Listen "Six Flags Plans More Park Closures — Here’s Why It Makes Sense"
Episode Synopsis
Three companies, one economic reality—and three very different responses. Six Flags is doubling down on its “smaller and more nimble” plan, prioritizing core parks and openly confirming that more closures or sales are coming. United Parks & Resorts (SeaWorld/Busch Gardens) is battling brand confusion after a 25% profit drop, citing weather and marketing challenges while its Halloween events hit record highs. Meanwhile, Disneyland Resort announced 100 layoffs as part of an “organizational recalibration,” even as its parks remain packed and profitable. Philip and Scott unpack how each company’s move reflects a different playbook for survival: consolidation, rebranding, and recalibration. The big question—whose strategy will actually work?
