Good-bye Magic Mountain? Six Flags puts six parks up for sale or closure

Duuude, you’re kidding me with this article. This is going to be horrible if they get rid of Magic. Better get in there while you still can. 6 Parks, wow.

Six Flags announced plans Thursday to sell or close six of its properties, including the chain’s once-flagship park, Magic Mountain, in Valencia, Calif.

In a press release issued after the U.S. stock market closed Thursday, Six Flags announced that it would sell the properties, to either a single buyer or multiple buyers, or that it might sell or redeploy the properties’ attractions, to clear the land for real estate sale.

The six parks on the block are Magic Mountain, Elitch Gardens in downtown Denver, Colorado, Darien Lake near Buffalo, New York, Wild Waves and Enchanted Village outside Seattle, Washington and the waterparks Six Flags Waterworld in Concord and Six Flags Splashdown in Houston.

So one of my favorite parts about my trip to Europe was checking out all the different cars and transportation. Of course this means the smart car. Check out this crash test… I think it fails.

You may be surprised how difficult this quiz is. I got about half right.

A couple favs:

“Hence it is that at the present time the liberal is the great agitator for the complete destruction of America. Whenever we read of attacks against America taking place in any part of the world the liberal is always the instigator.”

and who could forget:

“The foremost connoisseurs of this truth regarding the possibilities in the use of falsehood and slander have always been the liberals…”

Amazing how one transvestite can cause all this fun, ‘aint it?

Two names you don’t normally hear in the same sentence, this is true. No wonder I did a double take at the headline when I saw it. So what’s the first thing the MS execs are doing now that Billy is leaving his throne?

Microsoft tonight announced a new partnership with Creative Commons, the organization dedicated to providing content producers a legal alternative to “all rights reserved” copyright law, to offer a new tool for easy insertion of Creative Commons licenses into works created with Microsoft Office.
