
I swear they will ruin superman at New England
Buy or sell : with the merger between cedar and flags we will see a overall improvement in the 6-flags parks while we see little change in the cedar fair parks.
Buy or Sell: If Fury 325 doesn’t win best steel coaster at the GTAs next year, Velocicoaster will.
