Dan Snyder buys Johnny Rockets

February 9, 2007, 11:48 PM · Washington NFL and Six Flags owner Dan Snyder has purchased the Johnny Rockets fast food chain. Do you think that he will put them in his theme parks in order to upgrade the dining experience?

Seems like these people design multimillion dollar coasters, they could at least put some thought into a good dining option and make it their own.

Interestingly enough, Johnny Rockets already has a home in two Cedar Fair parks. Knotts and Cedar Point. Wonder if those parks will be losing the rights.

Now I have enjoyed Johnny Rockets when I have ate there, but im SURE SF will do something to affect the quality of the food and will double the prices at the rest. so as to make it not worth visiting!!

I ate there and the food was as should be expected for JR's and the servers broke into a Halloween themed dance. Did it disappear that fast? Another addition to Knott's is a TGI Fridays across from the chicken restaurant.

Last I saw it was before Knott's Scary Farm though...


or was it after?

It was right next to Perilous Plunge.
