Minyanville has posted an interesting article (see it here) about Six Flags (Great Adventure mostly I believe) and how it matches up to other parks in the categories of rides, seasonal attractions, marketing, accidents, and “Edutainment.” I have to disagree with some of their analysis. They claim that the rides at Six Flags (specifically Kingda Ka) are outmatched by the roller coasters (READ: 4) at Hard Rock Park. While I really like Hard Rock Park, they are many years off of over taking any Six Flags park in the rides department. Also, Six Flags’ marketing is getting better, but they are still far behind Disney. Finally I feel that it is unfair that they claim Six Flags has had tons of accidents. While they may have had more total accidents, they also have the most parks and the most possibility for accidents, so comparing them to Hersheypark (1 park) is a bit unfair.
