LOL. So Six Flags became One Flag? Isn’t that like Burger King dropping the “Burger?”

Sounds like a good time to SHORT Six Flags, I guess.

One would think these IDIOT BUSINESS OWNERS would know who butters their bread...

...Is this real..

There are several outlets going with the story.

I don’t think it’s a hoax.
