Six Flags didn’t fall overnight; it was crushed by debt, bad management, and years of ignoring what loyal guests actually wanted.

It went from a family theme park to a roller coaster park.

You used to be able to take a Coca-Cola can in and get $5 off of $20 admission. Now you're admission is close to $65 with no discounts. It's real simple The more people that pay. The better your profits. The more you charge the less people come. That reduces your profits

I grew up with Astroworld as did my kids. However the closure was total hogwash. They said that the land was more valuable than the park but then zero was done with it. What used to give kids a place to entertain themselves and traded it for kids who didn't know what to do but get into trouble.

I’m sobbing for those children, omg how horrible…. They must have been so terrified and helpless. They suffered so badly. And the knife in the heart is that some of the children won the trip by collecting soup can labels. May their souls rest in peace 😞

I grew up going to the 6 flags in gurnee Illinois. Had season passes and would regularly take my kids. Good times. Shockwave, raging bull, Batman were the must ride coasters. Lol can’t forget American eagle. The old wood coaster
