Oh, I so wish we could go to this. Next year. July 2013 ~ David's and my last trip to TDLR, with TPR ~ The 'Cape Cod' Photo by David.

One attaches to a gold pass, the other to prestige.

The 2163 is in meters, indicating 7096 FT. The thermometer reads 103°, this could only mean one thing- drop angle! The man in the suit I'm not sure about. Edit: I should have realized this. The 2163 is Husain Bolts bib number from the 08 Olympics. The man in the suit is Robert Wadlow. Tallest and fastest Dive Coaster.

the clock is upside-down. . . so the time shown on it is 9:25. the date of the announcement (with Jeffrey, you *always* have to look carefully, as he tosses in lots of red herrings).

355 feet tall? 3 minutes 55 seconds also came to mind but that seems less likely. 2163 would be really short as far as length goes, so I'm not sure what that is. We have a dive suit (duh), a Spanish flag (location), a bull, and the Matterhorn (the mountain, not the ride, so maybe a nod to B&M?).

hmmm. .. this is teasing "beyond Vertical" drop. that thermometer is showing over 100 degrees. guess we'll see!

You're right. When I open my 2026 pass and explore add ons it only offers me 2025 plans. Very odd. I have to navigate separately on the website to find the 2026 plans. I wasn't paying attention to the dates because why the heck would you add anything but 2026 plans to a 2026 pass? Anyway, gold and prestige meal plans are the same price and seem to have the same wording. Is there a difference I am missing?

Yeah, you're looking at the 2025 Pass add-on, not the 2026 Pass add-on, which is what everyone was talking about. You want this page:

Clearly says 40+ Parks in 2026...... 2026 2 MEAL ALL SEASON DINING - ALL PARKS* GOLD Add All Season Dining for All Six Flags Parks* Enhance your visits and enjoy a meal every time you visit now through the end of 2026 with All Season Dining! Max of 2 meals per day. Only a 4-Hour interval is required between meals. Drinks, snacks, and desserts not included. Dining Plan added to a Pass is only valid at Home Park Complex in 2025, and at all 40+ parks in 2026. Not valid special ticket events.

It very clearly says it will only work at legacy Six Flags parks. We rarely touch water parks. If Cota isn't open, we will likely replace it with a lengthy detour to Magic Springs in Arkansas and adjust the park order accordingly.

you should adjust that slightly: Start at SWSA, then SFFT, then Schlitterbahn (which you pass on the way towards Austin, in New Braunfels - I suspect COTAland won't be open yet, so you will likely have a free day to visit one of the best waterparks in the USA)

I was just at SFOG on Monday, and they had in park electric signs (ie: advertising) featuring Peanuts characters. (Charlie Brown, Woodstock, and Snoopy). over by the Theater next to Monster Mansion, and across from the Mine Train. it was so noticeable, I even pointed it out to those I was there with.

The all parks dining works at all parks in 2026 just like the product title and description say.

When I went to add dining, it was insistent that the plan would only be good for legacy Six Flags parks so I didn't. If it was good for legacy Cedar Fair parks, I would definitely have added it on. We will have at least eight days in Six Flags parks next year (road trip: SFFT --> SWSA --> CotaLand --> SFOT --> SFFC --> SDC --> WOF --> SFSL & a separate trip of two days at CP), but four of them are legacy Cedar Fair.

Supposedly the Peanuts license for the chain concludes at the end of this year, with an option to extend it to 2030. No one really knows if they have extended it or not, and with the doom and gloom surrounding SFEC as a whole, people are speculating that since it's supposedly cheaper to rebrand everything to Looney Tunes (or just de-brand everything), that's what they're going to do. It's just more frustrating speculation based on rumors and hearsay if you ask me. IMHO, if they were going to let the contract expire, they wouldn't have installed Peanuts-themed things this year, but I'm not an "industry insider" who gets paid by generating clicks on my videos/articles, so what do I know, right?

If you get paid peanuts you have no incentive to stick around.

Not to derail this conversation about passes. Seems like i missed something that people keep saying Peanuts characters might be leaving cedar fair parks? I rad that they own the rights till 2030 for now? Not sure if i missed something else.

