Josh Henderson is the CEO of Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland, Florida. His career path spans the for-profit attractions world, starting as a lifeguard and expanding through roles across water parks and major operators like Six Flags and Great Wolf Lodge, along with leadership in privately funded public parks. Today, he leads a nonprofit natural attraction designed to deliver a high-quality experience without a gate fee, supported by donations and mission-driven revenue. In this interview, Josh talks about being a student of the industry, community dictating the business model, and emerging natural attractions. Being a student of the industry “I think being a student of the industry is starting out in one particular sect and then continuing to move on, and try and learn as much about each discipline as I can, really served me well and helped me grow in my career.” Josh frames his growth as a willingness to expand beyond his original lane. Early on, he was convinced aquatics was his forever path, but as his interests evolved, he leaned into learning disciplines he once avoided, such as food and beverage. That mindset now shows up in how he spends time in outlets, looks for new revenue opportunities, and stays curious about parts of the business he doesn't claim to have mastered. He also shares how he learned by putting himself in rooms where he wasn't the expert: “going into the uncomfortable situations where you're not the smartest person in the room, and and being humble enough to accept that.” Conferences, peer conversations, and surrounding himself with specialists became his playbook for continuous learning, especially in fast-changing areas like marketing. Community dictating the business model “We've allowed the community to dictate part of our business model.” Bonnet Springs Park wasn't designed in a vacuum. The founders conducted focus groups and asked residents what they wanted most. One clear answer shaped a major revenue and experience driver: an event venue that could host hundreds, where people could choose their own caterer. That choice reflects a deeper clue about the park's role: it's meant to serve community needs, not just operator preferences. That same philosophy shows up operationally. Josh describes a difficult mindset shift from maximizing yield to creating shared opportunity, like bringing in authentic food trucks for festivals even when it hurts his margins: “when you're a community park and you're doing something for the betterment of the community, that means giving somebody else a chance to make a dollar as well.” In his view, the park succeeds when the community feels ownership, champions the mission, and participates in sustaining it. Emerging natural attractions “It barely existed when I got into it back in 2017.” Josh positions Bonnet Springs as part of a growing sector that blends nature, placemaking, and attractions-grade operations. He calls it something you almost have to see to understand: a free park that aims to deliver “a paid level experience for free,” with immaculate restrooms, interactive exhibits, and accessibility features like a free internal tram system so guests with mobility challenges can fully enjoy the property. He also links this sector's growth to professionalization: daily inspections, strong documentation, and applying paid-attraction standards to a free environment because attendance and wear-and-tear are so intense. The opportunity, he suggests, is for leaders to think of the attractions world as an umbrella where “good business is good business,” and where creating “family experiences” can look different than building roller coasters while still delivering the emotional outcomes the industry is known for.   Josh shared that people can learn more at BonnetSpringsPark.com.

Michael Calhoun chats with 'Professor Roller Coaster,' Martin Lewison, about a recent trademark filing that could indicate a planned name-change or sale for Six Flags St Louis. Who could the new owner be? Why might they buy only one part of the park?

Six Flags has announced a major debt refinancing, issuing $1.0 billion in senior notes due in 2032 at an 8.625% interest rate to retire bonds coming due in 2027. The move extends the company's debt maturity by five years—but at a high cost. Compared to the retired notes, the new debt increases annual interest expense by roughly $30 million per year, reflecting today's higher-rate environment and investor risk pricing.Six Flags will buy more time, but at an opportunity cost. Every additional dollar of interest expense is a dollar that can't go to staffing, maintenance, marketing, or the guest-facing improvements Six Flags has already said it needs—better food, better operations, better consistency. The bet embedded in this refinancing is that the company's planned investments and operational upgrades will generate more incremental cash flow than the higher interest expense. It may also be the least-bad option available: if the 2027 wall looked risky in the current rate environment, extending maturities reduces near-term refinancing pressure. But it narrows the margin for error—the plan now has to work.That context also frames Six Flags' decision not to exercise its call option on Six Flags Over Texas, citing capital-allocation priorities while still emphasizing the park's long-term importance. And it sits alongside the opening of Six Flags Qiddiya City—a major new park in Saudi Arabia that Six Flags operates (rather than owns) —showing where large-scale growth is still happening, even as capital risk sits elsewhere. Taken together, these moves read as a company prioritizing financial flexibility and survivability. Refinancing doesn't solve the business— it simply extends the runway. The question is whether Six Flags can use that runway to execute fast enough before the higher cost of capital shrinks its room to maneuver.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

Your Stupid Minds is back in 2026 with 1995's Man of the House, part of a crop of mid-90s Disney live action comedies about how hard it is to be a father or whatever. Starring Chevy Chase, Farrah Fawcett, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and George Wendt. After Ben's (JTT) father left the family years ago, he has formed a close bond with his mother Sandy (Fawcett) and is wary of her new fiancé, U.S. Attorney Jack (Chase). In an effort to bond with his future stepson, Jack joins the Indian Guides and befriends a bunch of weirdos, including pack (or whatever, I only know Boy Scout terms) leader Chet (Wendt). Eventually, through the ancient art of being corny as hell, Jack slowly grows a connection with Ben and cracks his cool Six Flags appareled 90s exterior. Meanwhile in a completely different movie, Jack has put away a stereotypical mob guy in prison for fifty years and the bumbling mobster son has vowed revenge. In the climactic finale, the mob son and his doofy capos traipse around the woods of the Pacific Northwest trying to assassinate Clark Griswold like they're in that Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos. Since this is a Disney family comedy, spoiler alert, Chevy Chase isn't assassinated by mobsters.

PROTECTING THE FAMILY AND THE BACKYARD PHOTOGRAPH Colleague Paul Gregory. Following the assassination, Oswald's mother, Marguerite, contacted Pete Gregory seeking shelter for herself and Marina. Petecoordinated with the Secret Service to move the women to a hotel at Six Flags to protect them from the press and facilitate interrogation. Authorities were particularly focused on a photo of Oswald holding a rifle; Marina initially hesitated to admit she took it, fearing legal consequences. Pete Gregory helped bridge the trust gap between Marina and the Secret Service. The situation escalated when the family learned Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. Marguerite and Marina were taken to Parkland Hospital to view his body, after which Marguerite began demanding he be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. NUMBER 5

Six Flags Magic Mountain has delayed its highly anticipated “first-of-its-kind” coaster to 2027, citing the attraction's complexity and a commitment to quality. The project—reported to be a Vekoma Thrill Glider—was part of the company's broader $1 billion investment plan and would have been the park's first major coaster addition since 2022.At the same time, Six Flags confirmed a significant pivot toward family-focused IP with the announcement of Looney Tunes Land, a fully reimagined children's area opening in summer 2026 with upgraded storytelling, expanded green space, new theming, and refreshed dining.Taken together, these moves raise questions about where Six Flags is placing its near-term bets. Coasters are increasingly expensive and time-intensive to build, and ongoing tariff uncertainty may be influencing capital timelines. The decision to prioritize Looney Tunes—rather than Peanuts—could also signal a push toward IP diversification tied to Warner Bros., especially as broader questions remain about how Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm will coexist and differentiate within the same Southern California market.We explore whether this reflects a temporary pause on thrill-heavy investments, a reorientation toward families and reliability, or simply a pragmatic sequencing of projects while the company navigates post-merger integration and external pressures. We also touch briefly on winter and holiday programming that caught our attention, including China's massive Ice-Snow World and Alton Towers' Santa Sleepover in the U.K., as operators worldwide look for ways to stabilize attendance across unpredictable seasons.

Netflix announced plans to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery in a $72 billion deal—only to face an immediate hostile counterbid from Paramount. Either path would take months, if not years, to resolve and must clear regulatory and shareholder hurdles. But even at this early stage, the implications for themed entertainment are significant.Warner Bros. currently licenses its characters across a wide theme park footprint, including Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, Movie World, and major IP deployments at Six Flags. Universal relies heavily on Warner Bros., most notably through Harry Potter. Control of Warner Bros. doesn't just mean streaming libraries—it means leverage over some of the most nostalgia-driven areas in global parks.If Netflix ultimately prevails, Warner Bros. IP would sit inside a company already experimenting with location-based entertainment through Netflix House—a flexible, free-entry model designed to rotate IP quickly and respond to audience data. That pairing could accelerate Netflix's ability to move franchises from screen to physical space without relying on traditional park operators. Paramount, by contrast, has shown little interest in themed entertainment and appears focused on consolidating legacy media assets, including cable networks Netflix doesn't want.The biggest risk may sit with Comcast. Universal could find itself flanked on two sides: continuing to license Warner Bros. IP while competing against a vertically integrated Netflix that can deploy its own brands directly into physical spaces. While nothing changes overnight, the long-term balance of power between IP owners, licensors, and operators could shift sharply depending on who controls Warner Bros.—and how aggressively they choose to use it.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

From queue changes to construction walls to nighttime lagoon testing, the parks offer plenty to parse this week. The guys then pivot from the Epic Universe lagoon to Universal's classic monsters, using the buzz around Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein to explore how the 1931 film lurched into existence. Expect lost projects, studio pivots, and a Monster role Bela Lugosi famously refused. NEWS • VelociCoaster ends its single rider line, likely due to party sorting and load-efficiency issues. • Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly shopping DC theme park rights to Universal, raising big questions for Marvel, Six Flags, and international parks. • Removal of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit sparks speculation, though new construction-wall posters suggest general theming rather than a specific IP. • Nighttime testing at the Epic Universe lagoon shows projection effects featuring a bird-or-dragon silhouette. • Universal Studios Hollywood opens sales for FanFest Nights and a late-night New Year's Eve event, prompting questions about noise control before Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift debuts. FEATURE • Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating Frankenstein began as a Universal concept more than a decade ago. • Jim walks through how Universal's early monster era took shape under financial pressure following the 1929 crash. • The studio acquired stage rights to Frankenstein after Dracula's success, initially planning it for Bela Lugosi, who rejected the role. • The episode ends as Universal begins hunting for a new star, eventually leading James Whale to discover Boris Karloff in the studio lunchroom.

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Vulture's Nicholas Quah to discuss his and Savannah Salazar's piece on what Netflix might do with Warner Bros.'s tie-ins with Universal Studios and Six Flags, and then expanded the conversation to consider the vast universe of WB's entanglements. The studio also owns an enormous video game company, the second-biggest comic book company in DC Comics, and all sorts of other stuff. What is Netflix going to do with all these disparate pieces? Who knows! But we do some rank speculation.

Pasko and I continue our wide-ranging discussion on comics, television, and animation — expanding into old-time TV, behind-the-scenes film and show business, and the sometimes surprising roots of comic-book properties. They talk about the portrayal of Wonder Woman — including the editorial pressures and controversies surrounding her early stories under creator William Moulton Marston.Pasko reflects on his role in cataloguing and curating the vast history of DC Comics — discussing how the company's characters and features were compiled and preserved over decades. They reminisce about classic TV series and actors — stories involving old television stars like Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers), Jack Klugman (Quincy) , Clayton Moore (the original TV Lone Ranger), and the once-infamous playmate/actress Dorothy Stratton. There's also talk about other showbiz ventures related to comics — old-school TV adaptations, live-action attractions (like the ones from Six Flags featuring DC characters), and the interplay between comics, film, and television in shaping popular culture.

Six Flags has appointed John Reilly as its new CEO—a leader who spent 21 years at SeaWorld and later held top roles at Palace Entertainment, the parent company of regional parks like Kennywood and Lake Compounce. Philip and Scott discuss why that résumé matters: Reilly comes from chains where executives wear multiple hats, work with tight budgets, and operate parks that feel far closer to the “scrappy” reality of Six Flags than the polished, expert-driven models of Disney or Universal. The hosts argue that this is exactly the kind of background a merged Six Flags–Cedar Fair company needs. With the chain in a cash-constrained moment and unlikely to embark on sweeping reinventions, the next CEO must be someone comfortable operating without endless capital—and capable of executing a plan that already exists but has repeatedly stalled. Reilly isn't tied to either legacy culture, which Scott notes is a benefit: this is a new company, and bringing in someone from the outside avoids the baggage of “old Six Flags” or “old Cedar Fair.” Philip and Scott also briefly address the DOJ inquiry into United Parks' mobility-device policy, noting that while it may generate headlines, it isn't likely to have a meaningful industry-wide impact. The real story this week is whether Six Flags' new leadership can finally move the merged company from planning to performance. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

John and Chino explore the dramatic rise of megachurch culture and how American consumerism reshaped faith into a spectacle. They compare intimate home-based congregations with today’s oversized entertainment venues, asking whether the push for bigness has come at the cost of discipleship, accountability, and authentic community. With humor and candor, they share personal experiences from cult exits to high-tech worship environments that feel more like sci-fi productions than spiritual gatherings. They also dig into the historical roots behind the phenomenon—from the early revivalists to the strategic church-growth movement—and expose how power, money, and celebrity have created a modern cult of personality. This conversation challenges listeners to consider what truly defines a healthy church and whether the biggest churches might be obscuring the smallest, most essential aspects of faith.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg – Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books

Stay for the bad takes by Hyde on saying a certain chain won’t buy any more parks... Read more » The post Who wants to buy a park? appeared first on In the Loop.

Rod and Karen banter about the Bald Brothers show, “We the People” tattoos and funny kitchen dad jokes. Then they discuss flights being canceled because of the government shutdown, Donald Trump promises $2,000, Trump wants an NFL stadium named after him, Six Flags closing in MD, Maine almanac goes out of business, household debt at a record high, man does arson to pay off credit card debt, nephew threatens to shoot uncle, men busted running fight club and sword ratchetness.

Fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to chart-topping singer D4vd — but what happened between the day she disappeared and the moment that car was opened has remained one of the most disturbing mysteries of 2025. In this new Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski breakdown, we go through everything the private investigator on the case, Steve Fischer, has revealed so far — what's confirmed, what's speculation, and what could change everything. From the Build-A-Bear certificate dated just days after Celeste was first reported missing… to a Six Flags roller-coaster video filmed the very same day… to items discovered inside a Hollywood Hills rental home that Fischer says “had no place being there,” this episode lays out the timeline of red flags and unanswered questions piece by piece. We separate what's officially verified by police from what's alleged by the investigator — and explore Fischer's working theory that Celeste's death may have been an accidental overdose followed by a devastating cover-up. No arrests. No suspects. No final cause of death. Just a 14-year-old girl, a celebrity's Tesla, and a silence that keeps getting louder. If you care about truth, accountability, and the systems that fail vulnerable kids, this is the one you need to hear.

Self-described “lifelong Six Flags fan" Travis Kelce has invested in theme park company. On Tuesday, Oct. 21, New York City-based investment firm JANA Partners announced it is working with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, and other high-profile business people to "enhance shareholder value and improve the guest experience" at Six Flags theme parks. Concerns over AI surveillance in schools are intensifying after armed officers swarmed a 16-year-old student outside Kenwood High School in Baltimore when an AI gun detection system falsely flagged a Doritos bag as a firearm. A Turkish man's divorce from his ex-wife has set a legal precedent in the country's court system because he saved her name as ‘Chubby' in his phone's contacts.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump has apparently been demanding $230 million from the Justice Department since 2023—yes, taxpayer money—to “compensate” him for federal investigations into his conduct, including the Russia probe. He filed formal claims alleging his rights were violated, because of course he did. Meanwhile, his much-hyped meeting with Vladimir Putin is officially off, after both sides admitted the gap between Russia and Ukraine is too wide to bridge. In other Trump-adjacent chaos, a pardoned January 6th rioter was arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after texting about his plans. Luckily, the person he texted tipped off the police. Elsewhere, ICE's weapons budget has exploded—up 700% from last year, now topping $70 million on guns, armor, chemical weapons, and even guided missile parts. Because nothing says “immigration enforcement” like missile warheads. Over at the Pentagon, War Secretary Pete Hegseth just issued a new rule requiring staff to get his approval before talking to Congress—an unprecedented move critics say is meant to muzzle oversight.  The FTC quietly scrubbed blog posts about AI from its website—pieces written by former chair Lina Khan that warned about consumer risks and praised open-source models. No explanation given. And finally, in the week's least expected crossover, Travis Kelce is teaming up with a hedge fund to take over Six Flags, buying a 9% stake worth around $200 million. The self-proclaimed theme park superfan sent shares soaring 18%. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: NYT: Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept.
