I'm going to say a nice round $50 for a daytime ride, $75 for night time. $100 for a bar car if they have them like the High Roller in Vegas. Plus NJ's insane sales tax.

That sounds like a good way to substantially limit their business, especially given that we're still seeing polls where 40+% of the population in the US has no interest in taking the vaccine at any point.

Maybe that "Recall Newsome" attempt will pass, and then you could get a Governor that doesn't hate business who will trash his "tier" system where every tier means that things stay closed. Hell, even Cuomo of NY has finally said "Hey, we've gotta reopen stuff, or there won't be anything left to reopen later."

Never rode the Flight Trainer at KI, but I did ride the one at KD in my youth, and miss it dearly.

Wow. Tragic for the families.... Though after watching that video I can't say for certain that's a ride I'd get on if someone were holding a gun to my head.

Didn't you know, the replacement for Volcano is Tiki Twirl, the S&S 4D? In all seriousness, I'm sure they've got something substantial in the pipeline for '22 or '23. I'm also pretty sure that, while they have input, individual park GM's don't have the final say on what rides come to their parks in the CF chain.

Canobie missed the portable shuttle at Selva Magica. According to RCDB, there are 6 Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops left in operation: Bullet @ Selva Magica in Mexico (Portable model with the tire driven spikes) Golden Loop @ Gold Reef City in South Africa Katapult @ Hopi Hari in Brazil Montezuma @ Knott's in California Psyke Underground @ Walabi in Belgium Shuttle Loop @ Nagashima Spa Land in Japan There are also 3 Arrow shuttle loops currently in operation: Diamondback @ Frontier City in Oklahoma Revolution @ Blackpool in England Sidewinder @ Elitch Gardens in Colorado There's also a Meisho one at Rusutsu in Japan and 3 Shibolai models at 3 different parks in China.

Some people don't appreciate careening through a forest at 50+ miles per hour, for some reason. I'm not one of them and don't understand. Day or night, Beast in the front row cannot be beat by any other wooden coaster, IMHO.

Why do they need to rename it at all? The only "California" theming it needs is being in California.

Yeah, I love Dorney. Never any lines (for the dry park anyway), probably my #3 invert, a great collection of flats (some rare, like Enterprise, Demon Drop, and Apollo), an AWESOME log flume, and probably the second best water park I've ever been to (second solely since they don't have a swim-up bar). It even still has some of its charm left over from the pre-Cedar Fair days. There's nothing "amazing" about it, but its a nice little park, and perfect for swinging by Philly for steaks and drinks on the way home from (at least for me LOL).

More power to you. I'm not that old school, but I definitely am in a lot of ways.

That's all fine and good unless you actually want a physical card, which is a lot easier to pull out of your pocket and show to the cashier to scan rather than have to navigate back to the QR code on your phone every time you want to cash in your drink/dining plan.

Can confirm, CF doesn't care which park you go to first with your paper voucher for a Platinum Pass. You'll get your photo taken and be issued a card that has whatever park you go to first on the back. My Platinum Pass will forever say Michigan's Adventure even though I'll likely never end up back there LOL.

The all-park Fast Lane+ add-on has been around for at least two years now, at that price.

If anyone's interested, the park has posted the ride maintenance schedule for the first quarter of 2021. https://buschgardens.com/tampa/park-info/ride-attraction-schedule/ Jan 5-15 Sheikra Jan 25-29 Scorpion Feb 1-5 Elmo's Safari Go Round Feb 8-12 Big Bird's Whirlie Birdie Feb 15-19 The Count's Cars Feb 22-26 Dessert Runners Mar 1-12 Kumba And on that note, my trip is booked for the 3rd week of February. BGT on Thursday the 18th and SWO on Friday the 19th, with Fun Spot Orlando in the evening on the 19th and Fun Spot Kississimee before my flight home on the 20th. Excited!

I'd say the odds are pretty good if they manufactured the situation.

Sounds to me like the problem is the douchebag doing the filming, but maybe that's just me. Homeboy sounded like he had a point to make after being "treated so unfairly, woe is me" over the camera issue. By the way, it has been Six Flags Corporate Policy since I started working for them in 1998 that professional-grade cameras were not allowed to be used anywhere on park property without permission. If someone violates that, and then gives the security staff a hard time about it (which, by his attitude in the video, I'm 99.9% sure happened), that's when they call the police. This "videographer" should be happy that they let them continue their day at the park instead of having them arrested for trespassing, which is what its called when a property owner no longer wants you there. The fact that the idiot, low level, barely-over-minimum wage, seasonal security guard at the main gate let them in with it does not negate their policy. Finally, bringing "loose articles" in your pockets on a ride wherein the seats basically encompasses all around your hips is not "endangering guests." Jesus you're so melodramatic about it, I almost think that you might be the videographer, in which case you're in violation of TPR's rules about promotion of competing YouTube channels. Edit: Oh, the ride ops missed unsecured legs? Yeah, that might be something. Edit 2: Watched through the whole video this time. Its hard to tell with the masks, but the dude with his leg out sure looks a whole lot like the friend of the videographer, who would certainly have an ax to grind after the camera issue "treatment." I'm calling that the kid intentionally slipped his leg out after it was secured to make the park look bad. I've never been to SFOG, but at the installation at SFGAdv, the ride ops need to manually secure each seats ankle restraints, and there's no way doing that they would've missed a leg being in it. Sure, bad on the ride ops for not catching it, but shame on the kid too.

Your theory postulates that the general public, outside of coaster forums, will even know that something happened. As indicated by the near-complete lack of press that the incident received (not even Vegas' two major local news outlets, the Review-Journal or the Sun, picked it up), there is no reason to believe that they will. They're not intentionally hiding anything; I'm sure if a member of the press reached out for a comment, they would provide one. PR 101 is that you don't create press attention for negative things if they're not paying attention. The coaster-enthusiast community, however, knows better than to spend $20 to ride a shitty Togo no matter what, so in the end virtually no one will be affected. Except you, apparently.

The fact they they continued to do it and are continuing to do it. Businesses don't continue unprofitable operations. Then again, it is SEAS, so I guess anything is possible LOL.

Really, it's not much faster than Forumla Rossa, and even with a 500+ foot tall drop, it doesn't need to exceed the g-forces that Intamin's coasters do now. You're putting too much into it. Excited for when Cedar Point gets a version in a couple of years, but Saudi Arabia is definitely on my "never going to" list so its a moot point for me.

If by "all over the internet" you mean one single non-coaster-fan-page news article in the first two pages of Google results for "big apple coaster derailment," on a website that doesn't even have enough traffic to register on any of the major website traffic tracking systems, sure, it's "all over the internet." Seriously man, think before you post. I'll also second the motions by Bill & Boldy that yeah, this is not good PR for either the New York New York, the coaster itself, or the city as a whole.

Given that they won't even publish their annual maintenance schedule for 2021 yet (and yes, I asked them), I don't think they have any idea.

Pretty much everything this guy posts is satire.

LOL Screamscape fell for it too.

Honestly it wasn't even used. I walked through the Flash Pass Lines at two rides (Joker and Justice League), and pulled up my sleeve to show the wristband, but there was no one in the standby queue for the employee to tell to wait. There were no scanners, and yeah obviously wait times aren't displayed on a paper wristband. I guess that if it were actually necessary, it would operate just like Cedar Fair's does at any park that's not Cedar Point, where an employee just verifies that you have the right wristband for the day and waves you through.
