Six Flags: A Ripoff
Many parks/stadiums/enterta... centers all charge the same prices for food and most people never pay full admittance fee's (it is cheaper online and stores in the area around the park have big discounts).
I sorry you had a bad experience at one of their parks but they have around 15 others. I have been to many of these parks and your comments sound specific to one park not the company as a whole.
Open spaces, kid friendly rides and (fast, friendly, safe, clean service) is what they are striving towards. They have done well in the last two years fixing problems.
I know you don't feel like you got value for you money and that is your experience but the company as a whole and many of there parks have been making great turnarounds already. They have been trying different idea's to reshape the companies image at a select number of parks for a trial period. If these idea's work they will implement them across all of there parks.
Consider Six Flags Discovery Kingdom formally know as Marine World. This park has been transformed form this crappy image of dirty, scattered rides and poor service to a real Theme Park. They have top notch shows, animal attractions, roller coasters and kid friendly rides.
In ending, one bad experience from one park you shouldn't judge the whole company from. They are working on a 5 year turnaround and if you are watching you can see the changes happening. It will take a few years for people to change there mind about the parks but in time it will be a good vacation destination. When I am at the parks iv heard countless times people talking about how there season pass was well worth it and they will be back at least once or twice a month for the whole year. Don't write hate articles if you don't know everything going on inside the company.
