Six Flags declared bankruptcy. The parks will remain open but will hereby be called "Two and a Half Flags."
Could this have something to do with the racist Asian stereotype spokesman that tarnished their national image? See previous WHS post.
I noticed last month, ads for Six Flags included a new (old) spokesperson - the previously featured 'creepy geriatric burn victim'

We were also considering the title "Six Flags over Bankruptcyville" or "Six Flags, No Flags, No Fun, No More."

The creepy mascot and the racist Asian spelled doom for Six Flags. It was only a matter of time before people would be a) creeped out beyond belief at the fake, old man and b) so offended at racial stereotyping that attendance would just be crushed.
If anyone's ever been to Great Adventure, you can see that the place is full of grandparents and minorities. To risk losing those visitor sets via frightening and insulting advertisements was a risk too great.
