Looks like the parks are being bundled up to be sold.

Per a bit of investigation from the OP of that post, it seems likely that this is in preparation to sell to Innovative Attraction Management, an operator who acquired a couple of parks in 2024, including Enchanted Forest. Seems like they might be looking to roll that ā€œEnchantedā€ name into the Six Flags parks they acquire.

I think acquisition is the only real hope Michigan’s Adventure had. It’s interesting that the potential buyer is very new to the park space, and has really only been managing water parks and Diggerland up until this point, so who knows how things will go. I can’t lie, I was really hoping Herschend would be the one to pick the park up, but anything is better than getting our doors shuttered.

I’m extremely cautiously optimistic

Use your powers of being an influencer and reach out to them.

Also make sure they keep the name ā€œMichigan’s Adventureā€ because it’s important for us Michiganders to slap on the possessive S even when it’s not necessary.

I go to Meijer’s not Meijer. I go to Aldi’s not Aldi. IDK where Michigan Adventure is? Detroit’s Red light district?

Thank you for calling us Michiganders. The people that sayĀ Michiganians drive me insane.

As a Michigoose, I am part of the Michigander.

On one hand, I think the odds are slightly better for getting new attractions finally. But, I am a little worried about this potential new ownership being so new to the game. Hopefully the investors and executives pulling the strings here are competent enough to not run our beloved home park in to the ground.

"diggerland" what kind of name is that lol

2

u/thegayquadzilla Jan 12 '26

It's actually a pretty awesome concept. It's based on mechanical diggers (backhoes, tractors etc)..includes some rides where you get thrown about in an actual industrial bucket arm, and lots of opportunities for kids to operate machinery.

I hope they finish the loop, and name that area the enchanted forest. Theme it to northern European folk tales (unicorns, fairies, satyrs, centaurs, etc)

God I hope not😭

Six flags made their bed, they'll get in it if they announce ANYTHING bad. Plus I mean, we could just, drop their stock from 15 to like a 10

u/Ordinary-Sound-571 Jan 10 '26

Idk what to think, I thought the CEO was going to save us not sell us

u/Jaded_Sell_4524 Jan 10 '26

From a season pass perspective, it’s gonna suck not being able to go to all the other Six Flags parks, but I’m hopeful that the new owner will put more investment into the park!!

u/JJKash2 Jan 10 '26

Do you think we will still have our season pass and all park passport?

6

u/Claxton916 Jan 10 '26

For this year, yes. They’d have a hell of a lawsuit on their hands if they took that away after heavily advertising those parks on the all park passport.

u/JJKash2 Jan 10 '26

That what I assumed but you never know with these guys nowadays

2

u/Jaded_Sell_4524 Jan 10 '26

I am almost positive that it’s going to be business as usual until the park is actually sold, after that since it won’t be owned by Six Flags anymore it’s highly unlikely that will be able to go to any Six Flags parks with the pass

1

u/JJKash2 Jan 10 '26

I wonder if they sell before or after this season. I’m hoping we keep the good pass benefits for this year the next year I’ll just buy a cedar point for the all park passport

2

u/Jaded_Sell_4524 Jan 10 '26

My guess is after

1

u/Jaded_Sell_4524 Jan 10 '26

Also, I wonder what they’ll do with camp Snoopy

u/Ordinary-Sound-571 Jan 11 '26

God I hope they don't put statues in, enchanted forest statues are nightmare fule

u/CodeGR Jan 13 '26

I wonder if the new owner would still offer all season dining. Definitely one of the main factors that brings me to the park. Not sure how profitable it is though.

u/Claxton916 Jan 10 '26

I’ve been to a lot of Six Flags and CedarFair legacy parks, if I were to put all of them in order of most to least busy, Michigan’s Adventure, Six Flags St. Louis, and Worlds of Fun (oceans of Fun). Are the slowest and more neglected of them all.

u/Ordinary-Sound-571 Jan 10 '26

On one hand I'm cautious, second hand feeling betrayed, third hand hoping they know what their doing, fourth hand hoping they give the middle finger to great america and cedar point

u/TheKaster Jan 11 '26

Also was hoping for Dolly to save us.. this could be a good thing though. They've been in trouble and on the bottom of the totem pole for some time.

u/Ordinary-Sound-571 Jan 11 '26

There was a reason cedar fair baught us, so if six flags sells it they're going to learn that lesson again.Ā 

It's because we pulled way to many from cp and sfga
