I'm surprised you didn't mention that the Scrambler, The Flash/Musik Express, Enterprise, Zforce, Flashback, Mountain Express, Galaxy, Jolly Monster, Metro, Skyway, Circus Wheel, Crazy Barrels, El Bumpo, Dragon, the Ski Show/Magic Lake, and Magic Pagoda are all gone now, too. I hope somebody told you that Magic Flyer, Tweety's Escpae, and Speedy Gonzalez Hot Rod are also leaving, too.

We now have an official, full-length, nighttime POV of Falcons Flight!

Guests can also look forward to a variety of international dining options, along with retail outlets offering exclusive Six Flags merchandise and souvenirs.

I will likely never visit (for a multitude of reasons), or at least not for a very long time, but I cannot help but geek out over Falcon's Flight from a technical standpoint. I remember seeing the original announcement and thinking it would never get built. The fact that it actually exists and is operating is absolutely wild. It seems like a sandbox fantasy NoLimits or Planet Coaster creation. Also slightly less talked about, but Iron Rattler also looks amazing. Is this Vekoma's biggest coaster?

Thank you for demonstrating that having an actual discussion with you is impossible.
