Everything else goes here, including discussion of parks outside of Carowinds and any off-topic discussion

Wasn't too sure what to call this thread but I just have to ask a quick question.

Does anyone know if either Jim Reid Anderson or Matt Ouimet have ever commented on their competitor's parks/rides or do the Six Flags and Cedar Fair cooperations just choose not to acknowledge each other? I've tried to find interviews of both the CEO's/cooperations thoughts on each other but have found nothing. Anyone know anything?

I assume both are professionals and would decline to comment on any questions like that. When you start saying things about a competitor is when your foot often ends up in your mouth.

Cant answer your original question but I can assure you it's not like the crips vs. bloods in the theme park business. Often you will see people from each park visit their competitors parks. They realize, collectively, there is more than enough money to go around. They all learn from each other and actually help. For instance, when Diagon Alley open at universal studios, a lot of Disney executives were given exclusive tours of the area.
