Podcasts about Cedar Fair

Six Flags and Cedar Fair's $8 billion mash-up, Herschend's shopping spree, and Falcon's Beyond devouring Oceaneering are just the opening salvo in a consolidation wave now squeezing most regional parks into four corporate camps. But deal-making is only the first of five seismic shifts Philip and Scott unpack this week. They probe why per-guest spending keeps climbing even as attendance flattens, how velvet-rope up-charges like Disneyland's $400 Premier Pass and Six Flags' $162-a-month Flash Pass are normalizing class tiers, and why every operator—from Universal's Fan Fest Nights to SeaWorld's Coasters After Dark—now treats shoulder-season festivals as its loyalty engine. The hosts also tackle staffing's post-pandemic “cool-down” and ask whether AI-driven scheduling and on-site dorms finally solve the labor puzzle. Think you've already future-proofed your park? These five trends say otherwise. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.
