    Woah! I don’t follow this kind of stuff too closely, but I never saw this coming. Also, having been to both, I like Cedar Fair parks a lot more than Six Flags, so I see the CEO news as a positive.

      Yea, thank God it’s not Selim taking the CEO position… CF certainly has the edge over SF but recently I’ve felt the companies are a lot more similar (management wise) than they’ve ever been. I do feel like this is an excuse for complacency but time will tell.
