ix flags operates in an industry dominated by some other large theme park venues including Disney and Great Adventure. About 85% of the industry revenue is generated by the 10 largest companies and those firms don’t change often. Thus, it is not fragmented like, for example, the plumbing industry where no one has a large share.
