However, in the end we both think we could have had just as much fun, if not more, by watching and riding all of the bullshit rides with our daughter. For us, sharing new experiences with her is an irreplaceable feeling compared to trying to relive our past.
Hear hear.
I imagine it may change a bit for us back in the other direction as our kids get older and gravitate towards the larger stuff, but all depends.

Great Nor'easter rides great for an SLC now, but granted that was a ground-up rebuild. Time will tell with this one I guess.

Funnily enough, I get that way, too. For some reason I do it with animals more. Every time I see someone petting a cat in an older movie I immediately default to remembering that cat is long gone by now.

It's a restricted video. Hosted on a page that limits access.
Appreciate you clarifying the content in your second post, but this is why it's always recommended to post a description / summary of a link's content up front within the forum in case the link is restricted, behind a paywall, or deleted.
EDIT: I see it's no longer restricted, thanks.

I'm getting really confused as to the direction of this thread...
Appreciate the paleo book recommendation though.

Glad you had a good time. I've been trying to keep your experiences with your daughter in mind as we've navigated new ride experiences for my daughter. She, too, is tall for her age but still young (won't be 3 until mid-November but is already almost 3.5ft tall). Fortunately, she's very brave and likes to try new rides, but has stopped short of coasters. We went to Storybook Land here in NJ last week which had a ton of rides she could do, all of which she rode enthusiastically except for Bubbles the Coaster, to which she said to us "I think I need to be just a little bit bigger first". She keeps asking about coasters, though, and asks to watch videos of coasters every now and then, so I figure it's just a matter of time so long as I don't force it.

Plans have leaked, you can find them elsewhere on the internet. Not gonna post them here out of respect for the rules and the Alveys' relationship with the parks.

That's an... interesting layout. Looks like a lot of fun, though. Glad something will finally fill Volcano's absence.

Well, had I done anything more than the bare minimum research, I would have learned that only the middle pier opened up at 1 PM and the outside two piers opened at 5 PM. Oops.
I was actually there yesterday with my mom and 2 year old and we made the same miscalculation. Ended up on the pier with GNE first and didn't realize it didn't open until 5 until after my daughter had already picked out with horse she wanted on the carousel. Ended up being fine, just walked down to the middle one anyway.

THIS, however - with all the great pizza at the boardwalk (Mack's, Sam's, Franconi's, etc.), you really chose Dominos? I mean, look, I get how kids can certainly be (and mind you I'm playfully teasing you a bit here), but at some point parents have to prevent them from making terrible, life-altering decisions like eating chain pizza at the Jersey shore.

I see Zach is getting more and more proficient with ChatGPT.

And apparently had nothing else worthwhile going on over the last 18 months for a throwaway comment to live rent free in their heads like that...

I like that these smaller model boomerangs have become more popular in recent years.

Needs to be restated x1000 times, TBH. Maybe get a skywriter to circle above the park on clear days. I'm one of the "lucky" ones who got to experience this back in 2016, but I'm much more excited this coaster can actually manage some semblance of a normal operating cycle now.

A little but nothing significant. The park shared some photos a while back on their social media pages.

Isn't it Project 305 now?

I'm just happy I'll hopefully never have to hear the stupid nickname ThighCrush ever again...

We ended up renting a cabin a while back when we stayed in Pigeon Forge. Made it a lot more enjoyable. Wasn't significantly more than local hotels were, either. Another option to consider depending on how much time you're looking to spend in the area.

I thought they actually did that already, didn't they? Or I might be thinking of Viper at SFMM.

^ Me too, especially as someone who's purposefully cut ties with nearly all social media. I totally get it, but it's depressing nonetheless. At this point I'm curious if Robb and Elissa keep it around simply because it's too painful to pull the plug.

Nope, no seatbelts!!

Six Flags / Cedar Fair is small potatoes compared to what's currently on FTC's plate. The worst case scenario of them possibly selling off 1-2 parks is honestly something they're probably going to do anyway simply to optimize operational resources.

Which country in Europe has the fastest roller coaster?
in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
