Numbers: Coaster count at start of 2024: 158 Coaster count at end of 2024: 270 Coaster count increase: +112 - Highest ever as 2023 was +107. 2024 is almost certainly the last year it is over 100. Trips: New Parks: January Florida Trip - Islands of Adventure (+3), SeaWorld Orlando (+5), Fun...

Silver Dollar City has started teasing something to be announced on October 17.

I think in this poll, I initially voted "B" but then changed it to "C" but after my most recent trip, I'm creeping somewhere between "C" and "D" (kept my vote as "C"). I will ride +1's but if the expectation is that pain will accompany the ride, I will pass going forward.

I figure it is time to update my list as I added a good amount of RMC's this year. 7 new which are bolded. RMC really does make gems so being at the bottom of this list is not a slight but rather a testament to RMC's goodness. 1. Iron Gwazi - Relentless pacing with many elite elements...

Whisky drunk thinking about coasters and your comparison of ArieForce One to Wildcat's Revenge and Twisted Timbers... Not me! 😂😂 😂 They're all great but am curious what tops your list.

RMC Single Rail confirmed. Fire Runner. 12 car trains. Will be interesting to see the profiling compared to the prototypes and Stunt Pilot.

From a 30,000 foot view and without digging deeper, SeaWorld's, ahem, United Parks & Resorts balance sheet is not all that leveraged. Presuming that these Parque Reunidos parks are parks are generating cash flow/income or United Parks & Resorts feel they can make these parks profitable, the...

2023: Matugani - Lost Island Zambezi Zinger - Worlds of Fun Wild Mouse - Cedar Point ArieForce One - Fun Spot Atlanta ---------- Rode within 12 months of opening but not in the opening year: Pipeline - SeaWorld Orlando - January of 2024. Artic Rescue - SeaWorld San Diego - April of 2024. Had...

I could be talking out of my rear but here it goes... Cedar Fair (now Six Flags) is a publicly traded company with a duty to provide returns to its shareholders. It is not going to "cut ties" with a manufacturer because the manufacturer's coasters that pushed the envelope at Cedar Fair's...

To be clear, voting records are anonymous (as far as I know) but party affiliation is not. But, party affiliation is really meaningless as one could flip back and fourth with relative ease in order to alter primary elections. For instance, my state is conservative/Republican dominated state...

It appears he's fine. https://x.com/margbrennan/status/1812254899671052480?s=46&t=Fcopc9n_5i_WiYfwhQbnqg And regarding your clarity qualifier, I know/knew. You seem to be a lot calmer and measured than me which I'm jealous of, haha!

It appears that there was an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania tonight.

I am aware of Sotomayor's dissent. But its problem is that it ignores the limits of the majority's analysis. Chief Justice Roberts, "As for the dissents, they strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the Court actually does today" The implications of this...

No you couldn't. You're just either reading the nonsensical dissent or some narrative of the nonsensical dissent and running with it. It's fear mongering and you're taking it hook, line and sinker.

Six Flags has reduced some operations but by the start of Q2 of this year, the transaction had been fully underwritten so there would be no need for Six Flags to improve its bottomline for purposes of the merger. As long as its Q1 & early Q2 earnings weren't a disaster case scenario, the...

I think this is tongue in cheek but Cedar Fair parks aren't going to add the Six Flags "courtesy title" to existing parks name. The main question I have is what parks, if any, are going to be sold. I know the company wants to further delever its balance sheet and I could see some less...

If it makes your heart break less, I thought Skyrush was a gem for the reasons you mentioned when I rode it on June 18. These were all back row wing seat rides, 2x on left wing and 1x on right wing. I have heard that the new restraints have neutered the ride to an extent but I quiver to think...

I had been waiting to post on this until my most recent trip was complete as I added a lot of Intamin's. 24 Intamin's in total. Coaster Park Date 1st Ridden Maverick Cedar Point 6/16/2022 Millennium Force Cedar Point 6/17/2022 Steel Venom ValleyFair! 6/16/2023 Matugani Lost Island...

I just got home from my trip yesterday and including the coasters above I notched 69 new credits from the following parks: Six Flags America Kings Dominion Busch Gardens Williamsburg Hersheypark Dorney Park Knoebels Six Flags Great Adventure Six Flags New England ... I screwed up and was...

208 - Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion Holy cow! I had high expectations and was still blown away. Positive Gs rarely get to me but I started to feel my vision deteriorating towards the end of that first 270 degree turn. Then airtime and snappy transitions, oh the snappy transitions! 10/10...
