NEWS: What Disney and Six Flags Tell Haunts About Fall

About this episode

The episode discusses insights from Disney and Six Flags' earnings reports and their implications for haunted attractions.

Both Disney and Six Flags posted strong earnings this week, and while haunts are a few steps removed from the major theme park operators, it tells us something useful: guests are still booking, still spending, and still showing up. The two chains are taking different approaches to the same moment, with Six Flags leaning into value and regional passes while Disney leans into premium. For haunted attractions, the takeaways are the same ones we've been tracking since TransWorld.
