@MHawk9955 I AM SO JEALOUS! I’ve been on the hunt for one of these for years! @panasonic needs to bring them back!!

Six Flags has just announced that California's Great America will be moved to Six Flags Magic Mountain, wow!

[Retro Six Flags @RetroSixFlags]

@jake_coasters It’s a fascinating rabbit hole to go down. Angus clearly loved theme parks, and afterwards established the other Texas park Seven Seas Marine Life Park in Arlington. Ironically Six Flags would end up buying that park within the decade.

NEW VIDEO: Six Flags used have a strong identity and a clear vision for their parks. Offering regional destinations that aimed to rival Disneyland.

Today that vision is lost in the corporate noise.

What happened to this once mighty amusement park empire? Can it ever recover?

And an unusual angle of Catwoman's Whip. What a wasteland, don't you think?

JUST IN: Six Flags says they will be adding seat belts to Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, and “other coasters with a similar restraint,” after the fatal incident a few weeks ago.

Six Flags has confirmed that the following roller coasters will be receiving the added safety belts:

- Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia
- Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America
- Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure

When asked for a timetable on when the safety belts could be installed, Six Flags provided this statement:

“The timing may vary by attraction based on the reviews, engineering requirements, availability of components and applicable approval processes. We will not reopen an affected attraction until the necessary work and reviews associated with that ride have been completed. We will provide park-specific updates as information becomes available.”

@DailySFNOPic VHS tapes are sometimes more resilient than would be expected. If someone picked it up today, it might be able to still be digitized.

@AliciaStella I’m hoping they will bring back the effect where the sign would spark and rain sparks down. I don’t know how they accomplished that back in the day, but it’s the coolest thing ever!

This is horrible news.

My big payout from the Six Flags America employee class action settlement.

I think the reason Cedar Fair was held in any estime was because Six Flags existed separately to hold themselves above. That is no longer possible after the merger, and people are realizing Cedar Fair sucks as much as Six Flags ever did.

[Retro Six Flags @RetroSixFlags]

This kind of timeline is what really hurt Six Flags America’s reputation. Unless there is a massive advertising campaign to sway the narrative, the park will continue to suffer declining attendance and declining perceptions of safety.

@thatguyyy43 I know, I’m cracking a joke. 😂 like why even bother having including me in the payout? 😂
