I was in Las Vegas for about a week and I didi get a chance to ride Manhattan Express. It still had the old trains and it was one of the worst rides I have probably ever been on.
The rollercoaster in Final Destination 3 was Corkscrew at Playland in Vancouver. Revolution and Colossus from SFMM came out in National Lampoon's Vacation. Titan, Batman and a piece of Mr.Freeze came out in Spy Kids 2.
I'd help out all my local parks such as SFMM. First I would buy them out from Six Flags and make sure everything was still standing inside that park. I'd also add a few coasters as well.
Here in SoCal, Belmont Park is open year round along with SeaWorld, KBF , DLR and SFMM. The parks just close earlier. SFMM usually closes around 5 or 6 on weekdays and 8 on the weekend s around Christmas and Thanksgiving.
