This is ridiculous as how much these rides cost. On some of these, I am taking an educated guess like Raging Bull. Goliath costed 21 million, and Raging Bull was the first of these, so you would guess that it is somewhere around that number. This was in an article that Six Flags has spent somewhere around 750 million in rides for 7 years. So, I was seeing what each park got, and this was the result of what I got. I got 807 million, but it's close enough tp 750 million.
Six Flags still today spends around a 100 million each year in capital expenditures. This could be new rides, fixing stuff, painting, or putting up new signs. That's way too much money!! NOW, they only have 12 regular theme parks. The rest are water parks which don't require a lot of money. Here, and there, they will put in a 2 million dollar water slide.

Are Six Flags prices really that expensive?
You can get great discounts online, and it's not expensive as regular price suggests. Is Six Flags charging enough money to get in with these huge discounts? I think not. What about the season pass prices at Magic Mountain? They are underpricing themselves way too much!
$54.99 Six Flags Great America - really charging $40.00
$45.00 Six Flags St. Louis- really charging $37.00
$40.00 Kentucky Kingdom -really charging $31.00
$50.00 Six Flags America really charging $40.00
Great Adventure $60.00 really charging $40.00
Magic Mountain $60.00 really charging $40.00 In my opinion, I think they should charge: $54.00 - $7.00 discount
$30.00 Hurricane Harbor- $5.00 discount (However, you give Hurricane Harbor something new.)
Season Pass Today is-----$60.00 for Magic Mountain which is STUPID
I believe it should be: $110.00 Six Flags Magic Mountain
$60.00 Hurricane Harbor
$150.00 for Hurricane harbor + Magic Mountain
I believe it should be:
Great America - $54.00 - $7.00 discount
I think parking at all parks should be $10.00. Admit that they were stupid, stop giving maps, and parking has gone down!!!
Over Texas $45.00 really charging $40.00 (Wow, that's cheap either way!)
New England $50.00 really charging $40.00
Fiesta Texas $49.00 really charging $34.00

Wild Adventures- Should I go or Not?
I have never been to Wild Adventures, and I was wondering is the park worth it? mult means I think would love to go on that ride many times during the day. I've never been on a Moser Sidewinder, but I think I would love it. Please leave any comments if you have been to this park.
Rides that look Great/Good!
mult Yo-Yo Cypress Gardens is great
mult Wipeout
mult Power Surge
mult Chance Alpine Bobs (themed Swingin Safari)
mult Boomerang-Rough but awesome
multSidewinder ??? It's by Moser, and it spins around back and forth (Pendulum)
mult Mouse Coaster - It's a mouse coaster. What else can you say about it.
multChance Aviator??? - I've never been on an Aviator before.
Swamp Thing (Vekoma Inverted)-It was good at Cypress Gardens.
Double Shot - once and awhile
Bumper Cars - Remember, you can't hit head to head on these bumper cars which I think is stupid.
Kite Flyer
Pipeline Water Coaster
Tilt-A-Whirl It's a G5!! Boo!! It's just GOOD, and NOT GREAT!
Inverter - iffy at best
Tiger Terror Wisdom coaster (It looks bad like a Dragon Wagon ride.)
SLC = horrible.
Ant Farm Express=Spacely's which isn't good, but stil can go on it.

My Opinions for Worst Flat
These are my opinion:
Worst Flat (Amusement Park & Carnival) Ride (Top 15)
Top 15 instead of 10 due to Some Rides Leaving Parks or Carnivals (Yeah!!)
Mega Bounce (Cypress Gardens) – Roughest Piece of JUNK
Hi Roller
Space Roller
Downdraft- All Star Amusements sold this ride.
Round-Up / Zero Gravity
Soarin’
Twister = Movie (Universal Studios)
Shrek 4D
Wildcatter (SFOT –Intamin Generation Drop Tower 1)- This ride has been demolished, but there is still at Cedar Point.
Trailblazer- Six Flags Great America doesn’t operate this ride anymore. The ride’s arm is partial there, but it’s not open.
X-Scream- I don’t know of any carnival that has this ride. Windy City, and All Around did, but there X-Scream is now history.
1001 Nachts
Pharoah’s Fury (Rocking Boat Ride)
Jester’s Wild Ride
Rodeo (SFOT)
_____________________________________
These rides are hard to find out of all the worst flat rides because not many amusement parks or carnivals have them, or they are really old:

Downdraft- All Star Amusements sold this ride. I don't believe they made a lot of this ride. Dartron has the Hurricane, and carnivals like that ride. They were smart enough not to buy the Downdraft.

