Sounds horrible. Which Six Flags did you go to (not that it really matters...I'm sure they *all* suck more or less equally).

*Everything* in the world is suffering from the same malaise...pay more to get less, or in some cases, nothing. Once your money changes hands from You to Them, you're fucked.

It now costs $25 to park your car at Arrowhead Stadium. And there are no more $10 for a round trip bus routes, either. The city dumped those. A bottle of water at Kauffman Stadium costs *$4.25*! A bottle of fucking water! Our local theme park, Worlds of Fun used to have beautiful, lush, immaculate floral landscaping, and trams to bring you from the parking lots to the gate. No more.

The list is endless, but eventually, pressure to maximize profits always results in the same thing...get less, pay more. Logically, in another twenty years, doing anything will cost you every dime you have, and nothing will happen once you've handed it over.
