I don't think this is necessarily a repeat of 2004-2009. #Post#: 1754-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: Mrceagle Date: January 11, 2020, 4:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I think it's a bit too early to get worried. The weather was sub-par this last quarter. Not to mention a short holiday season #Post#: 1804-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: CodyatTGE Date: January 19, 2020, 1:31 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Pineracer link=topic=249.msg1749#msg1749 date=1578760433] My only question is had they broken ground/order rides for those parks.

[/quote] I do think they probably already ordered the rides. #Post#: 1805-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: Mrceagle Date: January 19, 2020, 2:39 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Not sure to either they may have started to order rides but they would be owned by the developers, not SFI. That being said canceled rides have proved valuable to some parks. Magic Springs Cristal Falls SLC was originally ordered by Jazzland. #Post#: 1812-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: depotrat Date: January 19, 2020, 7:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I think the worry is that Q4 is when season passes get renewed. Perhaps there is just less of that becuase so many folks have migrated to memberships which spread the money equally through the year. #Post#: 1814-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: Mrceagle Date: January 20, 2020, 2:58 pm --------------------------------------------------------- It's a good theory. Makes a lot of sense. Personly I never renewed my seaosn pass in the fall i alway swaited til the opening wekend sale. #Post#: 1817-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: CodyatTGE Date: January 20, 2020, 3:36 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yeah memberships probably contributed to that. I also think news of the China parks being delayed scared some people off too. #Post#: 1820-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: SuperWickedFun!

[/quote] I would think Q3 would get a lot of renewals with the Labor Day sale. #Post#: 1824-------------------------------------------------- Re: Six Flags Earnings By: CodyatTGE Date: January 20, 2020, 6:18 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yeah but they’re practically on sale from Labor Day-March. It’s the same sale with a different title. “Halloween Sale” “Thanksgiving Sale” “Christmas Sale” “Winter Sale” ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
