I was surprised it took until yesterday for this topic to get a bite! For those of you who are lucky enough to be on the call, what questions are you asking? For those of us who aren't lucky enough to be on it, what questions do you want to hear asked?

How long does he think he will continue being the boss?
Would or could stockholders strong arm him in closing anymore parks?
Will Six Flags ever introduce dark rides?
When will the Tilt-a-Whirl return?
Does he like his boss ?
What's his favorite park in the Chain ? (Sfgam , Sfog, Sfgadv, Sfft, Sfot)
Would they ever consider staying open till Dec again in the northeast or even running the rides in 40 degree weather like Dollywood?
Instead of adding flames and music to an exsiting coaster,  would you consider buying a flat ride package deal from Huss, Chance or zamperla ?
Idk that's it for now.

Oh, what did you do to the Texas Giant !!!

(they don't have to have everything open)

Instead of adding flames and music to an existing coaster,  would you consider buying a flat ride package deal from Huss, Chance or zamperla

Doesn't even need to be a package deal. At least put back a few of the ones we lost!  Magic Mountain is facing a similar problem from what I could see.

Being a parent I have two questions I would like to have answered . One is the FLAT ride issue that our park has . My son not tall enough for all the coasters and too big for the little rides is one of those kids that is sometimes fustrated at the park . Also on the flat ride issue it seems that parks with more flat rides seem to have less waits for the big rollercoasters .
The second question is more a of system wide thing . Our park has parent pass and it is an amazing convience for parents like us with a child too small to ride the big coasters . But when traveling to SF other parks like SFNE and SFA there is no parent pass . Which leaves my question WHY cant we have a universal system for all Six Flags parks ? It works in Disney at all their parks and it works for other chains why not ours ? I am sure other parents who enjoy coasters would use it . Also it is not advertised at all and should be because I feel if people knew it was there they would use it .
That is just my two cents though .

So, for those of you who got the call-backs, did you eventually get chosen for last night's fan call? If so, how was it?

It was great !!! .. Mr. Shapiro was very intrested in everyones comments and made great conversation with everyone . I was very happy to bring up the flat ride situation and he was receptive to that . I mentioned that there was not alot for the kids that are the in-betweens which is from 48in to 54 in .  Which he understood as his 9 year old son is in the same situation . I also spoke of the parent pass . In our park there is a paper pass as with other parks there isn't , Which then means going to wait at the exit and not going to entertain the child somewhere else . I know many are not parents here but for those of us that are this is an issue when going to parks with kids . Mr.Shapiro was very intrested in this and is going to work on having it as a chain wide thing . This kind of shocked me how intrested he was in this . I was very impressed !! Way to go Six Flags !!!

Yeah I was looking over the Screamscape summary and I loved the questions about Great Adventure.

Does anyone know if there's a transcript sitting out somewhere of the entire conversation?
