Cedar Fair and S.F are talking about a merger, talks are serious now. 

This could be great news for La Ronde

Yes indeed. Good news. Let's go! I always have fun at La Ronde only because I go there and pretend I am a kid.

If I look around with adult, objective eyes, I want to cry at all the neglect. Too bad qc & expo 67 heritage was destroyed.

The company will still be called Six Flags. La Ronde will drop even further in term of priority within the hundreds of parks.

Always something positive to add...

BTW rigor alert:  The new company will own 27 parks, 15 water parks and 9 resorts.  It doesn't add up to hundreds of parks...

⬆️ Truth always hurts and as usual, people dont wanna hear it. Typical human behavior. W&L.

You forgot to "watch" the second part of my comment and learn from it...

So this deal will probably go through fully Q2, 2024 and rebranding and all that fun stuff will be done by 2025-26. 

 

The proposed model is the C.F model, where all parks get investments in rides/infrastructure, upkeep, etc.. the S.F portion will be technologial upgrades (i.e mobile food orders, screens, self ordering, etc.).

 

I do believe some of the smaller parks will get sold off once this merger is 110% set in stone. I think La Ronde will stay since that park is ridiculously profitable, even though upgrades and new rides are non-existent. Hopefully this merger will lead to upper management to finally listen to park management and let prior plans/new plans go through.