The Age Old Question- Why is Fright Fest at Six Flags packed?
It’s not just about the “rides.” You can be a chicken, and go to the park, and enjoy it. People like getting scared. In other words, people can go on 4 rides, but still have a fun time because they are enjoying getting scared in the haunted houses, or other stuff.
The teenagers get something else to do. It’s like having more rides in the park. If they are sick of going on Batman the Ride the entire year, they get to walk through Fright Zones, and so on. Sometimes, they have new shows during Fright Fest that teenagers might like also that you can't get any other time.
“Dark girls” unite! Some people really like Halloween stuff, and scary stuff. There is a different type of teenager that likes to attend these events, and they are “dark girls.” You hardly see any of these type of people during the regular season, but they come out now.
It’s a Halloween event. It’s October, and people want to do something Halloweenish, and what’s the perfect way to do so. The rides are themed, and are a little different from how they usually run.
The Halloween event is really only for 8 days open to the general public. Yes, October is the whole month, but the park is only open on weekends. So, have you all these people from the regular season coming to the park during this event because it’s so different.
It’s so darn cheap!! Tickets are $15 off during the last two weeks of Fright Fest, and are $25 off during the first two weeks of Fright Fest. That is really cheap. All you have to do is go online! This for Six Flags.
It’s the end of the end. This is it. The season is coming to a close, and people want to get on there last rides before it closes.

What Should Six Flags Magic Mountain do?
I think they should:
Remove one flume water ride. The Yo-Yo looks horrible. It's needs it's siding even if they just call it Yo-Yo. It just looks bad. Restore the Himilaya.
Add 7 more flats (4,229,000) Orbiter 400,000, Used Cliffhanger 129,000, Used Flying Bobs with music, lights, and sound. 300,000, Century Wheel 400,000 -Medium Sized Ferris Wheel, 2 Gee Whizes at 1.2 million, Swing Around 600,000, Used Wipeout that has seatbelts 200,000,
In 3 years, buy a Scooby Doo Dark ride that costs 5 million.
In 4 years, add 5 kids rides ($750,000) 1 Hampton Umbrella Ride, Zamperla Speedway, Fun House, Beetle ride, Fun Slide
Advertise that we are a new Six Flags Magic Mountain. Our roller coasters are Open for business!!!! Buy more roller coaster trains for most of there coasters even if they can't fit on the track like Batman the Ride. Buy more than 2 roller coaster trains because of the non-offseason they have. They should also buy 2 new (non G5) Tilt-A-Whirls because they torn down the other one!
In 6 years: add a KMG Fireball and add a Tivoli Spin Out. These are probably going to cost about $2 million which is nothing compared to a 16 million B&M. If they are really popular, buy 2 more to help with capacity. The bigger version of the Fireball isn't as great as the Fireball, and I think that the park should get 2 instead of it.
Also, add yet another dark ride 5 million. Willy Wonka if they have the rights.
In 10 years, buy a mouse coaster, and replace Viper.
In 11 years, add a Power Surge, add 2 Scats, add more kids rides, and take out the Round Up.
In 12 years, add 2 Zippers.
In 15 years, add a B&M sitdown coaster with Ninja gone.

What I think Parks Should do When they are in Trouble.
Six Flags is in a huge debt, and thus had to sell some parks last year. Cedar Fair is in debt, and wanted to sell the company.
So, why are these things happening?
The obvious thing to me is that these theme parks are buying too many high-priced rides. I mean not only do we have roller coasters that have a high-priced tag, but there are flat rides that are the same way. Power Tower is priced around $10 million while Max Air costs $7.5 million. The Huss Top Spin costs $3 million. This is just ridiculous for those rides.
Obviously, good roller coasters are going to cost a lot more money than bad ones. At Six Flags Great America, why does the park need a roller coaster every other year? In 2001, they got 2 coasters. In 2003 and 2004, they added two more. This is just spending like anything.
Of course, attendance is going to go down if you don’t add anything. The reason is because people get bored of the rides they have already (some people). They want something new. Thus, why not try exhilarating flat rides that don’t cost an arm and a leg. You could add Flying Bobs, KMG Fireball, KMG Spin Out, Tivoli Orbiter, Wisdom Gee Whiz, Hi-Lite Scat, Chance Zipper, Dark Rides, Zamperla Disko’, Chance Yo-Yo that tilts, Eyerly Spider, Chance Wipeout, Zamperla Power Surge, Tilt-A-Whirl, Himilaya, and so on.
You don’t have to add them every year either. If there is a carnival, and they have the same rides year after year, they will eventually get bored of it (Maybe, they will.), but 2 years or even 3 years in a row is not a big deal. The people will still come back, and they will enjoy the rides.
To solve the debt problem, go to the exciting cheaper rides that the carnival can provide, and so can the amusement park. Yes, get new coasters, but don’t get them for 5-6 years unless you are park that doesn’t have the many roller coasters like Six Flags St Louis, or Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
