Awesome! Personally, I love the idea of the Friday updates and it looks like you have gotten a mostly positive response on FB. I would encourage the park to be as transparent as possible (I get there are some things you may not be able to talk about) on the status of things. People are mostly understanding if they are just filled in on the why's and what's, like what is honestly happening with the carousel..........and explain new procedures that are in place, thinking mostly the new parking toll booth procedures. And don't let the haters bother you In the end this particular park thread has a lot of traffic when compared to some others on here and that tells you something about how much people want the park to succeed in the end

A friend of mine tipped me off about this page a while ago, so I think it’s time to break my silence and just to let you know Six Flags DOES take your feedback! We have many things planned for this season that I’d love to talk about! At least what I’m permitted to I am willing to answer any questions to the best of my ability, So ask away!

Good to hear it will be open, because I'm tired of people making jokes about the reasonable delay. I'll miss Kim and I fiercely defending it.

My God! All this vitriol is ridiculous. I simply said that I thought it was nice that they seemed to be engaging a bit better on FB. If you aren't interested, FINE, don't spend anytime reading it. Again as previously stated there is no negative to this. The people that want to know will be happy, the people that don't care can choose to ignore. Geeez

This now piece of history has been added to my collection.

Let’s just say someone know a guy who knows a guy

Someone that works at Six Flags that manages the facebook page must be a fan here. Every Friday they we start to share what goes on during the off season.

I'm not sure I'd say WoF and Holiday World are lapping SFStL in rides. SFStL has received significantly more new capital than both parks over nearly the last decade. And while all three have received a new coaster in 2023/2024 they're all family coasters. Beyond that SFStL has received a new flat or waterslide every other year that isn't 2020. HW hadn't gotten a coaster since 2015, SFStL since 2013 and WoF since 2009. Yes, both WoF and HW are better-run parks in other ways. But I'm sorry you're just plain wrong on the capital investment category. PS: It also isn't BS that the park has received infrastructure improvements. It ABSOLUTELY has in several key areas for quite a few seasons. You can't claim to want the park to do certain things, but then hand-wring away the things they've actually done to address the things you say you wanted.

I posted it with my 2012 TPR China Tour TR. It was at Hollywood Hotel in Hong Kong DL, in the main buffet restaurant where we enjoyed our final meal together, before most of everybody left for home the next day. I stayed on one extra night, so I could get 1-1/2 days extra, enjoying the park. All of our table with The Chef, in a non-rant mood, lol. Sept.28-2012.

