^ That doesn't' make sense. We paid the most of any level, and should get the best benefits. Spoken as a all season all park owner.
You are getting the best benefits that are offered. We don't deserve some extra special perk. You're already saving money over buying daily FL every time you go, right? Spoken as an all-season, all-park FL+ owner (almost) every year since its been offered.

Do those with the all season, all park Fast Lane through another park get unlimited rides on TT2? With this system they will likely have to have three different wristbands (FL, FL+, and FL+ with unlimited rides on TT2).
All-Season-All-Park-FL just gets you the highest level offered at a park; it will only get you one ride (per day) on the Zamperla mistake. You all are seriously overthinking this.

"Have a Six Flags Day!"

Nothing new. Kings Dominion limited FL+ to one ride on Volcano for most of the years that it existed. They just marked your wristband when you rode; if you tried to show it again once it already had the mark, you weren't allowed.
It's really not that complicated, people. -

I missed that announcement... when did the park say that Kumbak was gone?
My apologies, it was Screamscape rumors. But still believable, especially given the now-year-long-delay added to the project with no motion whatsoever on the site.

The footprint of Montezooma's Revenge is completely blank, like the ride doesn't even exist. Good chance this is just an oversight, but also... that doesn't bode well for the future of the ride that the park didn't even think to include it on the map.
They've already said that the initial renovation plans with Kumbak are no more*, no? (EDIT: This was not officially stated by the park, just a Screamscape rumor). I think we just need to accept that it's gone and will not be coming back in any recognizable form.
*Is anyone shocked? A company whose claim to fame was the horrible trains on T3 at Kentucky Kingdom doesn't exactly have the best track record.-

The Williamsburg park charges members $7 to get their membership card printed on something thicker than paper. This does not surprise me in the slightest.

Yes, one day with FL+ will be enough to get all of the credits at KI, and plenty of re-rides too. FL+ is awesome at this park and puts you in the station on pretty much ride its offered on.

Yeah that whole thing looks awesome.

Well it's official!
Something is "brewing at Magic Mountain. They've filed a permit to demolish the Golden Bear Theater on 12/5 with the city. Something big is going to happen. I'm guessing after Holiday in the park. I'm hoping for coaster #21! That would be a good Christmas present!...
Was that their last remaining show venue, or is it like Great Adventure where they have a bunch that haven't been used in a decade?
I know they don't use them now, but they're going to need proper show venues in the post-merger era. -
In December of 2021 I hit SFMM and KBF in one trip; here are some of my observations/suggestions:
-I flew in and out of Burbank International Airport (BUR) for substantially less money than flying into or out of LAX, via Southwest. Yes, flight times are limited by comparison, but what they had available worked for me. Rental car prices were also substantially cheaper at that airport.
-With Flash Pass Platinum, I would imagine you will only need one day at SFMM. I agree with two days at KBF though, especially if you plan on taking in all of the non-ride things to do there.
-Don't forget to check out the Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Park while you're in the area. Only one credit, a so-bad-it's-good Morgan micro-hyper (full scale track and trains but a tiny kiddie coaster layout), but the park has historic value and also plenty of nice dining options in the area.
-If you're a credit whore, there's also a few credits to be had at nearby Castle Park, John's Incredible Pizza, Live Oak Canyon Farm, and Apline Slide at Magic Mountain, the latter of which has an honest-to-satan real Apline Slide along with their mountain coaster.
-Since you're only doing the LA-area parks (and ignoring the true SoCal parks down near San Diego), I'd honestly get one hotel that is centrally located for the entire time - this will give you a little more flexibility without having to work your schedule around check-in/out times. When I did the trip, I stayed at a mom-n-pop hotel that was in walking distance to the beach and dining/nightlife options.
-Double whatever your expected fuel budget is.-

The one at Tivoli is a lot of fun, especially the outward-facing seat option.
I can imagine. I'd just love to find one that runs the standard cars as fast as the one at Morey's used to back in the 90s.

That thing is old AF. Parts are probably hard to come by. It's being trashed.
Huss will sell you a brand new Condor today if you really want one. I'm sure they still support it with parts.

Lol.
I guess I better enjoy the crap out of Nitro on New Year's Day this year because if this is what Cedar Fair is bringing to the Six Flags parks, then it will probably be the final time we can do that. SFNE might as well just shut down in mid October.
I'll trade freezing coaster rides for the everything else that CF does better than Six Flags any day of the week. There's more to parks than coasters.

I went on opening night; the place was dead. My longest wait of the night was 5 and a half trains for the back row of Twisted Timbers. I should have my TR from it up soon.
Be sure to check the weather forecast before going, since they don't run Twisted Timbers or Dominator (the only two thrill coasters open for Winterfest) if it drops below 40 degrees.-

Hey Cedar Fair...you know what Great Adventure needs that you have a few of and would fit in the park perfectly?
One of those sports bar style Chickie's and Pete's.
Make it happen.
A perfect reuse of the mostly-abandoned Best of the West.
Though I would argue that SFGAdv needs less alcohol locations, not more. -

I just asked if they were replacing the trains during the Q&A, and they said they were sticking with the current trains. The trains they have now were made by S&S Worldwide according to the Roller Coaster Database.
Well that makes sense since they took over all of Arrow's stuff. Still kinda disappointing; the restraints make it so you have to ride defensively, at least with my body type. Thanks for the info though!

The park also put new trains on the Loch Ness Monster in 2018 or 2019.
Thanks for the report!
You seem pretty well connected with this park...have you ever heard why they didn't go for the new-generation Vekoma vest-restraint trains when they bought these new trains not that long ago? I'm pretty sure they were available then, but I could be wrong. -

I don’t think theme park ppl should be paid $20 an hour when corporate jobs start at $20 an hour. This is why we have an inflation problem.
Have you considered that perhaps the problem isn't that "theme park ppl" are paid too much, but rather that entry level "corporate jobs" (along with everyone) aren't paid enough and CEOs and other executives are paid too much?

Get ready for short operating seasons. RIP HITP when the Cedar Fair influence gets its way. Hope this upcoming New Year's Day at Great Adventure isn't the last one.
When do they start painting Millennium Force red with blue supports?
What are you on about? Winterfest, at the parks that run it, blows HITP away in every area except ride selection.

Zimmerman staying at the top is good....but yeah I'm not feeling good about this.
Just please keep CF's dedication to seasonal decorations and theatrics and skip-the-line program, please?-

Or even worse, become Six Flags parks.

My full report should hopefully posted within a few weeks, but a few bullet points:
-Paying extra for a hard membership card is the biggest nickle-and-dime bullshit I've ever seen. Just increase the cost of the pass by $7 if you're that hard up for money, SEAS.
-What happened to all of the food locations in this place? I remember there being more, but many were sign-less or walled off.
-If you go to Halloween events for the artistry and decorations of it all, especially in the houses, you may want to divert to Kings Dominion. Seriously, a flat printed piece of cardboard for books on a bookshelf? Your entire circus theme scare zone getting some banners and like two physical props? Lame.
-If you go to Halloween events for the shows, this is your park. Monster Stomp was downright incredible, and Phantoms of the Festhaus and Skeletones were both worlds beyond Cedar Fair's efforts at those themes (singing monsters and classic song review, respectively). The Jack is Back show was kinda lackluster and corny, however.

Typically, no. Forgive me if I take some offense when an entitled brat needs to demonstrate things in such a way.
