This week, some expected news from Six Flags, some bad news about Fantasmic and a clue about one of Pixar's upcoming films - sir clinksalot

Six Flags goes Bankrupt
In a move that was somewhat expected, Six Flags filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection on Saturday. While this may be bad for investors, it may not be such a bad thing for the future of the parks. This is a move that is aiming to re-structure some of the debt Six Flags has accumulated. Now is the time for the 'new' Six Flags to really show what they are made of.

Fantasmic's new dragon will not be ready in time
In a story first broken by Al Lutz, Disney confirmed that the new Fantasmic dragon would not be ready until mid-summer. Judging by the reaction of some fans via Twitter (highlighted in Monday's 'Dateline Disney' column) the communication that the Dragon is not ready hasn't been coming fast enough.

'Newt' Pixar's next?
And finally, our resident Hollywood Expert ALIASd found this nugget about Pixar artist Alex Woo and a hint about who may be working on Pixar's 2011 release 'Newt'.
