I might actually go ride this coaster that I've lived 20 minutes from for the last 10 years.

I’ve a feeling you’ll survive regardless.

I was not prepared for Valhalla when we rode it back in 2018. We just thought "oh hey, here's a fun indoor log flume ride!" Didn't put on ponchos or anything. Needless to say, we spent a lot of time in those family dryers afterwards lol. Surprised you ended up liking Big One as much as you did. I, too, revered it from the picture books I had growing up, but it ended up being just a one-and-done for me. I suspect that the trains were more uncomfortable for me being a bigger guy. Steeplechase is an international treasure, and wars should be fought in the name of preserving it as long as possible.

I think that’s against the law in rural Indiana.

Those are the 2026 updates.

That looks beautiful! love the colors, too. Always appreciate an Ozymandias reference!

Looks like a nice balance of kid stuff and thrills. Great area for families - prefer seeing things like this where kid stuff just isn't segregated to one section but instead integrated around larger stuff (Hersheypark does a great job at this). This park routinely shows how it somehow is always a step above the rest of the company's lineup.

The Smiler theme in the queue music is still an earworm in my and my wife's ears 7 years later.

New for 2025 - trees! Seriously though, like changes like this.

My Eagles are Super Bowl champions!!! Didn't just win - CRUSHED THEM! GROUND THEM INTO THE DIRT! Make Hurts pass? FAFO!! Cooper DeJean PICK-6 on his BIRTHDAY?! #NotASafety SILENCE THE DOUBTERS!! Fly Eagles Fly!

And skibidy everything.

Not really worried about DDD, but man, I really hope they have a truly solid plan for upcoming changes and new additions. They're gutting some really big / important stuff from this park.

Are we incapable of putting more than one sentence within a single post?

Fun addition that looks like a supercharged version of the Ripsaw ride they removed a while back. Side note, Alton Towers, more than any other park, seems to pride itself on selecting ride names that would find perfect homes within Roller Coaster Tycoon scenarios.
