Yah I saw that. Then the government came in and threatened to arrest him if he didn't lower the price.

This topic has strayed from what it should be. Instead of a gas price topic, it needs to be relating to the high gas prices and going to six flags.

Well, then, for most people it won't make that much of a difference. Even if you live 150 miles from the park (about 2 hours), that's about 6 gallons of gas. Right now, gas prices are about $0.50 higher than what they normally are this time of year. ($2.49 sounds about right for this time of year, doesn't it?) So that's only about $3.00 more for each trip, $6.00 round trip. I don't know about you, but a trip to Six Flags is definately worth $6.00.
And that's round trip for people living past the city, most people here are probably closer than that.

You can make $10 a gallon and it still won't stop people from going to six flags.

Ok... I live in the Bahamas but go to six flags whenever I go to visit family in Chicago. Gas prices here are $4.10 at the moment. They are set to reach $5.00 over the weekend. That my friends is bad. $3.00 a gallon would be like christmas here.
I wish I lived in Chicago so I could go to Six Flags more often!

When they first rose it was $5.89 in North Carolina I'm glad it was never that much here.

Doesn't look like gas is going to go up like $3.00 a gallon as crude oil slipped almost $3 down.
