MASON, Ohio - Many people are wondering whether they will soon see a new sign in Mason that reads, "Six Flags Kings Island."
“It would be nice if we all don’t all of a sudden becomes cookie-cutter and everything’s the same,” he said “I like the uniqueness of each park.”“This transaction is all about our guests -- the value it will create for them, the additional perks we will provide, and the additional thrills we will create," said Six Flags CEO Selim Bassoul.Cedar Fair CEO Richard Zimmerman will be the new CEO. He says the efficiencies brought by the merger will allow for a better guest experience.
It really is a win-win-win deal for everybody and it’s very exciting,” said Speigel. “They’ll have an opportunity now with their season passes to go to both parks. There’ll be the benefit of their buying power. Pizzas and hamburgers should be a little bit cheaper because of that leverage. "I’d like to see some new dark rides added to Kings Island, which now, with Six Flags involved, may come to fruition," said Overfield.
