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.

Louis Carr has been with BET for 37 years, serving as the President of Media Sales for the  last 21 years. During his tenure with the company, Carr has transformed the multicultural  space for some of the world's biggest brands and stimulated over $10B in advertising  sales. Through strategic partnerships with corporations like Procter & Gamble, Unilever,  McDonald's, General Motors, Facebook, Apple, and many more, he has been a guide  and a consultant on opportunities that exist within black and brown communities.  Through his deep understanding of linear TV, digital and social platforms, he has made  BET Networks the number one brand and choice for Black consumers. Carr's mantra,  "Be led by data and insights," has driven BET to have the largest repository of information  on Black consumers than any other media company worldwide. His understanding of  this data has inspired him to create content and messages that help marketers sell  products and services and help them become good corporate citizens.   In addition to Carr's stellar professional career, he has had a long-term commitment to  young people and his community. Carr founded the Louis Carr Internship Foundation  (LCIF) 20 years ago to help improve diversity in corporate America through paid  internships.

Staying true to his commitment of giving back,  Carr launched his latest brand called WayMaker. He purposed this initiative to help  provide direction, wisdom and inspiration to people wanting to grow their life and  change the world. Through the quarterly WayMaker Journal and other avenues, the  umbrella brand offers insight from subject matter experts across a wide range of fields.  He has also created WayMaker Mens's Summit (formerly known as The Blueprint Men's  Summit) and The Blueprint Connect Podcast, which bring together some of Black America's high profile thought leaders to educate Black men in the areas of Finance,  Health, Careers, Relationships, and Entrepreneurship.   Carr has authored two books, Dirty Little Secrets and Little Black Book: Daily Motivations  for Business and Personal Growth.
