It's new. All of the flats in the front corner of the park around Lightning Run were either removed (so long Cyclos) or moved to Discovery Meadow in the back. That whole area is lined with fences and there's a bit of development happening in there. Snuck a day away to go check out Discovery Meadow, and honestly? It's actually super nice. Felt like a move Herschend money could definitely pull off. One of the biggest things I've noted before was how alone Storm Chaser felt. Now the entire path between Roller Skater (Hollyhock & Roll) all the way to Wind Chaser is lined with rides, and a ton of shady sitting spots under existing trees. My biggest surprise was seeing the pirate ship put in a perfect spot next to Mile High, so close to the splash but angled perfectly to avoid the wave. Speaking of waves, this heat wave has been pretty intense lately so I didn't stick around too long. I mainly wanted to get my steps in then cool off, so I only did Wind Chaser and Treetop Drop. From what I could see, they reprofiled Woodland Run's first drop and I'm seeing a ton of crazy hairtime from riders in the back seat, so take note of that for anyone else who goes. -
I mean...Kingda Ka itself didn't start site work until July of 2004 (and this new coaster really won't even need much site work) and didn't go vertical until September, and then opened in May. It's only June, and Six Flags doesn't like opening coasters until August these days anyway so is it really surprising that nothing is going on yet? -

The problem here is that no track pieces have arrived for the alleged "Record Breaking Launch Coaster", nor has any installation work been done. Construction crews have not even arrived to begin the work of installing this supposedly large scale ride. Compare that to the rapidly progressing work on the new Giga-Dive at Six Flags Over Texas. Track pieces and supports are arriving by the truck load, almost every day. Crews are hard at work digging the holes and placing the first footers for this massive coaster. A coaster on the scale of what is supposedly planned to replace KA would need nearly a year of construction work to complete. -
I guess I can give SFNE that...our carousel is always running 😆 In all seriousness SFNE has generally always been great about the park being as close to 100% open as possible on any given operating day. I hear horror stories from some other SF parks (and as someone who goes to Great Adventure almost as much as SFNE, I see this first hand!) so kudos are due to maintenance at SFNE who are typically on the ball with just about everything. I have also seen the issues with the other straddle coasters being closed suddenly so I wouldn't doubt that the park had it ready to go and then something else came up. Hopefully it's nothing too serious and it won't be a long delay.

Is that actually based on anything, or just some YouTube comment sections run amok? I've yet to find anything to substantiate the claim. -

Hi everyone, I'm hoping that a local or two can help me out. My family is visiting Europe for 3 weeks (leaving for London 6/22). We'll be in Amsterdam for a few days, and I plan to take my daughters to Walibi Holland on Sunday, 29 June. We are fully ready to buy Fast Lanes if need be. So, my question is regarding Fast Lanes. Mainly, is it safe to arrive at the park first and see what crowds are like before buying Fast Lanes, or should we play it safe and buy them online beforehand? I've never been before, don't know if I'll ever be back, and Goliath is one of my bucket list roller coasters, so I want to make the most of our day. Thanks! -Doug -
