Nice! "Kobe!" Take that as you will. -

It's always interesting hearing a bunch of people wishing for water slides and an adult swim up bar. This year for Christmas I want a Power Rangers coloring book and bourbon glasses. -

Glad you had a good time. Yeah, FR though. -
^It's not just a money issue. Staffing is hard to find. The mystery remains about why more parks don't have Chance Hyper GT-X coasters. The best theory I have heard is price point. Some people broke it down years ago to where the GT-X models are expensive enough to price smaller parks out of the market. Yet, it's cheap enough where mid-larger size parks might spend a little extra for something more exciting. Kentucky Kingdom had everything for the perfect storm (pun intended) to make Lightning Run happen.

Big Bear Mountain is a family coaster. It's designed for kids 3 foot 3 to enjoy. That's why it didn't blow you away. The land was cleared to make construction possible. It will eventually grow in. -

How was your trip? -
Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

Since this is now a Six Flags park, I wonder if we can expect half of the effects to be broken by 2028. This is the same location as Boo Blasters, right? -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Just because it sucks there doesn't mean it has to suck everywhere else. Amy is right in her apprehension of the parks scattering advertisements throughout the mazes. It wouldn't surprise me. At the very least, I'm sure advertisements will be pretty obvious outside of the mazes. Or, have there always been sponsors? I haven't been paying attention. Hopefully parks will eventually learn they can squeeze more money out of guests by not only charging for admission, but then up charging for every "premium" roller coaster. "Get unlimited thrills on Blue Streak, Corkscrew, Magnum, and Millennium Force with all standard admission tickets! Enjoy extreme thrills like Maverick, Steel Vengeance, Valravn, Gatekeeper and more with the premium pass, or premium unlimited!" Orlando was humbling enough to realize people will pay for anything as long as it becomes the norm. Sorry about the rant. I get cranky on night shift. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Thanks for the report. I think Siren's Curse would have had a larger drop if it was actually meant for Cedar Point. They always go for the record breakers. I agree about Breakers. At face value, it's way overpriced. The location however, is priceLESS, in my opinion. Truly "a place like no other." The rooms though... eh. I went the first year of the upgrade. They were plain and small, but a nice place to be. This time around, ours was really showing its age with plenty of wear and places that could have used a deeper cleaning job. I wouldn't want CP to be my home park. Having it not be a destination would make it less special, in my opinion. There's an advantage of having the mediocrity of Six Flags Saint Louis as my home park, because it makes places like CP and KI feel that much better and worth the trip. It sounds like you had an awesome time. I'm glad you got to experience moments like that with your mom. That's special for sure. Cheers -

Oof. That's heavy. I hope it's not park safety related. -
Six Flags St. Louis (SFStL) Discussion Thread

I hope they have extra security for the large crowds. -
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you had a good time. Yeah, that place was trash when we were there two years ago. I can only imagine how much worse it had gotten. How were the people? The guests and employees at SFGAm are consistently the worst I have experienced, so I was wondering if you had the same impression.

We had a fantastic time. Thanks for asking. I took a ton of photos for a TR. I just haven't gotten around to it, yet. -
