| | | Parks that could be defunct within five to ten years.
Simple. What parks do you think will not be around in 5-10 years.
I'd say Hard Rock Park would be on that list.

| | | I am not sure which ones. But if six flags doesn't turn around it may divest itself of its' most unprofitable park(s). I have been impressed with the new president though. Hopefully, they will all remain open. |

| | | I would not mind if CGA closed. Maybe they would send Firefall & Deleruim to Carowinds. I would also love to have our wave swinger back so they can bring that here as well and replace that joke of a ride YoYo. Or move YoYo somewhere else.

| | | That's easy, Hard Rock Park. Shoot I barely give it two years, let alone any longer. All parks that were sold by Six Flags (In the US only) are pretty much in jeopardy too, IMO. California Great America was in jeopardy not long ago of their land being sold. That idea still has not been ruled out either. So I will put them on the list also.

| | | Disagree with "the parks SF sold"
I went to Darien Lake last fall after it was no longer a Six Flags park.. And there were way more people in the park than my 2005 trip to the park (when it was still under the Six Flags name) - Also Frontier City doesn't seem to be doing too bad, although I've never been so I can't say for sure.

| | | I think Six Flags signed an Agreement with PARC Management that They will operate for 20+ Years and 3 10 Year Renewal Oppertunities.
Btw, James I thought of Chessington because within 10-20 Miles of the Park are 2 Parks owned by the Same Owner (Merlin Entertainments) which are Legoland and Thorpe Park. Chessington was modifield into a Kids Park when Thorpe was Purchased and with Legoland as a Kids/ Family Park. I wonder. |

Darien Lake may be doing good but how about we look at Elitch Gardens and former SFWOA. Elitch Gardens is land locked, which means expansion is not possible. AKA, a substantial amount of new GOOD rides will be minimal at best. SFWOA, well we know what happened to that place. Frontier City; never been, but we all can agree that it isn't on most peoples list of places to visit, unless they live close to the area.
