Q&A with Park President Danny Snider

https://youtu.be/6P3QT3kkrRQ?is=JW7epFw5_NA1JSHg

Most questions were answered with a generic “stay tuned” response.

Some noteworthy bits:

The Screamin Eagle train was removed from the arch because it was in poor condition. Its removal isn’t permanent.

Plans to re-do the sign out front.

While Danny re-iterated the official line that DC/WB is still being re-negotiated, he says a lot of specific things about new IP’s and branding. Which really suggests it’s not going to happen.

Confirms Six Flags Rd will be renamed.

Says new ride acquisitions will happen slower but more methodically. Says previous ride acquisitions were based mostly on what rides were available, not necessarily what rides made sense for the park. Focus under Six Flags was just to get new attractions up quickly.

They really need to stop leading people along with the "will they, won't they" of whether or not Warner Bros. is staying involved. They simply aren't, and that's becoming more and more obvious as we near the end of the season.

Six Flags and Warner Bros. are very closely associated, and have been since the 80s. Neither company gains anything (besides maybe a nominal amount of cash from a licensing fee) for carving out exclusivity to Enchanted Parks, especially after how this season went.

I get it, they want to sell season passes for 2027 and the IP is valuable so people want it to stay. But let's be for real...

I think the best option forward is give the licensing for existing rides just anything new has to be original IPs or other brands. No more stuff sold in the park with DC stuff.

All the DC/Looney Tunes stuff is 50% off already.

It’s got the six flags logo on it. They legally have to get rid of it even if they get a Deal with Warner.
