I was pretty pleased with Six Flags' 2007 year...

Pleased in that it indicates future good performance yes...
As an actual standalone year...no better then any other for the past decade.

^Exactly. Can't beat 2005 or the 90s.

The 90's was the best time to go there.

Yup. Fright Fest was relatively new, Sky Whirl was still there, shockwave was still there, and the park was so much cheaper.

And yet, no Raging Bull, no Hurricane Harbor, and no V2. The three greatest reasons to go to Six Flags weren't there...but the 90's still rocked.

So i'm not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the topic, but what is the deal with Sandals? Am i going to have to pay per ride or are they still going to have the station bins? (since i'm pretty sure i can't sit on them anymore)....and if i have to pay per locker, Six Flags lost my attendance for the water rides

^^ I do not know about Raging Bull, but Batman and Superman will have bins for loose-fitting shoes. Regarding water rides, they will still have bins. I'll say it one more time - The only rides that will have the mandatory lockers are Raging Bull, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Batman: The Ride, Iron Wolf, American Eagle, and The Dark Knight Coaster.

what about 1990 through 1998. I don't count one year out of ten as having been part of the 90's.

You can fairly emphatically beat 2005, there was that whole thing where Six Flags didn't make a profit that year...
Also, to the post above me how is 1999 not part of the nineties? Because I can say with complete certainty that It was...

Six Flags hasn't turned a meaningful profit since 1999 basically.

Any time bro. It's a possibility hurricane harbor will be expanded but I somewhat doubt it.

I know we already have Revolution, But i have always been hoping we would get maybe a Maxair, or Sky Hawk! Highly unlikely but one could always wish.

No chance whatsoever of a triple ferris wheel. Intamin doesn't make them anymore. Sorry.
