Those renderings look amazing! If 10% of this is built it will be an absolutely beautiful park. If half of it gets built, it will be a destination. Good luck to them!
Definitely get Fastlane+. Even late season those lines can get super long on weekends. Fastlane+ will take care of you on coasters and big flats; beyond that, it depends on what you like to do. If you need downtime, Melt is a good place to chill, as is Chickie's and Pete's. Cedar Downs and the Skyride are both underrated--don't skip those.
Oh yeah, D23 time! Epcot is looking fantastic, can't wait to see how this all turns out in the next few years. They've got some great plans to revitalize what was already a great park.
Looks like a fun Fair so far! Local craft draft is always welcome. Yay for trans-friendly bathrooms...sorry on behalf of the United States for being asshats about that. And WTF is that paint job. It's really impressive, sure, but on that car? I don't get it.
Tiktok's got roller coasters, but I haven't seen any enthusiasts there yet. Just cool people.
The point is, the kids are going to see a new coaster and not care about who made it. Most of them will think Six Flags designed it in house anyway. No one but enthusiasts cares about who manufactures what.
I went around this time last year and lines weren't too bad. A few coasters had 30 minutes or so on that Saturday. FastLane+ isn't a necessity, but it's still a good purchase.
