It's a bit interesting that in general Cedar Fair has been a fair bit less ambitious when it comes to dark rides. The Boo Blasters rides were all installed by Paramount, and outside of those there really aren't many dark rides at legacy Cedar Fair parks at all. Six Flags has had way more, with several parks having two or more dark rides. I do wonder what the future of dark rides is in the merged company.

yup. . ZERO chance they don't renew DC License. .. I"m sure for multi years - across the whole chain. too much has been invested in the DCU, and some parks (Fiesta, SFOT, SFOG) have really incredible DCUniverse sections.

I fully understand why Six Flags tried the Justice League concept. It truly was something out of character for the company. Unfortunately Six Flags preventative and ongoing maintenance budgets aren't compatible with the concept over the long haul. I'm pretty sure the license expiring thing isn't an issue though. They'll renew the DC license if it is actually expiring next year.

Disney has shared some brand-new artwork of the Rivers of America replacement, now called Piston Peak National Park! https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/piston-peak-national-park-builds-on-the-story-of-frontierland/ Cars from around the country are fueling up to be the wildest racer in the “wheelderness.” Of course, we know that fans are curious to see how the exciting new backdrop for the big rally race will fit into the waters, landscapes, and storytelling at Magic Kingdom.  Today, we are excited to share that Piston Peak National Park will continue the sweeping storytelling tradition that has crossed Liberty Square and Frontierland since opening day.   Westward Ho! Crossing into New Frontiers at Magic Kingdom Since the early days of Magic Kingdom, adventurous guests have traveled across space and time as they pass from Liberty Square to Frontierland. Starting with architectural influences from upstate New York and colonial America in Liberty Square, before traveling to a bear-y fun concert in the North Woods, a stop by New Orleans at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and ending in the Arizona bluffs at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.   At the heart of all these stories are heroic characters with a belief in themselves that helped forge a path to their dreams. To continue this journey in great American storytelling, Piston Peak National Park will be part of the largest expansion in the history of Magic Kingdom. Welcome to Piston Peak National Park Imagine an awe-inspiring wilderness filled with towering trees, snowcapped mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers and impressive geysers. While fictional, Piston Peak is inspired by the Rocky Mountain area and the history and iconic sights of the American Frontier and its national parks.   Inside Piston Peak, guests will be able to see and explore the visitor lodge, Ranger HQ, trails and more all set within the Disney and Pixar “Cars” universe. To make sure these buildings fit naturally within the surrounding majestic landscapes, Imagineers are using a style of architecture called “Parkitecture,” which was developed by the National Park Service to create structures that harmonize with the natural environment.    From the outside, trees will provide a natural barrier between the off-road rally and other parts of Frontierland and Liberty Square. Rugged mountains with dramatic peaks will be nestled along a calming waterway across from Grizzly Hall and soaring geysers from the famed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will stretch into the trails of our off-road rally.
