SFGAm's Sign

[Rusty888]

No he means the CF would buy SFI, therefore changing the company name. But anyways, I liked the sign better when mariott owned the park, because I think the lettering looked better.

[Drkstarboard]

Nobody is buying the company. They set the deadline date to October 24th, 2005 and no one bought it.

[Trailblazer Tony]

Don't worry Twix, i thought they were talking about the sign also.

[Rusty888]

I know no one is buying SFI, but I was just explaining what they said.

[SFaddiction84]

The october 24th think is false.....Cedar Fair That if NO ONE places a big in 60 days, It will make a BID!!! so CEDAR FAIR is still in the running

yeah, SFI is still up for auction, your info is Faulty.

[FRD714]

I think CF will get it.

[CoastsToCoasters]

I hope Cedar Fair does buy it!

Oh, definatley....I hope Cedar Fair really does buy us. We would be even better off than we already are.....(correct?) I just love the reputation their company has and we would have excellent landscaping

[Carlo]

I highly doubt that the Six Flags name would change. The name is so well known that a company may want to buy the chain just for the name. If CF ever purchased SF, most likely Cedar Point would change its name to Six Flags Cedar Point.

[CoastsToCoasters]

I can be positive that CEDAR POINT would never change their name by adding SIXFLAGS to it
Everyone knows CedarPoint....alot of people Ive come in contact with think every six flags is the same, but know what cedar point has

Cedar Fair should purchase at least SFGAM and SFGAD! I mean if these are money makers in our chain then why not purchase them? And isnt it possible that we could be receiving greater and bigger thrill rides?

[SFaddiction84]

I hope Cedar Fair Buys IT....

Did you Cedar Point, Is reducing there ADMISSION price for Next Year?

Regular 1 Day is Now 39.99 (instead of 44.95) and there Junior Tickets are only 9.99 (instead of 24.99). They will also be lowering Alot of food prices (for more info visit http://www.cedarfair.com and look for latest news)

Maybe the name could be cedar point's great america or something like that. Just a thought.

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

^ Cedar Point is not an amusement park chain. You are refering to Cedar FAIR. Cedar Fair does not attach their name to the parks they own, so Cedar Fair's Great America would never happen.

Six Flags Inc. has made it clear that they are not selling individual parks, they are selling the company as a whole. Trust me, if it was just individual parks for sale, there would be many many people lined up to buy GAm.

Thanks for the link!

[greatamerica2003]

I beleive that this topic was about the tollway sign..............

That sign sports the old Six Flags logo from the Time Warner days. It used to be backlit and was a lot showier in its heyday.

Its a hefty cost to pull it down and build new. Capital expediture for sure. I don't think its in the parks best intrest to construct a new one.

[Binks Drake]

They intend to.

[Mr_Paradise_316]

hmmmmmmmmm i think they should wait and see what happens with the buyout before they go and buy/improve more....

[Cs6153]

but its the little improvements, that also keep the GP coming back. A new sign, a new roof, new walkways may seem like a waste of money but they really are not.
People want to come to a park that looks nice. More people are apt to come if they see a new beautifl sign. They may see the sign andthe american eagle and think I have nto been to SFGAM in ages I should go and actually go where the year before when the sign was old, they would drive by, see the Eagle and drive by the sign and not even notice it and not even think of going to the park.
if they keep on putting off improvements to see how the park does, then the park is just getting more and more run down and eventually people will think this is a run down park I am not coming back

[FRD714]

^ I agree. The park is starting to get a little run down. Now , of course this isnt going to keep me away from there, but it may keep others.

[Binks Drake]

It's not even close to being a run down park...

[FRD714]

^I dont mean run down like everything is falling apart, but there are some things that need to be updated and refurbished like the sign.

[Rusty888]

Binks Drake has a point, most run down parks don't get 3 million vistiors a year.

[FRD714]

Ok, maybe run down isnt the word to use.
