I only gave it a B-Class rating because almost all of the content is listed in one section (History), and the rest of the article is listings. The lists should probably be put on a separate page (such as See List of Six Flags parks). Also, the "News" section is not very encyclopedic. If anyone wants to take a crack at fixing this, please do so. I may get around to doing it later. Feel free to disagree with me. -Jcembree 04:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

regarding the Six Flags: This is not "alleged." The following flags have flown over the state of Texas at one point of time or another: Spain, France, Mexico, The Republic of Texas, The United States and the Confederate States of America.

[edit] Article

Based on this article, http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/11687695.htm, Six Flags is most likely banning all sex offenders from their parks. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "mainly due to 9/11"

Why do you say that SF's debt is attributed to 9/11? Everyone knows that 9/11 overall helped hurt the US economy. Therefore I removed it and I don't think it should be put back (unless there is a specific reason SF was hurt by 9/11.)

[edit] Trivia

It states "the population". Population of what?

  • --- Population of the United States, sorry forgot to put that.

I asked for a citation on the passes offered for eating a cockroach during Fear Fest. I've never heard of this particular promotion.

[edit] Six Flags Darien Lake

I looked but could not find the name of Darien Lake's water park. Anyone know the actual name?

It doesn't use any particular name, the sections of it are called Hook's Lagoon, Crocodile Isle and Barracuda Bay, but it doesn't use the generic Six Flags moniker of "Hurrican Harbor." Zotdragon 15:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Darien Lake's water park is completely included with the park, and is not a seperate entity of any kind. Therefore there isn't a complete "name" and no reason to list it seperately on the site. ClarkCT 05:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Six Flags New Orleans

At this point, the company still owns and has rights to operate Six Flags New Orleans. I see no reason to put it under 'formerly owned/operated'. Just because it is currently closed doesn't mean they don't still own the park.

[edit] PARC Operations References

I won't edit the page because I prefer to stick to my local pages (Darien Lake), but FYI: to edit your wiki links as you see fit, articles now exist on the following as shown:
