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.

Reinvention with Heart: Ann Mracek on Creating Purpose-Driven Work EP 103

Your Employment Matters with Beverly Williams

In this episode of Your Employment Matters, host Beverly Williams speaks with Ann Mracek, an author, musician, performer, and content creator whose life is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and creative purpose. Ann's story is anything but traditional. Once a piano prodigy preparing to debut with a symphony at 16, her career trajectory was suddenly and violently altered by a devastating car accident that crushed her top vertebra. Told she might be paralyzed, Ann chose a different path, one of relentless healing, visualization, and personal strength. Just two years later, she was singing and dancing on stage at Six Flags. That remarkable comeback became a pattern. Throughout her career, Ann has consistently adapted, reinvented, and created opportunities from scratch. Her journey includes: Turning talent into entrepreneurship—from teaching piano as a teen to launching a music studio, dance troupe, and later, interactive children's theater productions. Using trauma as creative fuel—her book Unpacking the Attic: A Path to Healing Your Inner Child explores childhood pain and healing through memory, reflection, and forgiveness. Building a YouTube channel with global impact—My Best Friends Live in the Woods blends storytelling, original music, and mindfulness teachings for both kids and adults, now with over 160,000 subscribers. Creating every job she's ever held—except for one early performance job, Ann has imagined, launched, and built each opportunity she's pursued, often combining her creative talents with business savvy. Central to Ann's philosophy is a commitment to service and collaboration. “Be of service,” she emphasizes in the conversation. “Always offer what you have, your talents, your energy, your time. The return will be far greater than the gift.” Ann's journey reminds listeners that success isn't limited by setbacks. Rather, it's defined by how one responds to them. From injury and loss to new ventures and renewed purpose, she continues to inspire by living a life rooted in passion, persistence, and generosity. For anyone navigating a career crossroads, Ann Mracek's story is a compelling reminder: reinvention is possible, creativity is powerful, and joy is worth pursuing.

Herschend finalized its acquisition of Palace Entertainment's 24 U.S. attractions with a $1.1 billion leveraged loan—and vows 2025 will be a “listening year” before sprinkling Dollywood-style cinnamon bread and “Heartspitality” across Kennywood, Lake Compounce, and 47 other properties. Meanwhile, Six Flags fired every park president overnight, favoring a regional management model instead of a local one. We unpack whether family culture can outshine heavy debt, how a headless org might finally smash Six Flags' notorious silos, and why both moves reshape the post-merger map where just four companies now control most regional parks.

"The Great Reset," Six Flags' new strategic plan, aims to reach 58 million in annual attendance and $3.8 billion in revenue by 2028. The 88-slide presentation boils down to one thing: a better product makes more money. The plan gives concrete examples of what industry professionals have known for decades—improving the guest experience means guests will want to come back and spend more, convert to annual passes, bring their friends, and grow market penetration. And Six Flags has laid out an excellent plan, complete with benchmarks, examples, and research. But - can the newly merged mega-chain deliver? It sounds simple, but executing doesn't always work out.

At the same time, Marriott's Gaylord resorts are turning their glass atriums into mini-comic-cons with a DC-branded summer slate, headlined by a 17,500-sq-ft lantern trail of 24-ft heroes, to lure families who might skip a theme-park trip.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser proposed repealing Initiative 82 earlier this week, reigniting the fight over D.C.'s tipped minimum wage law. But given that voters passed the measure twice, the mayor could have trouble getting support from the D.C. Council. Chairman Phil Mendelson got behind the mic to give his thoughts.He said overturning Initiative 82 again is politically difficult for the council. "I have to see where the members are going to be," Mendelson said. "And at the moment, I don't think the members are supporting repeal." He said he still opposes I-82, but he is going to leave it to Mayor Bowser to take the lead in lobbying his council colleagues.We also asked about the mayor's proposed deal with the Washington Commanders. The nearly $4 billion deal to build a new football complex as well a large area of development at the RFK stadium, with the city contributing just over a billion dollars. Mendelson has opposed taxpayer funding for such projects in the past. We asked what would sweeten the deal for him and skeptical council colleagues, who ultimately need to approve the deal.  If the agreement gets the green light, the Washington Commanders would depart their Prince George's County home. County leaders have long prepared for the possibility. Prince George's County Council President Edward Burroughs weighed in and tells us what options could be on the table for the site. Developers are already pitching county leaders on what's next. "I have seen some of the proposals, some of their renderings, and they honestly look a lot better than the stadium, to be quite honest with you," Burroughs said. "And so it's, still in the early stages, but we look forward to working with them." The Commanders have entered an agreement with Prince George's County to demolish the old stadium within 90 days of the team's first home game at the new site.In addition, the county also looks likely to lose the new FBI headquarters. Also, we asked him why the closing of Six Flags in Bowie is a big deal, and how the county is planning to make up a $170 million budget shortfall.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

