It's pretty interesting to see some of the park schedules for this year, and events that are or are not being held. For instance, Kings Dominion is not scheduled to hold its annual Winter Fest event this year, which is pretty surprising given how crowded the park typically has been over the past couple of years during November and December.
It seems like every park in the Six Flags chain is doing a bit of tightening of their off-peak scheduling, which seems to be reactive and not necessarily based on trends, but one-off situations and perception from those at the top who do not actually know anything about park ops.
