Thanks for bringing this up, Locoboy! As someone whose Six Flags park is the one in Georgia...and over the years watch then gut our 2 steamers and turn them into diesel outlines to having #3 first catch on fire and then later derail and now it rots out back of the engine house... I would be VERY concerned for any steam trains in the new company's system.

You're welcome! After so many years of being a roller coaster enthusiast, I have learned to be EXTREMELY leery whenever a park has been "Flagged." Us coaster enthusiasts have been through the ringer all too often, courtesy of Six Flags. (Though to be perfectly honest, Cedar Fair does have a huge blemish on their record too with Geauga Lake.) This may just be me but I never trust anything that Six Flags announces to the public.

The one saving grace in this Cedar Fair/Six Flags merger is that Cedar Fair makes up 51% of the new company. That is not much of a majority but I guess that it is better than being in the minority. I did not think that it was a good sign when the new company's name only had the words "Six" and "Flags" in it and the words "Cedar" and "Fair" were nowhere to be seen. All that was included from the "good guys" in the new logo was a little red flag and the blue font. Maybe I am reading too much between the lines. Only time will tell though.

Actually all but one member of the new board of directors are from Cedar Fair.

That is good news about the board of directors in my opinion. When I was talking about that 51% of the company being made up by Cedar Fair, I was just talking about the shareholders. That percentage was originally stated in this article:

The more that Cedar Fair is in control, the better in my book but only time till tell.
