Does Six Flags Want to Rename Cedar Point?

Happy Halloween, everybody — Mike and EB kick off spooky season with the old Crypt Keeper cold open before diving into one of the strangest stories in recent Six Flags history: a leaked survey sent to passholders asking how they'd feel about renaming flagship parks like Cedar Point, Carowinds, and Magic Mountain into options like "Six Flags over North Ohio" and "Cedar Point, a Six Flags Experience." The guys break down exactly why every single option on the list is worse than just leaving the names alone, and make the case that Six Flags has some serious brand rehab to do before anyone wants their name slapped on a park.

In Quick Hits: X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain is officially closed for good after years of lawsuits and injury allegations, prompting a trip down memory lane for one of the most notorious rides ever built. Lagoon finally reveals its mysterious 2027 attraction: J3 Grand Prix, the first Intamin Hot Racer coaster built in the United States, replacing the aging Jetstar 2. Busch Gardens Tampa quietly fixes a long-standing complaint by making lockers free for two hours on Iron Gwazi instead of charging riders full price. And after a years-long saga, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park has officially sold for $14.8 million through bankruptcy court following the tragic death that led to a massive judgment against the park — Mike walks through how Chapter 11 sales actually work and why the family is unlikely to see anywhere near the full settlement.

The back half of the show is all about ArieForce One: Mike and EB go through dozens of listener predictions for which Six Flags park will land the relocated coaster, debating the cases for Kings Island, Carowinds, Knott's Berry Farm, Six Flags Great Adventure, and a few delightfully out-there picks (frequent-flyer-miles traveling coaster, anyone?). Then they reveal the full audience vote breakdown — and it's not particularly close. Plus, an update on the show's Halloween scare-actor interview contest, including a few spectacular early failures.
