Steam in a can is a funny way to label beans.

How far away is August in Six Flags time?

The park teased an opening date coming soon on social media yesterday. I would say, given that no one has reported seeing testing yet and photos from last weekend that showed a lot of groudwork left, spring con would be a big stretch. I would imagine Memorial Day or end of May is more realistic.

It’s a hauntingly good time for all ages in the Avenue Of The Afterlife. No tricks, just treats.

I was there on a Saturday night during a concert many years ago and they actually ended up keeping the stuff close to the center of the park open at least an extra hour. Fahrenheit, Storm Runner, Skyrush, etc were all walk ons because they didn't really tell anyone they were staying open late. Most of the lot had cleared out by the time they finally closed. Last year I went on a concert day to use my preview night and it took almost 2 hours to get to Troegs from the highway. That was miserable.
