Sounds like Six Flags will no longer be the lone big dog in the amusement park industry. Hopefully, Cedar Fair will continue its upkeep and operation record now that it is much bigger. Also, lets hope they remove 90% of the brakes at Kings Island--Although they never removed them from Mean Streak, so I am not holding my breath.
