 So, most of you have already probably heard the news that Six Flags and Cedar Fair are having talks, or we're having talks this afternoon, about a possible merger deal, and it is rumored that it could be as early as this week, maybe even tomorrow or today, depending on the day you're listening to this video, that Cedar Fair announces some sort of announcement on their quarterly conference call plans, or a sale, or purchase more likely, involving Six Flags. So, I'm going to talk about kind of like how I feel, some things that I might know a little bit about. I'm going to be honest, I received some information about Canada's Wonderland about three days ago, and it makes a lot more sense now with the news that broke today on Yahoo, and from WSJ. So, essentially, what we know so far is there were rumblings in the industry about Cedar Fair and Six Flags discussing a merger deal again. I know this is about the second time this has happened publicly, and we further have heard that it is Cedar Fair seeking to purchase Six Flags. So that isn't 100% confirmed, though, by the way. So take that with a grain of salt. But with that said, from what I've heard from my sources at Canada's Wonderland, it does make sense. So I've heard some details that Canada's Wonderland full-time employees are essentially receiving new benefits packages starting next year, some very serious benefit package changes. So that kind of aligns with some of the rumors of this. So if Cedar Fair is going to be purchasing a much larger company, you would essentially need to move people around, give more incentive to stay, etc. But I also want to touch on the fact that on the Q2 stockholders call, Cedar Fair did hint to all of us that they were in a place to start seeking to buy properties. Now when they said that on the call, I was thinking that they would scoop up one or two properties and that they weren't alluding to essentially a merger deal with Six Flags. So it's definitely a lot larger of a purchase than I would have ever expected. And I'm not necessarily sure it's going to be a purchase. Again, I can't fully speak on exactly how this merger would take place and who would be in charge. Would it still essentially be all of Cedar Fair's current executives in charge, or would some of the Six Flags people move over? Now this is where it's going to become 100% opinionated. And if you are a Six Flags fan, I am going to offend you. And to be honest, you could counter me in the comment section down below all you want. But I do not give a crap. Your Six Flags as a company is literally a piece of crap. And I would not want them touching Canada's Wonderland with a 800 foot poll. So I am really hoping that on the conference call tomorrow at 10 a.m. when I'm listening, that we hear that it is Cedar Fair. Because regardless of how you look at things, Cedar Fair truly does build a better product. They really do. They build a much well more themed product. They build a better atmosphere and they offer a better product. I 100% also think that Six Flags does not know what they're doing. The current CEO, the new one, I think is a joke hopping back and forth between decision making in a time when you shouldn't be doing that is a sign of weakness to me. And I don't want that running either company as well. So I would love to see what Cedar Fair has to offer running some of these Six Flags parks. Now with that being said, some of these Six Flags parks and Cedar Fair parks, if a merger does take place, do sit really close. So it would be really interesting to see which parks they choose to sell off because I'm sorry for those of you that are fingers crossed that this company comes out with every single park in the Cedar Fair side and Six Flags side intact. That's not what's going to happen. There are going to be some sales, whether it be to developers, whether it be the parks get sold to different companies. Although the financial outlook in the industry is exactly what's led to this merger or is what is leading to this merger idea. So I'm not quite sure who would come in and scoop up some of these parks. So again, it could end up being sold to developers in the end. But nonetheless, it is a really scary situation for both Six Flags fans and Cedar Fair fans. And I feel like this is becoming an almost bi-yearly topic of discussion. And I definitely wasn't expecting it at all. So I am shocked. But a few key things is I definitely think we're going to see this merger take place. A lot of the American parks did very poorly this season. And the economic downturn hasn't even taken place yet. And it is coming. And I think that what you have seen in a lot of those articles about why this merger discussion has taken place is true. We saw it at a lot of the Six Flags parks, especially. Located in a little less, you know, I'm not going to touch on that. But essentially Six Flags Great Adventure was one of those parks that experienced a really poor season. I also have heard rumors that Six Flags Magic Mountain had a really slow season, which makes sense because Knott's Berry Farm also had a really slow season. We also know Carolin's Cedar Fair Park had a really slow season as well. So it's no wonder why these two chains might be coming together to merge. It gives them a lot of power in pricing and kind of becoming that conglomerate company in owning the industry. So if you have all those Six Flags parks and Cedar Fair parks working together under one umbrella, they essentially aren't competing against each other anymore. It allows them to invest less. It allows them to price exactly how they want to price. It gives them extreme, again, key words, pricing power in terms of the product they have to offer, the events they are going to offer, and preventing any further competition from entering the market around these parks, even though it is already extremely difficult for a new chain or new company to come in and build a theme park. Nowadays it's essentially like a multi-billion dollar project to even get a small footprint park in the ground, but it is going to be really interesting. I'm excited to see what happens on the stockholders' call tomorrow. Very well, we could get no information at all, so please keep that in mind as well. But I definitely am hoping Cedar Fair is going to run the company. I definitely hope that we get to keep some of the Cedar Fair parks and Six Flags parks that I have on my list that they would be first to go. Obviously I don't want any parks to go, but unfortunately with such a large purchase and thing, as you saw, things just get sold. But this could be good news for CGA, by the way. I see light at the end of the tunnel for California's Great America if this merger takes place. There might be lucrative cash or free cash flow in order to maybe even just change their mind about that sale of land, and they might even buy that back. Because again, I don't see why Cedar Fair would want to get rid of their warm market parks like CGA. I see why they would like this merger deal as well. I see Cedar Fair eyeing those Texas parks exponentially. I definitely think that Cedar Fair would treat those Texas parks like royalty. So I think those are some key things. If you're Six Flags and your home park is those Texas parks, I think that Cedar Fair would invest a lot of time, money, and energy into your park, which I think would do wonders. So definitely some positives. There are definitely a lot of negatives as well, but I'll save that for after the stockholders call. I just wanted to give you guys my quick thoughts on everything, and I know I am biased. I'm not the greatest Six Flags fan out there. I am 100% a Cedar Fair fanboy. But yeah, anyways, hopefully you enjoyed my thoughts on this and any discussion that I had to provide on the matter. But yeah, stay tuned. I will provide my Cedar Fair stockholders call analysis at around 12 1pm tomorrow or today if you're watching. So Thursday. But yeah, thanks so much for watching guys. Have a good one. Bye.
