It's cuz they are going bankrupt. Poor Six Flags, they didn't know how to manage there money well. This is why you should never consider owning a themepark if you fail the objectives in any of the RCT series.

Are you kidding. It has nothing to do with alack of money, it's just an attempt to become one step coser to monopolization of theme parks in the U.S. They only want to focus on their U.S. development.

No, hes right. They had to sell SFWoA because the park was just costing them money rather than making profit, and SF was going into debt.

You know why? It's because their park management sucks. (Not including SFMM... that one is still run just fine.) They all build the exact same coasters, the coasters run at minimum efficiency, everything costs 3 times as much as at other parks, ($30 for a freakin fastpass, $3 for a bottle of coke while there are no water fountains in the parks at all, and $10 for parking), not to mention the vandalism, the line jumping, the staff that seem like they don't care, and the ride lines that seem to be stopped all day. It's no wonder guests are getting fed up with Six Flags. I went to 2 of their parks, rode the rides, and I will never go back again if i have my way. Cedar Fair has much better parks.

See the bold markings above? Those are corrections, strike-outs of unnecessary words and grammatical errors made in your post. Next time use proper grammar, punctuation, etc., before you attempt to make a whole ethnicity look bad. You just made your own look worse than us Americans.

LOL at the Edge, he keeps joking and people keep believing him,
Example:SFMM is actually going to build a dueling 4th dimension coaster next to X and it will go 200mph with magnets.
Reply:Really, that's so cool, I knew they'd do that soon. That's why SFMM is so good.
He's JOKING.

[lol] good come back by weeweeslap earlier, that was funny, and you are right, i suppose american people are better than english people. I mean for a start we're fatter than you are now, I think, its 4 out of 10 adults in england are over weight. We're lazy, well i am anyway. We invent the best sports, then get crap at playing them, and get humiliated by other countries because we're crap at sport. BUT, you know as well as I know, that mostly, on the whole english people are far more linguistic than americans, not me, lol, but most english people. Hahaha, isn't banter, good fun :D

(off topic) I heard of the news that 50% of Americans are over weight and like a few decades ago, people weren't very overweight, but in like 100 years from now like everybody will be overweight.
