They survey is so odd to me, I know a few other parks got them last year. What i know is most the stuff is already 2-3 if not 4-6 years planned out. Is this just going to be the start of parks getting a bunch of clones again. Say three parks results come back and a launch coaster was the highest vote so will all 3 get a off the shelf pre designed model. -

At this point I would not believe anything. Joker Fun House - Open by Summary 2025. Nothing. Screaming Eagle 50th "Oh yeah, that will be done by May 2026" sadly I see nothing happening. That Bat Mobile coming back to the ride line in 2020, nothing. The park can't even fix the lighting on the "new sign" they built by the highway. The first thing ppl see passing by is a broken sign that no longer lights up on one side, they were better off leaving the old one there. If the park can't change light bulbs I don't have much hope... -

And just to make sure you're absolutely clear, the express pass you get at the other 3 hotels is unlimited for IOA & US; BUT is not usable at Epic. You have to buy a separate express for Epic which is one time on each ride per day (or if not getting express through your hotel you can buy the same one time express that works at all 3 parks each day) There is no unlimited express for Epic available at this time, although if you use your early entry wisely and utilize end of the day low crowds the one time gets the job done nicely. We have usually stayed at Royal Pacific to get the unlimited express pass but on our recent trip since we know Epic would be our focus we stayed at Aventura and bought a 5 day one time express. It reset each day and at Aventura when we wanted to go to the og parks or Citywalk we just walked next door to Sapphire Falls and caught the boat. If you want to experience a bit of Helios and the view while at Epic just go up to the rooftop bar and grab some food and/or a drink. As far as why it isn't offered it is my understanding that when the other hotels were built Loews insisted on this perk to encourage people to stay there and insure the success of their hotel brand, now that Universal has grown and has more leverage they no longer need to make deals with Loews. -

Me too, and moving the rides from that corner of the park into the area closer to Storm Chaser was such a brilliant idea and makes sense now. -

Man I am loving what Herschend is doing here! -

I 100% hope so and strongly voiced my opinion on that when I had the chance to talk to the higher ups; not that my voice necessarily means anything to them. However, we were told that there will be some kind of celebration, we kicked around some ideas we had, and it was promised to keep ACE in the loop for whatever comes to fruition. Now how elaborate that ends up being? No one knows at this point. -

Not to worry, I seriously doubt SFSTL would replace Mr Freeze. Over Texas, on the other hand, has long been rumored to be removing Freeze. Even so, it won't happen for at least 5 years. Right now, Tormenta and the new completely redone Spain section, which includes a new Spanish themed restaurant, is the parks main focus. That plus visual and theming enhancements. For example, the Southern Palace Theater is getting renovated with all new Theater style seating. These are the main things going on at SFOT right now. -

I don't think our park needs to replace it's most state of the art roller coaster. A compact raptor would fit in the Boomerang and tidal wave location. Anything can fit in the area around Ninja. -
Kentucky Kingdom has announced Flying Fox, a new Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster for 2026! https://www.kentuckykingdom.com/media-room/new-family-roller-coaster-flying-fox/ Kentucky Kingdom is taking family fun to new heights with the debut of its first new roller coaster since 2019, adding to the continued investment in the park. Today, the park officially announced Flying Fox, an all-new family-friendly coaster opening for the 2026 season. This custom coaster will be the park’s 6th rollercoaster, the most in Kentucky. Join the daring adventures of local legend and crop-dusting pilot, Jeb Fox, as Flying Fox sends riders soaring over a vibrant Kentucky farmland setting. Every detail of the attraction has been carefully designed by Herschend’s in-house creative team, known for bringing stories to life in ways that feel both authentic and whimsical. From the red barn-inspired queue to hand painted murals and playful audio featuring Jeb himself, the theming celebrates Kentucky’s agricultural heritage while adding a lighthearted twist aimed for families to enjoy. “At Kentucky Kingdom, our mission is to create memories worth repeating, and the addition of Flying Fox is the next exciting chapter in that journey,” said Sarah Worrell, General Manager of Kentucky Kingdom. “With the debut of Discovery Meadow in 2025, we set a new standard for immersive, family- friendly experiences, and Flying Fox builds on that momentum. This new coaster represents not only our continued investment in the park, but also our commitment to transforming Kentucky Kingdom into a place where families can return year after year and always find something new to discover.” -

Helios really feels like you're just paying for location. Walked in to check it out on our day at Epic and was shocked at how small the lobby area is. The only place for food that isn't a sit down fancy restaurant is a Starbucks with some grab n go items as opposed to say Dockside or even Stella and Terra which have more traditional food courts. Very underwhelmed. -

^That is correct. It is priced above the other upper-tier properties that do include Express (Portofino and Hard Rock) but it doesn’t include Express in its offerings. -

Question for the group... is it true that staying at Helios does NOT come with complementary Express Pass like the other Signature level hotels? That seems crazy. Am I missing something? Helios is $300 more expensive per night than the other Signature hotels on the week I'm looking at, but it comes with fewer perks? -
Tough to say with Superman considering its size and it's only 1 year younger than Jokers Jinx. Agreed that it would be a great add for Michigan's Adventure if that were to happen. Not sure if that land behind the lake is buildable but if it is then they have more than enough room. If they don't move it, the question becomes where do the new trains go? SFDL also just got new trains. If the state would pull it's head out of its ass with the T-Bar situation, I would like to see them addressed to 1623 Main St, Agawam MA 01001. I know LIM launchers are kind of being phased out slowly but I would love to see Jokers Jinx live on somewhere. My home park of SFNE could use it as we've always needed a launcher (and when Quantum Accelerator finally opens technically we'll have one but just a family coaster). It still runs great, but with LIMs becoming less common they may just use it for parts for the FOFs and Mr Freezes. The track on the SLC is beat to shit. The new trains will end up somewhere I'm sure, there must be an SLC somewhere in the chain that needs them. But I don't see them relocating the ride itself. Sadly I agree the woodies are done. Roar is whatever, but very sad about Wild One. Batwing is another sad one to lose with the Flying Dutchmans officially becoming extinct, but that death has already happened. Also while it has some historical significance, good riddance to Firebird. Ragin Cajun may move (again). Someone may be able to use a spinning mouse. Didn't seem to have anything particularly wrong with it so I'm sure it would be no issue moving if needed. Same with the kiddie coaster. The Intamin 2nd Gen drop tower will be gone I'm sure, maybe some parts will get sent to Gurnee. Starflyer and Endeavor may find a new home, they're pretty new. Otherwise not sure what else would be relocated for flats. The NebulaZ is new, I'm sure someone will see that pop up in April. Everything else is pretty generic and also rather aged flat-wise. -
They better give Screamin' a whole bunch of Love for its 50th. Paint Job, Retrack, Lights ... the works. -

Thanks for sharing. B&M Dive Coasters have always been middle-of-the-road for me, but this is the first one that is really exciting to follow. 300-foot coasters aren't built too often. I was planning for 2026 to be my "off" year for any major travel, but I may have to squeeze in a long weekend in Texas to ride this thing. Also, really hoping B&M can get their crap together and this ride will run smoothly. My tolerance is pretty high for shaky rides, so I was hoping all the complaining about recent B&Ms was exaggerated. After riding Wrath of Rakshasa this year and then Yukon Striker a couple days later... it is VERY obvious something has changed. Fingers crossed!
