Lately I’ve been asked by a few of my friends if Six Flags (being from Wisconsin they are referring to Great America, but I am answering for all the parks) is closing. The answer has always been, “No they are far from it.” This is the truth. Don’t listen to random rumors floating amongst your friends. Six Flags is not closing their doors. They are not going to collapse and disappear off the face of the earth.
This rumor stems from the fact that Six Flags might declare bankruptcy in the next few months and thanks to mass media it got hyped up into meaning they will be closing. Bankruptcy is NOT the end of the world! GM declared bankruptcy today and they are going to do just fine (assuming the government doesn’t run them into the ground for a 2nd time, but that is a different story).
Six Flags is doing better than ever from an operational standpoint. The parks are cleaner and more family friendly than anyone can recall in recent memory. No longer is it just a haven for teens to hang out. While the teens can still come enjoy the huge attractions us enthusiasts love, you can bring mom and dad and younger sister and brother to enjoy in the fun too.
Going to end with this: don’t believe everthing you see or here, especially from the news. Heck, don’t even believe me. Do your own research and discover the facts for yourself and formulate your own opinions. The best thing to do would be to visit the parks and find out for yourself!
