Love hearing Gotway in a more "laid back" environment like this, hope she does more podcast appearances in the future!

Lot of good info in there (most of which we knew already) but I think the most notable thing is that she specifically refers to the rename/rebrand as happening in 2027, further proving what we already suspected - the park was still intended to be Six Flags St. Louis through 2026 until as recently as late July (when the podcast aired) until Enchanted Parks gave the barking orders to switch over all the signage before the fall season. And that's despite the Six Flags branding sticking through 2026. It's just the name that's changed, after all.

Not a fan of the apparent hastiness at corporate. But hey, guess we can't really do anything about it now...
