SEC Blocks sale of Six Flags Worlds of Adventure t

Just off the wire:

In a stunning move, the Securities and Exchange commission announced today that it will not be approving the sale of Six Flags Worlds of Adventure to Cedar Fair. Siting fears of how two parks in the one market owned by one comany would stifle competition, the commission rejected the sale, and ordered Six Flags to look for a new buyer. Rumor has it that the EU's decisions on Microsoft's anti-trust case in Europe helped to sway the commission, which otherwide most likely would have approved the deal*.

Cedar Fair president, chairman, and CEO Richard Kinzel could not be reached for comment.

*As a student studying constitutional law, I seem to remember foreign countries being referenced in the case Lawrence v. Texas (2003), so this is not out of the ordinary.

Yeah, nice try, conisdering, Six Flags have a couple parks in the same market of each other.

As well as I beleive the Cedar Point Company did own Geauga Lake once before in the past. Yes the Cedar Point company because I beleive it was before Cedar Fair existed.

Good One to try to throw the loop, but it didn't work for me either ;)
