Six Flags’ new CEO is facing a revolt from customers and Wall Street analysts alike over his aggressive moves to hike prices at the theme park — not to mention his snooty attitude.
In a Thursday conference call, Chief Executive Selim Bassoul said the company’s 27 parks had become “cheap day care centers for teenagers” and that price hikes were necessary to attract more affluent families.
Bassoul, who was named CEO of the Arlington, Texas-based chain in November, added that he was aiming to attract the kinds of families who shop at Target rather than those who shop at Walmart and Kmart.
Six Flags customers vented their outrage on social media — with some call calling for Bassoul to be canned.
“After that call, I will not keep my membership.” one Reddit user fumed on Thursday. “You can have your now 7-11 park with nickel and dime strategies while ignoring how it looks. You are pricing out everyone except middle/upper.”