Closing Day at The PNE Monday, Sept. 01 My last visit to The Fair, was also it`s last day of operation. And like Opening Day, I didn't have any need to revisit places like the Barns, or Super Dogs etc. I almost talked myself into seeing "For The Love of Drag" one more time. But I didn't go. Mainly, I wanted to try two edibles, that I'd missed in past visits... Japanese French Toast and Fish & Chips. And I picked up some more kettle corn and fudge. Both too good to pass up. I decided to come in "the back" way to The Fair. Through Playland, of course. Then I saw this - and gasped - this is the queue for Coaster?! Turns out the actual queue hadn't opened yet. And the line started moving once I passed through it. Amphitheater and ThunderVOLT for one last look. For those who want their inflatable hammers, in pink. A final WHEEEE! The Kettle Creek Mine Coaster is fun for adults as much as it is, for the kids. One of the "extra rides" in Playland. Whatever this was called here, it's still a Round Up to me. And a Himalaya behind the Round Up. That's 2 extra rides. And finally, an extra ride for the kids, and Extra Ride #3 .. the Tilt-A-Whirl. And that was it. Noted. Bought my BRIGHT Kettle Corn! Outdoor light was playing with my camera's settings. <sigh> Uh ....no. From Tornado Potato..... to Rotato (&) Potato. Mostly poutines, here. Here's my first thing to enjoy (I hope). How to put one all together. I bought the Half Serving. It looks like the Full Serving, but there were only two "toasts" in this, compared to four in the other. Extremely messy, but really, really good! Will look out for it again, next year's Fair. I also skipped the booze and had myself an iced coffee. Giant whatchamacallit dancers, I think, strolling by. And after a while, I headed over to this. For this. Two pieces of cod, seasoned fries...and still with the iced coffee. And it - was - excellent. The fish was perfect. And the seasoned fries were awesome! Even without a condiment on them This is around every year. And although it's about tunneling, it always looks like a mandala to me. And then into The Market, bought the fudge, and headed home out the front gate. When I take two busses to get home, my two block trek to it, passes by this great fence. We used to call these, the Three Little Pigs. Piggie #2 is apparently getting renovated, and repainted. Greeting me on our front walkway. Stella then followed me inside, to get treats and/or food from me. The Kettle Corn was flavoured Chocolate Caramel and Apple Caramel. The fudge was Strawberry Cheesecake and Black Forest. Both very good. And that's it for this year's visits to the Pacific National Exhibition a/k/a The PNE!

my Late Husband, Nick, passed at 63 (~3 years ago) and he LOVED coasters, but stopped riding them at about 55 due to medical issues (that would not have stopped most other people, but he tended to overreact. . so he just waited for me to ride anything more intense than the train or carousel, that he still felt comfortable riding). I'm 58, and my Boyfriend/partner, Jim (whom I met about 15 months ago) is 65. and he's just started riding coasters after we met. LOL. .his first coaster ever was Poltergeist (LIM launch spaghetti bowl coaster), and he does at least one "big" ride at each park. usually the last ride of the day, because he wants to participate in the "big" stuff with me. in regards to COASTERS: he's been rather limited (thus far), but his favorite is Texas Stingray at SWSA. He also really loved Steel Eel (SWSA), Judge Roy Scream (SFOT), Runaway Mountain (SFOT), Road Runner (SFFT), Aquaman Power Surge, and Mine Train (SFOT). he will TOLERATE a few other coasters at SFFT, and SFOT, but refuses to ride Iron Rattler (SFFT) again, as it terrified him. and I'd say he will absolutely not (anytime soon at least) ride Titan (SFOT), Great White (SWSA), Dr Diabolical, Chubacabra, or Superman at SFFT. but he loves flat rides, and we do all of those together.

Had a great trip! Was going to come on and give an update, but thanks for asking as well! As some predicted the rain wasn't as bad as forecasted and probably dissuaded a few people from coming, so it was fairly empty as well. Nothing shut down for weather but Millie was temperamental and a few others had spots of downtime, but nothing too bad. Got all the new credits since I was last there so was happy on that front.

I went online to see if you could add the dining when this question came up before and it wouldn't let me BUT I have no idea if that was because it wasn't working properly, or because it knew that I already have dining on my membership so therefore it would be redundant, or what. I mean it's a moot point for us because we already get 2 meals and a snack grandfathered in our membership. I think right now it's all somewhat of a crapshoot depending on what day it is and who you are dealing with.

Another one bites the dust.
