	Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, Ohio
		Six flags although there is a nice ride selection is a dirty smelly dump.
		They have a good advertising ploy with the six Flags name and the combination of the old sea world of ohio, the variety is there but its and tight park with narrow paths from ride to ride, also it seems like the rides are either always broke or they are to lazy to open them.
		Six Flags is a great park, even though the theming is a bit babyish.

	Six Flags - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Six Flags NYSE: PKS is a chain of amusement parks and theme parks headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and New York City.
		The Six Flags chain began in 1961 with the creation of Six Flags Over Texas by Angus G. Wynne at Arlington in Tarrant County, which featured (in the beginning) a Native American village, a gondola ride, a railroad, some Wild West shows, a stagecoach ride, and "Skull Island", a pirate-themed adventure attraction.
		On September 12, 2005, Six Flags announced that it was closing its legendary Six Flags Astroworld theme park in Houston, Texas, at the end of the 2005 season in October, citing issues such as the park's performance, and parking issues involving the Houston Texans football team, Reliant Stadium, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

		In respect to the roller coasters, Six Flags is regularly one to two minutes slower at loading coasters than other parks.
		Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey was the worst offender, with 9 adult rides closed, including 3 coasters.

	Orca Controversy at Six Flags in Ohio - World Society for the Protection of Animals
		WSPA is fighting to stop the importation of two killer whales by Six Flags' Worlds of Adventure theme park in Ohio.
		Perhaps the most significant red flag raised concerning Six Flags' request to obtain two new killer whales for their facility is the recent deaths of two killer whales living under the care of Six Flags management.
		If Six Flags is permitted to bring this killer whale to their facility in Ohio, and if he survives the stress of transport, Kshamenk will be forever locked into a life of captivity.

	Travel: Amusement Parks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		For Cedar Point, Paramount's Kings Island and Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, investing big money in new rides and attractions is an annual ritual of one- upsmanship, a frenzied competition for the next big thing as they try to grab the shortening attention spans of their visitors.
		Six Flags is undergoing a $ 40 million face lift of its own, two years after it rebranded Geauga Lake and then acquired Sea World from Anheuser- Busch Corp. for $ 110 million.
		Cedar Point also is second in its number of rides, with 68, behind another Six Flags property, Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. Any details of new coasters will come later rather than sooner, because amusement parks tend to guard their works in progress as if they were critical to the national defense.

		Six Flags was not exactly in the best financial shape, either, as they spent so much only to watch the economy plummet and people find less-expensive means of entertaining themselves.
		Worlds of Adventure, being only about an hour from Cedar Point, had to compete in the very same market, one which is not nearly large enough to provide enough people for a Knott’s/Magic Mountain relationship.
		Six Flags should have let someone else grab Jazzland so that Elitch Gardens, a park with a lot more history than most of the Six Flags parks, might get to move to an even larger area where there was an excessive amount of land so that expansion would never be a problem again.
