tdrexplorer.com just posted it's own announcement about the hotel, with a location photo c/o OLC (thanks!) as well. FYI - This is what the site looks like more recently:

Oh dear...if this doesn't scream backwoods Pennsyltucky mom's, I don't know what does! Spoiler alert, her kid probably has autism and can't go near the ride now!

^I sure hope you're right! I don't like a lot of spinning rides but that's one of my favorites.

So KT *LOVED* this! You wouldn't think it would necessarily appeal to 11 year old girls, but she's an old soul and loved the characters, humor, dancing, costumes, and everything about it.

Like I get it, we all hate ads. It's not like we LOVE putting ads on the site, but like Robb said, it costs a lot of money to provide the forums and photo/video hosting services for all of our members. I freaked a bit when I first saw it, but honestly give it a few days and now it doesn't really bother me anymore. Heck, most of the other forums I'm on have the same ads, if not more, so it's fine.

^&^^ Exactly. That *WAS* a great coaster when it first opened and the staff and owners there were awesome. Towards the later years, it was just as crappy in all ways as Mt. Olympus is!

^Very interesting! Do we know exactly where it is going? I googled the address but that didn't really work, other than to assume it should be IN the main area!??!

Pretty sure Disney is also doing crazy new cotton candy flavors at Springs right now too. Did some park people get inspired at IAAPA!?!?

Also, guys, this place was super sketchy, and this whole process so far has been super sketchy. I'm not surprised we've entered into the blame/lawsuit section of development! Only surprised it wasn't sooner.

I feel your pain on both of these. I agree that the Baby Swap "not being possible" is ridiculous. You can create a simple paper pass that can be used at the exit, bring the kid through the line, there are a ton of solutions to this even at smaller, older parks. The height restrictions only get weirder as the kid gets older and taller. Wait till they're in the situation that they've been on the EXACT ride at another park and then are told they have to be 6"+ taller to ride the SAME ride at another random park!

So true. "Enthusiasts" are in every hobby, not just coasters/theme parks. And it's basically a personality fault! To be so enthusiastic about these hobbies is weird and people burn out if they're crazy, or go even more crazy. I've seen many of our coaster people leave, very few come back, they just move on to other hobbies that they go crazy for and then sometimes come back after they burn out on that or move on to something else.

^I feel like that would be one of the more challenging 'normal' evacs!

^Tickets go on sale TOMORROW for Hamilton so be ready to book!

^Honestly I was thinking something along those lines. Like is it really still considered just "maintenance" if the ride was falling apart and unrideable?

^That is certainly a curveball! I mean, the Ritz-Carlton doesn't even belong in the same universe as Six Flags!

^&^^Agreed. It's an awesome ride!

I got a high-end steakhouse, Red Robin, and Taco Bell in mine. Ooo, the plot thickens! Now I'm curious as to what other options there are and if it's based on what park you picked or what?

The survey was hilarious! This was my favorite question:

^&^^ KT legit was a Frog Hopper / Assorted rip off versions enthusiast!

^You just really love those imitation kiddie frog hoppers huh!?!?

That is a really neat idea! Love it!

I think I even saw a sign for this when we were in Times Square last month?

Yup, we were playing Pokemon Go in that food court! A nice Japanese man flagged us down and showed us a picture of the North America Exclusive Pokemon and we traded! We're still friends in the game now. I miss Japan and pretty much everything about it.

Many locals are assuming this is kind of a 'test' to see if we'll get a year round house similar to USH.

^I think it is? And what an odd location for the first!?!?