Day 14: Friday, June 16th part 3 (of 3) - 2nd full day at Liseberg ! before heading back into the park, I stopped by the room for a quick refresh, and then headed to the gates to meet the guys did I exit thru the restaurant so I could get more pics of the Carousel? of course I did. even tho it was after Noon. . the park had just opened. so some stands weren't open to the public yet. this one was no great loss tho - it's win Licorice. . ewww we were headed straight to Helix and Atmos Fear tho. . from the Restrooms at the top of the escalators, there are full wall windows..that allow you to get a great pic of Lisebergbanan cresting the lift hill. and also of Helix coming back from it's course but we were here to ride Helix. . not take pics. . .wheee! and Atmos Fear had just opened up too. . and in a neat little trick, the park has windows from the Helix level station looking down onto Atmosphere's loading. So you can watch the people drop right past the windows. a rather cool set up. not sure whom I have to thank for this pic of us on Atmos Fear. . I would guess either AJ or Andy. .but either way, it's a great pic! and then we headed over to Kiddie land for another ride on the new dark ride. . . and on the way bumped into more mascots (or maybe the same one from yesterday? there were so many I couldn't' keep track. . so just kept stopping to pose with them). at least one or two of these were new! and they had a "Farting" sofa that we sat on for a photo op! tho Big Mike had to lay in front. . and the Rabbits were VERY concerned that he was on the floor. a quick pop into the gift shop, and I suddenly had a key as to who was how. . . so there are 5 total rabbits, and the "bad" guy. Lisen, Kanina, Julius (the white one), Kanne, and Berg (who IS a baker). . and the bad guy is Mans Trak. this was so dirty, I immediately knew I had to buy it. Words and pics can't really describe. . assume if Stretch Armstrong were a carrot. (and hysterically, I got flagged on my flight back and TSA made me open my bag to show them what this was - I think they THOUGHT it was a "toy") CBHX7660.MOV luckily, Jason thought it was kinda kinky too, and filmed me with it I believe this awesome shot is from AJ. . who waited to get pics like this. I mean, it could be one of mine, but I'd put $$ on that it's AJs and I snagged it from the Group chat as it's such a great pic. we headed over to Balder for a couple of rides, and came across this "strength" game. . . this was fun to watch. basically the strong man "ring the bell" stuff you'd see at old carnivals. not much of a line today. . but the park hadn't really been open that long, and it would get busier as the day went on. a couple train wait for front row. worth it! then headed over to the "general" queue for the haunt, Hotel Gasten. . as we wanted another walk thru. what I found very nice is that the queue goes right along the rapids ride, allowing for some nice pics. such as this area. . which as I said the other day, would NEVER be allowed in the USA. . . this is the "bumper boat" section. . 4 rafts ramming off each other was starting to get hungry, but remembered that I had wanted to ride that spin and puke thing. . so we headed over there before stopping for lunch. I was tempted. . but having just ridden something similar, I passed at Liseberg, and never rode the cars/trucks. maybe next time. at lest caught both Helix, and the planes up at the top of the tower in this pic. but here is where we were headed: Mechanica I will say that it LOOKED way more intense than it actually rode. I was surprised it was so "non- flippy". . . but I think that's just the program they were running - the arms of seating seemed to move with the arc of the spin, so you never really went upside-down. at Power Park in a few days, I'd ride one of these that ran an INSANE program. but I did enjoy Mechanica here. . it's just not as intense as it looks. If recalling correctly, I won this rainbow unicorn playing Skeeball. and for lunch, I used my coupons to try this. . and no, I have no idea what it was. it was a local dish, that had a creamy sauce with cheese and onions on a potato (I think) based tostada. It also had a slight fish taste, so perhaps there were sardines in the creamy sauce? I got two of them because the $$ I had on the coupon came out about perfect for two of these and a drink. this is a pic of the restrooms that are next to the mirror maze. I made SURE that no one was using it before snagging a pic. . as this is possibly THE most bizzare "privacy" set up I've ever seen in a urinal situation. yes, the way the partitions are set up give each person standing next to each other privacy. . . but as I immediately noticed when I walked in and there were several folks in there - it's anonymous peen staring at ya! It was kind of like the first round of "Naked Attraction" LOL just very, very odd. . even this guy was shocked. I did read the sign, but I don't recall who he was, or why he had a statue in the park some pics of Helix doing it's thing, over the station for Lisebergbanan we had enjoyed the flume the day before. . so some of us decided to take another ride on it. I believe this pic is courtesy of Big Mike - who didn't want to get wet. the characters weren't out. . but Jon, Jason, and Ryan relaxed a bit on another farting couch! (controlled by the lever Jon has his hand on) I really wanted to ride the ferris wheel - it was the last thing in the park on my "wish list" that I had not yet ridden - tho I am sad I missed the Desperados shooting ride. . I didn't know it was there ) others had already been on the Ferris Wheel and wanted to do other things again, so I split off an made my way up the hill to the wheel. ] they had no issue with me riding alone. . . which was perfect for pics, as i could move from side to side for pictures. looking down inteho the "dino area" of Universeum. so many cranes. .and construction going on around here. . beautiful city. looking inwards towards the park. .that's our hotel on the right. last night, this whole area was full for that concert. .. . . it's a big space! SUCH a good coaster finishing up with my ride on the Ferris Wheel, I decided to walk some of the trails here on the hillside, and enjoy some of the Liseberg gardens. some just lovely art-deco pieces here. and then I found myself back in kiddieland. . . told you. . I LOVED this stupid, rabbits pooping, dark ride. I must have ridden this at least a 1/2 dozen times. and the park was NOT dead - I think people just don't realize this is a ride over here tucked in the corner. Kiddie bumper cars! operator for scale I was so drooling over this. I mean, I'm sure it's rather dull, but I was still sad that it wasn't working and would have loved to try it out. very photogenic. I don't recall if I rode this again, as i think I got distracted by the game next to it. . . Milkshaken!!! You have to move your cup to catch the fluid running from the tap that drips based on the lights in the pipes. . and if you fill it up, you can win a stuffed dog/bear/something????? I dunno. . but it wasn't a rabbit. anyways, I sucked at it, tho I tried a few times. I was starting to wear out, and the park was still open for a bit. So I figured I'd head back towards the hotel, and check out the small arcade, and then go pack up. after all, we had to get up in the morning and head out to Skara Summerland - before checking into our next hotel across from Gronalund. So I was ready to go relax a little bit, having done everything I wanted to in Liseberg. I would have LOVED to have one of these. . but I talked myself out of even trying. . figuring I can get one online when I got home. . but that Tigger & Piglet. . .WANT (Eeyore was a little too "grey". .I mean, on brand, but didn't want him) well..I was certainly mistaken. What I thought was a small arcade, was actually much bigger than I expected, spanning 3 full floors, with lots and lots of games. Including a bunch of Pinball Machines (spaced out on different floors). so yeah, I ended up spending a good 50 minutes here playing pinball. this AC/DC machine kicks major ass. . and they had the sound turned way up, so the music was blasting while playing. and then it was back to the hotel. .where I snapped this pic - the building right in front is the back of the arcade! (from the park it looks like a small thing, but from this side you can see it's 3 stories of games). then I put together my bag for the morning, and I think was asleep before AJ got back to the room. all in all? I LOVED this park, and would eagerly go back again in the future.
