six flags is awsome and it would be a huge mistake to sell it, I think it will pull out of it if he would just lower the prices.

I sure that running a park like Elich Gardens is expensive. Visiting 6 flags over texas 30 years ago was a treat and a joy. I hope that the park continues, no matter under what flag. I agree that it is too expensive though. We've bought season passes in prior years but the time spent in lines made it unappealing to our kids. Everything is overtly set up to take your money. A little sublety, some salesmanship, would help. Shoot, show a video on the making of the rides. That would be something I would stand in line for.
The parking, especially for season pass holders, is a ripoff.

Six Flags is obviously a rip off.$15.00 to park you rcar here in DENVER? What, is parking is short supply here????? Why not $50.00????
Funnel cakes are $8.00. Why not make them $28.95???
Sell your property. Go to Funtastic fun instead! If you're too old, then fly to Universal Studios. Now "THAT'S" fun!

I think the sale of the park is a bad deal. If they are just going to sell some parks (Elitch's), then they should sell the whole company. Elitch's DOES make money, and shouldn't have to carry the whole company, like it seems they are doing. The park has a bid, let's just hope that it stays an amusement park. The city wants the park to remain no matter who owns it. The city makes money from the park being there. The park employs hundreds of people, some getting their first job there. Elitch's seems to always have a lot pof people in the park. Management never gives employees any information on the sale.

I think the employees have a right to know whether the park is going to be around and for how long. Some co-workers want to know what kind of people are interested in purchasing the land or the park. Whoever it is, I hope they make it better. To all of our guests: PLEASE COME BACK AND KEEP SUPPORTING ELITCH'S! No matter what happens with the sale. Just because the other parks are losing money, Denver should not suffer. Six Flags corp just wants to make money for their investors, and doesn't seem to care about the customers or the employees who will be out of work. Anyone interested in knowing more should search the web like I did and find out as much as you can about the sale. Google is a good place to start. Obviously, I'm not very happy about this.

Maybe the company should file for Chapter 11 bankrupcy. They should at least get more bids for the company, and not sell off just some of the parks. I heard that the Hershey's Corporation is thinking about buying the company. Anyone else hear that? It would be better to be part of the Hershey's family, instead of closed and out of work. The employees deserve to have more information, either from the company or the media.

PARC 7F may not be able to close the deal on the Six Flags parks. Rumor has it that they can not come up with all of the "cash" needed for the sale to go through. If the sale is a bust, what will happen next? Will the parks be sold to another buyer? Will Synder continue to run these parks into the ground with overpriced food and parking?

Six Flags is so generic and lacking of individual park identity the entire chain should just be sold to McDonalds. Combine the imagination of a strip mall with Lord & Taylor prices and there is no reason to go!$3.00 for a 16 ounce Coke?$3.00???
Screw them. Go to Lakeside, better site, more unique style, MUCH better prices, cooler on hot days, better atmoshpere, TREES, GRASS. Support them and maybe they can offer some more rides.
