It was 75 here last week and today we got almost 5 inches of snow. Sometimes it sucks living in the Midwest

I have a Samsung Galaxy On 5. Awful storage and pretty bland camera, but it gets the job done

Six Flags Great America sometime next weekend

Back when Valravn was being built, many people were annoyed by the excessive amount of webcam "update" posts since each one essentially had nothing new to show. But then someone noticed a boat had moved from the dock and the rest is history

Firehawk lives on!

Didn’t you guys hear? The park is installing a new coaster this year! Some pieces of track just arrived in the parking lot.
I hear it’s getting a Fortnite theme

I was on Six Flags Employment Website for Great Adventure and I noticed there hiring for a Wonder women and Batman walk around character.
Too bad they aren't looking for a Cyborg character too. I think there's one user on the forum who might be interested...

Volcano is being removed from the park
Part of getting ready for a new operating season includes an expert evaluation of our rides and operations. As a part of that evaluation, every aspect of our rides and attractions are analyzed, from guest satisfaction, throughput and rider capacity to reliability, uptime and maintenance. After thorough evaluation, the decision has been made to remove Volcano: The Blast Coaster. This wasn’t an easy decision for us, because we know that people love this one-of-a-kind coaster; however, over time it became nearly impossible to keep the ride up to our high standards of reliability and guest satisfaction, and for these reasons we had to make the tough call. We apologize to anyone who is inconvenienced by the removal, but hope they will understand that it was done to enhance the overall guest experience here at Kings Dominion. -

The Dark Knight at SFGAm tonight

^ And since the new Green Lantern movie is coming out that year, they won’t even have to spend a penny retheming it

SFGAm on New Years Eve (Assuming they don't close for the season early )

Adventureland building $6 million roller coaster
Thrill-seekers have a new roller coaster to look forward to this summer at Adventureland Park in Altoona.A spinning coaster called "The Phoenix" will open in June, featuring a four-seat car that spins 360 degrees as it goes up and down hills. Construction will start in late February.
"It's a whole new degree of craziness," said Molly Vincent, spokesperson for Adventureland.
The $6 million roller coaster will replace the Inverter, a ride that was discontinued in 2017 off the main boulevard. The Super Screamer was there until 1999.
Maurer Rides, a company from Germany, is manufacturing the roller coaster, which will reach speeds of 40 mph and over 50 feet in height, Vincent said.
The Phoenix is the first spinning roller coaster at Adventureland and is a "family roller coaster," Vincent said.
In comparison, Adventureland's last roller coaster, "The Monster," reaches heights of 133 feet.
"It's more twisty and diving," Vincent said.
The park will open for the weekends in April 2019.

According to Marcus LeShock, there was a lot of ice.
I'm at the park today and a lot more things are open. Raging Bull, Batman, Joker, V2, Demon, Dare Devil Dive, Lobster, Chubasco, Mardi Gras Hangover, and a few others opened today after being closed yesterday.
-
The only rides that ended up opening were Columbia Carousel, Rue Le Dodge, TDK, Whirligig, Winner's Circle, and Justice League.

Nice report! I’ve still never tried any of the special food items during Last Call.
Also, be glad you guys went yesterday. If you went today you would have basically experienced a repeat of your trip last year (Park closed at 4)

Sounds like Firehawk will not be opening today. According to someone on Reddit, the ride broke down last night and had to be evacuated. Guess that was the final straw
EDIT: Apparently it opened back up around 2:00
