But it is a move that will no doubt shake things up. For better or worse, I don't know.
But even if the shareholders voted to do this, there are far more people who will make the desicion on whether this was a good move or not........
GUEST TRAFFIC. If they don't like whats happening at the parks, they won't come. And the almighty dollar makes that desicion.
Wait until Snyder finds out that theme parks really don't turn as big a profit as he thinks.
I think that there is a possibility that everything could be renamed. But remember that Snyder is not in control. Red Zone is not a majority of the BOD. If they brought it up for a vote, it could still get voted down.
I think that in the case of the advertisements, adding a few to every park wouldn't hurt, but putting one in every place imaginable would just make a park look like complete trash.

Six Flags is a buisness and they can't just tailor to Enthusiasts.
Go Snyder, and I'm sick of Mr. Six.
Thank You!

I agree with Aero. Yes they should raise season passes then that means more families would buy them and less teens, which vandalize the park. If we get a more family enviorment then more families would come and they wont really care about the season pass prices since its for their kids.
Taking the Looney Tunes characters out are just stupid! They are basically whats left for the kids. Maybe they want to go to a new generation of cartoons like Spongebob or something. Overall throwing them away will not be a good idea.
Having more advertisements would just take the theme away from Six Flags. Picture it your in line in Southwest Territory trying to expierence the old western days and theres a brand new car you can win! or a new cell phone...throws the park off subject.
In order to save money they should sell the small parks and keep the major pakrs like SF Gadv, GAm, Over Texas, Magic Mountain, St. Louis, and thats all I can think of for right now. From these profits they can save to build a bigger and better park from scratch which will attract a lot of people. That will raise money.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.
Since when is StLouis a large park? Snyder has been unamiously voted in as chairman....(Which means every person on the board voted for him). The sale process is still going through, and still all options are open. Snyder does not seem like the bad person you all make him to be. He honestly seems open minded.
Mr. Snyder stated: "All directors are committed to continuing the sale process." Mark Shapiro, recently elected to the Board, also threw his support behind the sale process continuing unfettered, "It will all play out one step at a time."
Give the guy a chance, come on. Every theme park company has sponsor, Test Track sponsored by GM, Mission Space brought to you by IBM, DejaVu presented by Slim Jim...etc...etc...I just think all you little acers/acer to be/enthusiast are just scared of change. I want to see what Mark Spario can do, considering he will be CEO, not snyder.
The sponsering and the raising of the season pass prices are all good ideas that I think are smart and needed. However, selling parks is sad to see, especially if they are just going to get the wrecking ball. Also, Mr. Six has people who have never even been to Six Flags amused so I don't understand loosing a good thing. Either way, I will give him a chance and we'll see how things go.

Where did you read that Shapiro will become the CEO? I have not seen that anywhere. Kerian Burke is still the CEO of SFI, just no longer Chairman of the Board.
I was refering to which if Snyder's Red Zone Holdings became majority share holder, he vote him on....it has been stated many times he want Sharpio to head up the group.
