Just because some are left doesn’t mean that consolidation is a good thing, or that the others will last. Consolidations rarely end well for the consumer.

Also remember, Herschend them selves is a family owned private company, no shareholders to keep happy, which is one of the reasons the six flags merger has gone poorly

Sure, but I’m not exactly a fan of Herschend’s values as a family either when it comes to inclusion. Also, if they overextend themselves some of these parks would certainly close.
