Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
This guy was the park president of Sea World San Diego from 2010-2016 and BGW for two years prior. He had to navigate the Blackfish drama. I’d wager he knows all about replacing shows with thrills. If you’re into thrilling attractions, this guy is your man.

More like, oh yeah
Good, keep beautifying the parks and adding major thrill rides.
Build a giga in the front of the park. Tear down those flumes and build a tilt coaster. Build a raptor behind the game's gallery next to Goliath. Bulldoze Kidzoplois and build something like Alpen Fury right next to American Eagle. Build a floorless B&M mega looper in the bus parking lot and move that thing over by the entrance sign.
Give the customer base what they want, and they will give back. Very happy to see John Reilly as the new CEO

I don't know much about the new executive team, but I doubt it would be that drastic of a change. We know the Giga's coming, just a matter of when. As for the future of aging rides like the Flumes, Ricochet, etc. It's all still speculation.

@JackGlass I'd actually rather they tear down Roaring Rapids if a water ride is on the chopping block! That ride is super annoying with them putting <= 9 people per raft and it takes like 7 minutes to exit. The flumes are still fun! Also can you plot Skyscreamer in Hometown Junk Machine plot? They could call it "Hometown High Flyer"!

Yes. As far as I'm concerned, the whole games gallery should be bulldozed and replaced with a raptor, new food stands, and a few free-standing games.
