I'm not writing Cedar Flags off yet-- it sounds like the people they have running the parks regionally are some of the best they had. There's a lot of potential positive to be said about having someone creating a multipark strategy, especially when some of the markets have overlap.

I'm hoping that's the case, but how they've handled the merger so far has been shaky.

I honestly was hoping this merger would work out well with both companies learning the best from each other to improve the parks. Looks like they're pulling a SeaWorld/United.

The idea of each park losing it's "voice" to corporate/leadership is going to hurt them in the long-run.

The idea that they can take a "blanket approach" to each individual park is silly to me.

Your last point is my issue, and was my worry with this merger much like the Cedar Fair deal in '97. It took them a long time to course correct and realize that Knott's Berry Farm isn't Carowinds. A lot of irreversible damage was done to the park.

Simply put: Knott's is unlike any other park in the Cedar Fair/Six Flags roster for many reasons. Storbeck was a good leader for the park, but he also understood the importance of the legacy and history. I hope history doesn't repeat itself.

Parks like Knott's engrained enough in the hearts of locals to survive this chapter of its history. That said, it certainly helps to have people on the ground everyday working to serve that multi-generational love. Hopefully those who remain can keep their focus on how much these parks mean to us despite the hands they're dealt.

My prediction: The parks (KBF, SFMM) will continue to improve (SFMM) and run well (KBF). But will just take on a more corporate feel with less of a personal touch.

Unfortunate, but as long as they especially maintain the integrity of Knotts, this is a worse-case scenario I can live with.
