New event looks pretty great! I like the all-ages approach more parks are going to.

Yes you can do both in one day. Probably won't need Fastlane to do it. Yes, you can go out through the OOF gate. There's a little side path they direct you through once OOF closes.

You mean the list of companies that is splattered across every single page of their website? Must have missed it.

The first thing I noticed, yes, mainly because it was in the first sentence. But you're right, the rest of her resume is pretty gross too. Especially that "Forbes List of Self-Made Women" bit. As if there is such a thing as self-made at all, but in her case we have generations of wealth and power. I started off skeptical of this, and the more I find out about it, the sketchier it seems.

Ugh, that's disappointing. Tulsa deserves a theme park. Really every city of Tulsa's size should have one. I want for this to happen, but it keeps seeming like Bell gets in his own way. I keep going back and forth between I will support him whenever this opens, and giving up entirely on the dude as a lost cause. I don't know. Do or do not, there is no try.

"Daughter of charter school investor." Ugh.

Haven't been to Mexico, but I agree with you that Fiesta Texas and Great Adventure are both awesome and for completely different reasons. Just like Texas and New Jersey are both shitshows, but for very different reasons.

Thank you!

Are the water rides usually open at the beginning of the year?

It's definitely through that website. They mention a "learning marketplace," whatever that means. I've looked through the website, and it's chock full of business jargon. Nothing about it resembles any higher ed site I've seen. I'm just getting serious red flags from the site. Don't like this vibe one bit.

^ Valravn at most other parks would be the pride of that park. That's just true and can be accepted as such by people who don't want to buy Cedar Point's trash.

So...the tuition is only good if it's to this for-profit quasi-college?

Ah, I see now that I misread the post and thought Six Flags over Georgia was the first park rather than Texas. Carry on.

I think your best bet is going to be to wait until March. I don’t think this deal is going to be exclusive to those three parks, it's just that those are the three parks open year-round. SFOG will be open in about a month, so we should see pretty soon what sort of all-park passes they offer. Four months in advance is plenty, overkill even for an international trip. No need to buy any tickets/passes now.

^ Herschend isn't part of this deal at all, in any way. The previous Sea World CEO came from HFE, but he's been gone a couple years now. No idea what you're talking about.

I've come to expect no better of him.

^ This is the sort of winter storm that causes Texans to go to Cancun, right?

Cool! Galaxies are fun really. Cheap way for a lot of small parks to add another coaster. I know we all have been on one, so they aren't as exciting to us, but most people will be happy. They're especially good as a kid's first big coaster.

They get exactly the attention this park deserves. Sorry no one wants to build a gigacoaster in a rust belt town with zero tourists.

Mystic River Falls will be running. SDC has all of their water rides open on opening day and runs them through the end of October, unless temperatures go below freezing (very rare here). Do the cave tour in the afternoon. The last tour is 1.5 hours before park close. You're better off running to coasters, then doing the cave later in the day, then finishing up with re-rides. You don't have to leave the park to do the cave tour. Sorry, I've literally never bought a one-day ticket, just season passes for three decades, so I have no idea what they charge.
