Six Flags: Nugget Gate & More Leadership Changes Again
Six Flags found itself at the center of a chicken nugget fiasco this week, amidst a power struggle on its board. Six Flags banned content creator Alan Farrell for life from all its parks after he posted an Instagram video of himself eating a 10-piece box of chicken nuggets atop Millennium Force, in violation of the park's safety policy banning loose articles on rides. The situation raises questions about the state of entertainment and how parks should vet influencers. Buried among the nuggets was the news that Six Flags announced a new CFO and three new directors, each serving three-year terms, all with finance, M&A, and turnaround backgrounds. The board shuffle, favoring turnaround over entertainment, traces back to Jana's letter demanding change. It was private equity all along. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/GreenTagged" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen to our weekly bonus show on Patreon</a>.

Epic Universe Turns One & Disney Sued Over Facial Recognition
Epic Universe Vice President Jeff Polk sat down with a small group of reporters to mark the park's first year, discuss its unique design elements, and push back on expansion timelines. The design choices, the new Captain Cacao meet-and-greet, and Universal's beta tests of an open Celestial Park hub all point in the same direction: they need smaller experiences to soak up crowds, and they may eventually turn Celestial Park into a CityWalk-style space or charge per portal. Scott makes the case that Celestial Park is "pretty lights with no storytelling," a transition space that's too big for the IP-rich lands it connects to, and why pivoting the use case could work.<br /><br />Then, Disney faces a new class action lawsuit over facial recognition at Disneyland. The complaint argues that Disney doesn't adequately disclose its biometric collection practices. The technology is something we’ve been discussing for years (whether at airports, sporting arenas, or even the magic bands), yet it seems the main issue is how guests expect to be informed about any AI use of biometrics. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/GreenTagged" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.</a>

United Parks' Q1 Misses & Sphere Lands at Yas Island
United Parks Q1 was rough across the board: attendance & revenue were down, and the net loss widened to $34.1 million. CEO Marc Swanson blamed unfavorable weather (again) and a decline in international visitation. Despite the misses, United Parks repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares for nearly $93 million, reiterating its belief, as in last QTR, that the stock is materially undervalued.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the next Sphere installation was announced for Miral's Yas Island in Abu Dhabi — a $1.7 billion, 20,000-seat venue going up right next to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and the Yas Mall, with construction set to finish by 2029. The Sphere business model has proven out in Vegas through concerts and immersive entertainment; the open question is whether Yas Island has the population density to fill 20,000 seats at the cadence Vegas does (and whether that even matters).<br /><br />Also: Tokyo Disney's second-year Summer Cool-off event is a textbook example of mitigating heat and leaning local.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.patreon.com/GreenTagged" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon</a>.<br />
