Thankfully I reached my goal of starting 2000 by the end of March, so the frantic "Every other day" updates will stop. Next update will probably be on Tuesday. -RC --- Friday April 14th, 2000 Opening Day - 3 NEW rides!!! Today marks the start of season #9 here at the Kingdom, and as you can see by the poster, the park is introducing not one, not two, but THREE new flat rides for 2000! At 225 ft. tall, the new Dare Devil Dive skycoaster is even taller than Mr. Freeze! Chaos (Chance Chaos) was the first new ride I went to check out This is the first season since 1992 in which this space is in use! My final thoughts? It's a really fun ride, pretty intense. Got to say, it seems like a lot of people can't handle the constant flipping of the seats, quite a few people lost their lunch on it. --- 7.5/10 Dare Devil Dive was next (Note to self: Plant trees in this area :?) This is the park's first up-charge attraction since Mountain Climber (1993-1996) WOW! That was a rush. --- 9/10 (Have to deduct a half point for the up-charge bit ) Finally, we have Frontier Fling, a Huss Breakdance attraction utilizing the former space of Mine Shaft Drop (1992-1996) They really made it look nice alongside Mr. Freeze Yet another intense ride, with a very long cycle. Easy 8.5/10 Also new for 2000 is the Picnic Pavilions area For a small amount you and your party of up to 90 people can rent out a section to eat in The 2000 additions are great and all, but we can't forget about 1999! Still a phenomenal ride The Tower of Doom is now 1 of 4 rides that surpasses 200 ft. Even though the weather wasn't right, some brave parkgoers decided to take a quest on The Lost Rapids A rumor has surfaced that Connecticut Twister will run backwards for Fright Fest this year. Guess we'll have to wait to find out A young guest enjoys a drive on Connecticut Cruisers See you later --Jacob Karse--- ---

Drone guy is back! EDIT: Looks like the footage is quite old, but it was released yesterday. Still has some pretty cool perspectives

--- Sunday October 31st, 1999 Halloween - Final update of the 1990's Today is the last day you can visit SFCK before the new millennium begins! Mr. Freeze's first season at the park is coming to an end It was running a bit sluggish due to the cold fall breeze, but it's still a solid ride Haunted Ranch reopened at the beginning of October following a 4 month long renovation The first notable change is this shiny plaque in the station A subtle ghost animatronic slides along the track The park added an arch and some fake blood to one of the "hallways" Random zombie face hanging from a wall The animated props, like this one, were my personal favorites It'd be cool if they gave the ride a distinct storyline but the random cheesy props are pretty nice A pair of skeleton arms sticking out from the walls welcome riders back to the station Rumors have began to circulate as to what might be added to SFCK in 2000. The current one is that the park may be adding a couple of flat rides next year. While not a crazy War on Lines event like Six Flags Great Adventure pulled off for this year, it seems that the park may be looking to fill a few voids with new attractions. Evidenced by the lack of trees, I wouldn't be completely surprised if something turned up in this spot One particular rumor (From a trusted source, too) that excites me is the possible addition of a thrilling flat ride to fill the vacancy left by the park’s original Diner, torn down after the 1992 season You may have heard about the accident on El Starfish that occurred last month.. the ride has sat vacant ever since and according to park officials, will most likely reopen next April Verdugo nearly stalled in the boomerang element due to the temperature Dracula the Musical was showing at the Americana Theater As per the usual, it had that "Family friendly" twist on it, but it was entertaining, nevertheless 4 years and 5 seasons later, Hurricane is still storming on Connecticut Twister received some fog misters Goodnight Connecticut! ---Jacob Karse--- ---

