I've learned that Mom is always right, even when she isn't.

I mean... if the restraints cause no pain people won't complain about them causing pain. The restraints ruined it for us. Aside from that, we might go back this summer. What are the big differences between Hershey Hotel and Hershey Lodge? We had fun at the lodge in 2019. This time around, we're going to spend 2 days at the park and 2 days doing whatever. We're going to take a day to hang out by the pool. The Hotel seems to be geared a little more toward relaxation/luxury. That might be our ticket this time around.

At least you have concrete. SFSTL hasn't even moved any dirt in Joker's spot.

lmfao @ no activity at Joker's location. Status quo for Six Flags. At least the Carousel looks like it's running good.

If you like really intense rides, you'll love I305. It was a little much for more than a few rides for us, but we're in the minority. Enjoy.

God damn, Shakespeare. I made it two paragraphs before I scrolled down and realized I was reading a novel about a toddler themed indoor amusement park, located in a shopping mall.

It doesn't work that way with all kids. She knows the difference between a simulator and the real rides. She's afraid. It's fine.

en·ti·tled adjective believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment. "kids who feel so entitled and think the world will revolve around them" Explain to me how someone is entitled because they don't like Six Flags parks, or at least compared to other parks.

That's good to hear.

That's as close to a roller coaster my daughter will ever get for another ten years.

I'm not taking the time to find it, but I saw a side by side POV somewhere where LR was running at nearly the exact same speed pre-launch. But, I'd be willing to trust the word of a guy who pretty much rides roller coasters for a living over someone watching YouTube. I'm all for the consumer over the corporation, but damn. I'm sure you'll get a few ten-year-olds boasting about how the ride "sucks" now, despite riding it... Even with the outliers, in a couple years no one will care anymore. A large portion of guests will never know it had a launch. I bet they will love it over a "ride's closed" sign. RMC and DW rolled the dice on LR and they lost. Better choices could have been made, maybe. Regardless, I'll just be happy to know if I ever go back to DW again I will actually be able to ride LR.

Probably COVID.

what?

Yeah. The most scary part to me is that it's a private sector arms race at this time to see who can make the best programs the fastest, without thinking about the consequences. God only knows haw fast governments are moving on it. This will be ether a spectacular success, or failure catastrophic to all of us who have absolutely no say so. I'm not a fan of government regulation, but I feel the need for some kind of intervention. Everyone is so concerned with us vs. them social issues right now that most people I talk to have absolutely no idea this is all happening. (by design?) Those most influential with AI claim it will be immeasurably more significant than the industrial revolution, and it will happen much faster than anyone will see coming.

Call Prince Desmond.

It will remain a season long "Project" until it's announced as one of Six Flags' tallest fastest coasters for 2025. Get ready for actioned packed thrills on Mrs. Flash. People will continue to debate whether Mrs. Flash or Green Lantern Girl at Six Flags Charlotte is better.

no.

It's hard work, though. But, I'm sure you remember when small things like this brought a lot of excitement. We live four hours away and I told my wife about it. It's pretty likely it will draw us in all the way from St. Louis for an easy weekend trip. Eve will be four, so we're right in the wheelhouse.

Graphic designers and writers are going to be some of the first to be fucked by this. People who ghost write and do similar small scale tech jobs on the side are going to be out of work before they know it. Tip of the iceberg.

I'm satisfied that one day I will have lower my expectations for the ride experience instead of lowering my expectations for being able to ride it at all.

Tell me you don't have a young kid without telling me you don't have a young kid.

Tear it down and risk losing our Coaster Capital of Missouri status? We'll be right back here: I hope you don't work in marketing, Steve. You're trying to send us right into the Stone Age by dipping us back into the single digits. Get out.

The only Six Flags parks I would keep are Great Adventure (reluctantly) and Georgia. Kentucky Kingdom really isn't that great. You're not missing anything by skipping it. Dump those and spend time at other parks. Or, break up the monotony and see a few other things along the way.

It's Six Flags. They take the path of least resistance and don't care of such things. That, and/or it may have had something to do with infrastructure, land grading, and whatever other factors we don't know. Engineering vs. architecture. The architect makes it look beautiful, but the engineer has to make it work. Most parks seem to choose one or the other. Places like Disney or Universal have the scratch to make both work.
