That's about $1,599,998 more than I would pay for it.

You mean because now it might feel like it's... rolling and... coasting and... open?

Parques Reunidos should spring for Amazon prime. It always takes them months / years to get parts for literally anything.

Lol believe me I fully expect Six Flags to jump on this in a few years if it works at BGW and then I won’t have these issues. I don’t even expect the full HITP ride lineup but does anyone think they’ll pass up on the opportunity to open up the grove for some (bad) food and drink focused event where they pick a few random B&Ms to abuse if they think they could make some money? I’m with it. Make it happen.

I didn't know that but that's on-brand.

So the temp limit for Alpengeist / Verbolten and InvadR is 42 degrees, right? I was hoping to go down this weekend because this event sounds immensely better than Mardi Gras with all of the animals but it's hard to justify traveling a distance and taking that risk unless I'm wrong on that or the forecast changes.

Keep in mind though that Cedar Fair has stated that they'll open their parks f*cking whenever and Carowinds may or may not be open until they feel like it.

They'll be open

Bro, Jersey legalized pot not crack. Put it down.

The park has announced that opening day will be Saturday, March 27th.

All of the non-California parks will probably be able to open by their normal opening days anyway, though they've already stated that they might open a bunch of parks late just for fun so I guess who knows?

Weird... but whatever. Why not try it?

The park is in California and you can have an adventure there. It's fine.

I would assume so, yes.

It's extremely rare for them to have all of their major rides operating on the same day. It basically never happens. I don't recommend anyone plan a trip to this place unless they're okay with missing out on a major ride or two but I mean... what do you expect when you're only paying $80 per person for 4 hours?

Yeah, Fiesta Texas is seriously ridiculous. It's a shame to hear about SeaWorld doing the same thing.

Did they open Blue Hawk and that atrocious wood coaster for Christmas? That's new for this year, isn't it?

Wow, Six Flags. All of those things are really great. We really are living in a fantasy world...

"Safe but annoying" should be the official Cedar Fair slogan during covid.

Six Flags over Texas is year-round now, aren't they? Is this an event that only takes up part of the park and it's not fully open this year or is the park fully open and this is just a bonus thing?

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been to a park all year where people follow the distancing markers unless there are people there actively enforcing it (at which point people are trained by the end of the day and just do it on their own). While I’m not giving the rural Tennessee crowd a pass on that, I also don’t think they’re any worse than most other places. Six Flags Great Adventure is in a market that got hit the hardest by covid (in terms of deaths since it happened early-on) and it’s a free-for-all. American Dream... same thing. SeaWorld, Knoebels, Dorney, Hershey... all atrocious. The only (major) parks I’ve been to this year where people stand on those lines are Kings Island, Carowinds and Cedar Point where they had people walking through the queues constantly instructing people (though the parks are terribly run aside from that) plus Disney and Universal. People insist on having no personal space. Why? Who knows?

Nitro’s description says that too. Six Flags is just dumb.

Mask compliance was better than I expected but it wasn’t great. social distancing isn’t a thing but that’s true of most regional parks. If you care about that, buy Timesaver.

I still feel like it’s only a matter-of-time before they just go year-round.
