MOVING FORWARD: WAYNE MANOR
39
NEW PRODUCT RANK➢ Lowest Risk ➢ Creates the greatest positive associations and has built-in credibility with
success of the Warner Bros. entities already in Six Flags➢ Builds upon existing target market➢ Profits off of horror genre that makes Fright Fest so popular in the month
of October➢ Has room for improvements and innovations as time passes; adaptable ➢ Retail Sales Volume: $67,095,130.66

#1 Advertise as a Horror Attraction The horror genre is both popular in films and popular in theme parks. Just like Universal Studios’ Horror Nights and Knott’s Berry Farm’s Knott’s Scary Farm, Six Flags Fright Fest brings an increase of customers during the month of October. By emphasizing a “Halloween Year-round” approach with this specific ride, Six Flags can make a profit on Halloween outside just the month of October.
#2 Open Ride Around the Same Time as a Batman Film With the DC Universe expanding on the movie screen, Six Flags can utilize the existing equity and hype built around these films to launch this ride. With Justice League movies and a rumored solo Batman film in development for the next few years, opening this ride among those films will help the ride launch and inadvertently builds upon an already successful brand equity in the Batman franchise that fits the target market for Six Flags. A popular trend among Six Flags’ competitors are also capitalizing off of secondary sources such as Disneyland’s future Star Wars land. Opening this ride alongside Batman films keeps Six Flags within that competition and trend.
#3 Make Line for Ride Aesthetically-Pleasing and Part of the Ride ExperienceThe Six Flags Magic Mountain parent brand’s negative associations include long lines that may contribute to unpleasing experiences at the park. In order to also keep up with the aesthetics that Disneyland and Universal Studios excel at, making the waiting experience to go on the ride could add to the scariness factor of the ride and help alleviate the negative association of long lines. The line could theoretically be a part of the experience of the ride rather than a burden to be endured to get to the experience of the ride.
