The Ragin' Cajun relocation will not be operating during Spring Break for sure, and I'm pretty sure Superman will be inaccessible as well (though we'll know more about that after opening day this Saturday). I would go to Carowinds. I'd honestly go to Carowinds any day of the week over SFGAdv, and the prior is a 9 hour drive for me while the latter is less than 2.

Would you prefer the parks that are going to be run by EnParks be closed all together? Because that is the most likely alternative in a timeline where EnParks/EPR did not buy these parks.

No, they're saying the exact opposite - they're saying that SFStL has potential, potential that was being ignored, not only by the newly combined SFEC but also Legacy-Six for decades. You do realize that one of the other parks that SFEC sold, Valleyfair, was the "Fair" part of the Cedar Fair name, right? This sale didn't pick sides. You should look on the bright side; if the park wasn't sold to EnPark, there's a good likelihood it would have just been closed SFA-style.

Allow me to introduce: removepaywall.com Option 3 tends to always work for me, but sometimes you need to archive the page you're looking for yourself.

So, my SFEC Gold Pass+App was renewed through KD, and was the year before too. I just got an e-mail containing a survey that was all about a "winter event" at Kings Dominion. Here are what the questions were: 1. Have you ever attended WinterFest at Kings Dominion? 2. In what years did you attend (options of "2024," "2023 or earlier," or "never have") 3. Free-Text fields asking what you did and did not like about the previous WinterFest events. 4. An "A-or-B" choice between "Immersive holiday-themed event with limited ride operation" or "Closer to normal park operations with limited shows/decorations" 5. 1-to-5 scale questions for "How Likely are you to visit a winter event at Kings Dominion" and "How likely are you to buy a season pass to visit a winter event at Kings Dominion." 6. A free-text field asking what you think the "must haves" are for a winter event at Kings Dominion. It would seem that they're actually listening to all of the push-back they got for cancelling last year's event and are considering reinstating it.

Agreed 100%. Between making Gold Passes into Regional Passes and this, they seriously cannot figure out what they want to do with their season passes. Definitely a more Legacy-Six than Legacy-Cedar type of move. Like....make all the changes you want, but announce it for the following year before passes went on sale.

Not really sure you're gonna get a response from an AI bot haha.

As for parks actually considered "in LA," there's Knott's Berry Farm, obviously. Universal Hollywood. There's a small FEC (John's Incredible Pizza) that has a credit in the form of a SBF Visa figure 8. And Santa Monica pier if you want the smallest Morgan credit ever built. Castle Park, about an hour drive from the LAX airport, has a Vekoma Junior coaster. Everything else will be farther. May I highly recommend flying through Burbank Airport (BUR) instead of LAX? It is a much smaller scale and thus less crowds and nonsense.

This reads extremely AI generated. And yeah, none of that is going to happen. The most likely solution is throwing a layer of dirt over the parking lot and laying down sod. And that isn't going to happen either.

Diving Machine G5 at Janfusun Fancyworld in Taiwan doesn't, but it also has no inversions period and literally is just the main drop, a turn, another tiny drop, then brakes. Oblivion at Alton Towers also does not, but also has no inversions. Otherwise, yes, all of the B&M dives have an immelmann as their first element (unless you count tunnels or splash downs as elements, since some of them have those).

Pretty much haha.

Honestly kills the view for anyone staying in that side of the hotel, and will undoubtedly make the amount of crashes on that stretch of I-495 (the major beltway used to bypass driving through Washington, DC itself) go from "absurdly frequent" to "near perpetual." But I'm excited to have something like that so close to me.

Seriously, I do not see anything changing for the worse at any of these parks if they are sold to another operator. Status quo? Maybe. But they will certainly not get less investment than SFEC was going to put in to them. Also, seriously, the first time SFStL has real news in how long, and we've got nothing from @prozach626 ? I'm disappointed haha.

Will it be an actual Universal venture, or something the Saudi developers build and slap the Universal name on (like the Six Flags park)? Though it wouldn't surprise me that Universal would be willing to go the extra steps (admittedly there are several) from platforming JKR to supporting that market. The almighty dollar has spoken, after all. Also, the SF park has been open to the public one day. A bit early to call it a "success," no? Also also, does a park that isn't even beyond the earliest planning stages really need its own discussion thread?
