"Shapiro did not return messages requesting comment.

A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter said Shapiro and the theme park's new owners did not agree on an operational strategy for the company.

Snyder and Shapiro, a former ESPN executive, had sought to create a more family-friendly atmosphere at Six Flags by adding attractions while forging partnerships with sponsors such as Sara Lee and Chase Card Services."

This mentions that Shapiro was NOT removed because he was not managing the company well, this says that his Family strategy was not what the company wanted. So, Chang 2012? Nahh. I'm kidding. But this could usher in a new era of a balanced Thrill/Family Six Flags.
