“Cedar Fair Roller Coaster Construction” FB page just posted these photos:
When compared to Helix’s construction photos, you can definitely see the resemblance...

Can't wait to ride in a few weeks. I loved S:UF @ SFDK so I expect this to be just as amazing.

^Sorry to hear this. What amazes me is how guests can still be a$$holes to the employees and management when these types of situations are out of the park's control. SMH

^^ I feel you on this one. The joys of being married.

Unfortunately some of said enthusiasts are members of this forum....

Glad there were no serious injuries. I wonder if the root cause was mechanical or software related.

I will never understand why theme park nerds feel the need to always bitch and complain whenever one of these Premier coasters are announced at a park. They are a fun ride, the capacity never seems to be as bad as people make it out to be, they take up almost no room, and everyone seems to love them, including coaster enthusiasts. It seems to be a huge win for all parties.
Is it that theme park nerds feel they *NEED* to constantly complain about something and this is just an easy target? I honestly don’t know, but it’s super annoying.
I guess we’ll find out soon enough what they really are building.
Come on now, Robb. You're acting real brand new to this "Theme park nerd" thing.

Looks excellent! Thanks for the video, Robb.

^Wish more people had that mentality - Would keep the ride lines shorter.....

Hello all! I have a MacBook Air 13.3 (2017 Model) with macOS Sierra, 8Gb of ram, and 1.8Ghz Dual Core i5 processor. I recently installed Windows/NoLimits 2 via Parallels and I get this error whenever trying to load any track. I tried restarting Parallels and MacBook and problem persists. My graphics cards works fine throughout the windows environment and macOS Sierra. Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.

They have announced their 2018 schedule and people are SUPER upset they are open Christmas day
People are upset that Busch Gardens "Christmas Town" is open on Christmas???

Some people just aren't happy unless they're b*tching about something.

Does anyone recognize these seats? They kind of look like Apollo's seats but they're not the right color. They're on a Dorney truck.
Looks like Steel Force's seats.......

Thanks for the photos. They definitely didn’t waste any time getting started. Being an operator and lead at Screamin’ was definitely a highlight of my theme park career. Can’t wait to ride it again as Incredicoaster.

Regarding the parking lot trash cans, has any of you mentioned it to guest relations, or in your post visit surveys? I doubt members of management are in the guest parking lots very frequently to notice.
This statement right here shows how disconnected management is from their operation.

^^Waiting for someone to defend that........

Good stuff man! POs are underappreciated.

^Agreed. This park could be a gem if they invested in infrastructure.

Many part-time and seasonal Six Flags Magic Mountain employees are threatening to strike unless they receive health care benefits and paid time off, a representative of the International Association Of Machinists And Aerospace Workers said Thursday.
There are 170 employees with the union who work for the company, according to Directing Business Representative Sal Vasquez, and all of them voted “overwhelmingly” to strike at the end of the month unless they are granted health care and paid time off for bereavement and jury duty.
The employees’ contracts expire at the end of the month and they plan to proceed with their strike if Six Flags “refuses to bargain,” Vasquez said.
“It looks like there might not be movement,” the directing business representative said. “We’ll have no choice but to strike.”
The union workers, who include stage and maintenance crews, painters and mechanics, would also like higher wages, but the benefits are their top priority, Vasquez said.
“These are the guys who don’t have anything,” he said. “Respect and dignity on the job, that’s priceless.”
The union members feel Six Flags has an “anti-union” sentiment and is “dismissing” their call for benefits, according to Vasquez.
“Everyone said they were not satisfied with the company’s final offer (for the contracts),” Vasquez said. “We want Six Flags to come to the table and bargain a fair contract for all its employees.”
The park plans to continue operating as normal and the company aims to reconcile any differences with the union, according to Six Flags Magic Mountain Communications Manager Sue Carpenter.
“Six Flags Magic Mountain has always had a very positive relationship with the local union and we are continuing to negotiate in good faith,” Carpenter said. “Our goal is to avoid a work stoppage and to ensure no interruption in park operations. We always want our guests to have an amazing experience and so the park will be open, maintaining our high guest service standards.”
Clarification: Six Flags Magic Mountain offers a full benefits package, including health care and paid time off for bereavement and jury duty, to all of its full-time employees whether or not they are members of a union. Part-time employees are eligible for some benefits depending on the number of hours they work.