This week on the MalloryBros Podcast, the Bros kick off with Terrance being caught off guard by the phenomenon of ghost kitchens—he thought he was ordering from a beloved local spot, but things didn't go as planned. They dive into the news that their favorite childhood Six Flags is closing, sparking a nostalgic reflection on the spaces we all grew up with. Then, the Terrance breaks down his latest NBA bracket updates and discusses the high expectations surrounding the upcoming WNBA Season. Terrell puts Terrance in the HOT SEAT. As Terrance grapples with his feelings about Kanye, Terrell asks him the tough question: Is he still a fan? Next, the conversation gets deep as they examine why some fans hold on for so long to their favorite celebrities, even when the relationship has clearly shifted. The Bros take a playful turn with a “One Gotta Go” segment, where they challenge each other to give up something for an entire year. The conversation then turns to "Destination Addiction," with the Bros exploring the different layers of our obsessions and the people who fuel them. They get into what it really means to be addicted to people, to stacking up achievements, and to climbing the so-called “clifftop” of success. Wrapping up, the Bros reflect on the message of love and the importance of staying true to yourself in the face of it all. Your 9 is unique!

With a career spanning more than 30 years in the attractions industry, Dameon has held numerous operational and leadership roles across several Six Flags parks, including Great America, Great Adventure, Discovery Kingdom, and an international post in Beijing, China. Most recently, he worked with Meow Wolf to support operational standardization in their immersive art experiences. In this interview, Dameon talks about Mindset, Motivation, and Mastery, Embracing Change, and Putting Value in Your Team. Mindset, Motivation, and Mastery “You have to be motivated to have meaningful conversations and meaningful discussions with the hope of resolving challenges, or realizing opportunities that can be created as well.” Dameon describes mindset as a critical, yet often overlooked, element in leadership. He emphasizes that leaders must choose how they perceive and approach challenges—whether they allow problems to persist or actively seek solutions. He believes motivation fuels the pursuit of those solutions, not just for oneself but for inspiring others. Mastery, in his view, is about empowering team members to align with values and expectations, not just in theory, but through effective execution. He shared how, in a challenging environment plagued with negativity, he personally committed to understanding the team's frustrations, motivating them through action, and leading them toward improvement—illustrating how mindset, motivation, and mastery intersect to drive positive change. Embracing Change “It's easy to do what you know. But when you get the opportunity to step outside of that and understand that there will be challenges... that, I think, is a mindset that is always beneficial to have.” Dameon's career is a blueprint for embracing change. From his first role as a street sweeper to moving across the world to support Six Flags' international projects, he repeatedly stepped outside his comfort zone. He explains that while some individuals are naturally more open to change, everyone should be willing to pursue it when it benefits their personal or professional growth. His time in Beijing taught him patience, cultural understanding, and the value of vulnerability—especially in moments where progress was difficult. By keeping an open mind and maintaining confidence in his abilities, he was able to navigate uncertainty and unfamiliar environments while continuing to grow as a leader. Putting Value in Your Team “Budgets are built in a boardroom and reality is executed out in the parks.” Dameon challenges the idea of viewing employees as mere expenditures. He advocates for seeing labor and operational resources as investments in guest experience, team morale, and long-term success. He shares several stories, including one where a small, inexpensive investment in costume replacements made a significant impact on team morale. He explains that while it may be difficult to prove direct ROI on such investments, the benefits show up in improved guest satisfaction, reduced turnover, and increased engagement. By asking questions like “How can I help?” and demonstrating vulnerability and support, Dameon fosters trust and shows that even minimal investments can yield disproportionate value for both staff and guests.

[EP 25-153] I'm never unamazed by the stupidity of Democrats. Fascinating animals. The things that impress them boggles the sane mind. They could not care less about reality and success. For them, it's smoke and mirrors. That is my theme for this hour. And I have plenty of examples.For example, the all-female space crew… A group of high-profile Leftist women boarded a fully automated ship that NONE of them flew. As one observer put it, “This wasn't some kind of game changing breakthrough, it was the world's priciest Six Flags ride.” But the idea of these all being WOMEN is my first thought. How do we know this was ALL women? What we do know is there were NO pilots? No real astronauts. Just another Leftist photo op over nothing.