--- Saturday September 18th, 1999 Man dies at Six Flags Connecticut Kingdom ---

--- Sunday August 29th, 1999 End of August Local schools started up again this week(And tonight was a school night ), so today was quite the opposite of my last visit Verdugo was an excellent way to start my day. Looking at this picture reminds me, I've always thought the color choices for the trains was kind of weird. Black and red coaster with baby blue and yellow trains? Maybe it was a budget thing, I suppose the park was somewhat in poor shape at the time it was added. Remember when Aquaman Splashdown (Formerly Klondike River Splashdown) was the "New big thing that everyone had to ride"? Ah, how times have changed... Two guests enjoying an early morning spin on El Scrambler Back in 1992 I told you guys that Americana Swings was a Chance Yo-Yo ride, but I recently found out from Mr. Heage (Former owner of the park for those who haven't been reading for that long) that it is actually a Chance Aviator. I noticed that the Skee Ball game in front of Americana Swings has been removed. New food stand perhaps? The roof of Yogi's Yahoo Cups provides for a cool photo Spacely's Sprocket Rockets is a great beginner coaster The front pond is quite a nice place to be around on a light-crowded day No caption needed Marathon time! Sky Wheel is definitely the more thrilling of the park's 2 Ferris Wheels Pontchartrain Bay could really use a new attraction. I feel like it got a ton of attention during the Heage era but it seems to be neglected by Six Flags On the other hand, for a park only in it's third season under Six Flags, Connecticut Kingdom has a solid DC area. After a trip to Six Flags Over Texas in July, I've now been on all 3 of the Mr. Freeze clones, and ours is still my favorite Back row feels so out of control in reverse, it's awesome! Quite the nice collection of rides. I think this part of the park is set in stone for a few years Cocina Picante is pretty popular with guests Not the best idea to plaster advertisements all around one of the most unpopular rides Goodnight! ---Jacob Karse--- ---

Can someone post a list of the park's Bring a Friend for Free/Discount days for 2017? I can only view the dates for SFGAm for some reason

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, really appreciate it! I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you Noted --- Let me start off by saying, today was not my favorite visit to the park Six Flags Connecticut Kingdom is trying something out this summer where elementary school aged kids can get free tickets after reading a certain number hour of books, and today was the last day the tickets were valid. As you can see by the picture, crowds were anything but light Must've been a nice view of the crowded parking lot from the 2 towers Quick Pass was a must today. On a related note, I heard that it might be renamed the "Fast Pass" for 2000, Nothing too major, but still noteworthy Ah, the looks I got while entering this line I've probably taken this picture 20 times but it just looks great Sounds of Summer returned this year, and I was lucky enough to catch one of the final performances of the season! They finally decided to add props this year Who could forget about Mr. Freeze? Me. I could forget about Mr. Freeze If I didn't have a quick pass, that is Premier goodness Harley Quinn was one of the few rides without a line Uh, no thank you. Even if you hate it, you have to admit Grand Stand is very photogenic Same with Scream Machine Connecticut Cruisers is quite the enjoyable ride Yup, it was not a pretty sight in the parking lot Last ride of the night! 'Til next time! ---Jacob Karse--- ---

If you still don't believe it, Drop of Doom is now 100% Confirmed

This isn't directly a meme, but is there a better way to ask someone to prom?

--- Friday July 9th, 1999 July We're in the midst of a hot summer season here at Six Flags Connecticut Kingdom! This is the first I've seen Mr. Freeze closed. Heard there was some sort of problem with the LIMS in the morning, but it did open up later in the day Who doesn't love looking at Mr. Freeze from over 30 stories in the sky? You know it's going to be a crowded day when the new ride is closed.. Atleast there was another DC ride running The outdoor seating area for Andre's Diner is a great place to sit back and enjoy a drink Skee Ball, an amusement park classic Standing while up-side down is a joy! There was some weird Indian show playing at the Americana Theater. Sometimes I feel like this park is spot on in the entertainment department, other times it feels like they hired someone off of Craigslist.. Dodgems would be much more fun if the floor was wider Verdugo's location relevance to Sky Tower allows for some iconic photos At around 5:00, Mr. Freeze opened up, right as I was about to walk up to Verdugo's empty station (It had also just re-opened from a breakdown, but that's no surprise) I got on and off as quickly as possible (Zen ride!) and bolted it down the exit ramp While it was limited to a 1 train operation, the line went by rather quick, and I was able to score a front row ride! My last ride of the day was on Hurricane I was a bit hungry so I picked up a sub at Orleans Subs before heading out. (That is not me in the picture, by the way haha) ---Jacob Karse--- ---

^Someone posted the article on sfgamworld, but took it down after 2 or so minutes

GURNEE, IL. — March 22, 2017 — Six Flags Great America today announced an all-new virtual reality attraction.

