<p>Later this summer the merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair is anticipated to be finalized. With the combined company, the new Six Flags branded company will be home to a portfolio of 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and 9 resort properties across 17 states in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.</p>
<p>So we were curious, once the parks are combined under a common umbrella, what will the fastest roller coasters be under the companies portfolio? </p>
<h3>10. Nitro (Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, New Jersey) and Diamondback (Kings Island (Mason, Ohio)))</h3>
