They need to add a new ride(s) to every theme park every year. Busch Gardens Tampa has not only not added anything for 2 years straight but they've closed stuff (And left them to rot) during that time. They've also raised admission to $105. I hope all the people that wanted them to go public are happy. Oh well, Six Flags Tampa & Hurricane Harbor in 2020?

By what metric? I'm as frustrated as anyone about the budget cuts (especially at Busch Gardens Tampa) but that's a bit strong. DarKastle? Six Flags leaves rides open (Even during the low points of Premier/Shapiro), Adds rides (Don't think I'm biased but a 100ft Larson Looper sounds cooler than VR Simulator), Doesn't leave rides SBNO for years, Doesn't replace rides with "Events areas", and overall seems better managed. Seriously Six Flags America's 2018 addition is better than Busch Gardens Tampa's addition.

I said, As well as Lance from Screamscape said that it was a bad idea for the chain to go public. Glad money turned the chain from a 3rd tier (Under Disney/Universal) to a bottom tier (Below Six Flags) For a company that makes over a billion dollars a year and over $300m in EBITDA, I wanna know where the money is going? Some thoughts: - Low Cost for Dining Pass - Busch Gardens Name - Leasing the land under SeaWorld San Diego My wish: The company take a page out of Six Flags and add ride(s) to every theme park every year. No more off-years.

Can't wait to check it and the park out in 2019 -
Not to be a Coasterbill, but the skyride and the flume are must-rides. The skyride saves you some walking and gives off an awesome view of the animal habitats, and the flume is just straight up fun. Enjoy your trip! Thanks for saving me the trouble. Good work. Also, ride the train from Nairobi (sort of between Cheetah Hunt and Pantopia) to the Congo (sort of near Kumba). Going that way means you go by the animals on the Serengeti plain, plus it saves you a ton of walking. PS: Actually, the flume is down for refurb. Scratch that. Is the flume down for Rehab or SeaWorld Rehab cause there's a difference. Rehab- Ride's broken and needs to get fixed SeaWorld Rehab- Close a ride for 2-3 weeks/months for budget but say it's rehab

Cedar Point's 2019 Addition: A Coaster that breaks 26 World Records!!!! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

2 Things to defend Six Flags: - Valleyfair called their Northern Lights DiskO Coaster a Coaster before Six Flags called any Larson Loop a Coaster. - Six Flags called them coasters from the beginning, Cedar Point called theirs a coaster months AFTER it was announced. The only thing I can't wait for is Cedar Point's 201ft Model called LoopHawk with all of Cedar Point's 20 Records Broken

Blackpool or Flamingo (RCT3Bross) Need more help
Rollercoaster Rider replied to RCT3Bross's topic in Ask Alvey
I went to like 10-11 parks in the UK and Thorpe was my least favorite. I liked Adventure Island, Gulliver's Milton Keynes, Chessington, and Pleasureland Southport over Thorpe. -

Dora is basically sitting in a rapids ride and then with a speaker on top of the boat you go from Country to Country with Dora singing and saying hello in various languages. Think of it as a Dora version of Jungle Cruise with a speaker instead of a Skipper. Blackpool has older rides and more unique than Flamingoland, Big One is OK I guess, Doesn't have the Airtime of Rita.