Sorry for the double post Looks like the Falcone's idea has been dismissed, the park released this picture on Snapchat of Angelo's transforming into Capone's Kitchen:

2 updates via Snapchat The Lobster's cars Hometown Park ride assembly

--- Monday June 21st, 1999 June The park was quite crowded today Verdugo, Aquaman, and Mr. Freeze all in one shot Mr. Freeze's back-spike is definitely the best drop in the park But Verdugo's is a close second Four more months until Haunted Ranch re-opens. Cocina Picante has received some outdoor seating Along with some nice guest-operated coke machines (Anyone notice the easter egg in this pic? ) I've always loved how close Grand Stand gets to it's namesake gift shop Zipper remains one of the park's most attention-grabbing flats, boasting a longer line than Grand Stand on most days The clothing selection at Main Gate Gifts is pretty basic Swingset is a classic I haven't mentioned Nutmeg Cafe in ages, so here you go Same with Ferris Wheel Snacks Sky Wheel lookin' fine in the sunshine (I should stop with the rhymes, lol) The Lost Rapids is always a fun ride Hurricane's been having some mechanical troubles lately The Tower of Doom still wins best flat ride in the park, in my opinion Time to head out After a quick game at the New England Games Gallery, that is ---Jacob Karse--- ---

Probably animal kingdom Would you rather be on the first train ever, or last train ever on a coaster?

Yes Did you ride a B&M Invert in 2013?

I apologize for the extremely late update - I originally intended to have it out March 8th but quite a few things (Mainly my in-game camera not working) led to me laying it off until now. Still planning to wrap up 1999 before April so updates will be frequent for the rest of the month. -RC --- Thursday June 3rd, 1999 June The summer season has officially began here at Six Flags Connecticut Kingdom! Mr. Freeze is still kicking major ice since it's debut last month Yep. Best coaster in the park Mr. Freeze, Gotham Gifts, Crimewave Cafe, Batwing... Gotham Backlot is starting to have too much blue Grand Stand - Sponsored by Chupa Chups. I see the traditional Six Flags advertising has spread to our park Full shot of Mr. Freeze A Haunted Ranch make-over, eh? I didn't see this one coming at all Must be something big.. seems promising Something looks different here I love the views of the Connecticut Twister from Connecticut Cruisers The empty midways are a pleasant site to see What's in the reflection? Ah, it's Hurricane Riding Lake Pontchartrain Boat Tours by yourself is.. awkward I'm surprised this clearance is even legal Aquaman Splashdown is even better this season since it gives great visuals of Mr. Freeze Great way to cool off on a hot June day like today 2 wheels, 1 pic Have to finish off on the best ride A nice sunset shot taken from off property. ---Jacob Karse--- ---

Haven't been on either, but no Have you ever seen Animaniacs?

Hey you know what??? Go f*ck yourself! You dont read my posts fine but why do you need to announce it? Again go f*ck yourself! Im sick of the egotistic people on this site. No what I dont need this sh*t. F*ck this sh*t. When you finally snap xD

Mark your calendars... Opening weekend is now 4/14-4/16

I think a good replacement for V2 if it's removed would be a Zamperla Giant Discovery. Decent capacity, impressive stats, and overall seems like it would be a great fit for the park. (You could argue that we already have Revolution but the ride experience is quite different and SFDK and La Ronde also had Frisbees and still got a GD) Given the location relevance to Batman and Joker, a DC theme would probably be likely as well. Currently placing my bets on a water coaster for 2018, though

Might as well give 'em Columbia and Sky Trek at this point, lol

To make it worse, it was worth 50% of your grade RCT3 won't let me take in-game pictures
