Love that they are actually fixing up a few needed rides as opposed to just removing them. I wonder if EPR is trying to sell to SF?

I would not be surprised if SF does not "brand" rides at SFDL because they only operate the park, not own it. If the were to officially purchase it from EPR, then they would have more skin in the game and I bet you would see characters everywhere

If they have a second train for Motocoaster, they need to run it more often. That coaster has some of the longest lines in the park. I have not seen it on the transfer track, so I just figured the second train was used for parts

But viper actually has a second train they could use, they just choose not to. For ROS and Moto, they need to go purchase new trains

I know most days the park isn't that busy, but from a service standpoint they really should have two trains for ROS, Motocoaster and Tantrum. They don't have to run them daily but when needed

If they are spending money to fix the Boomerang, hopefully they have ordered new trains for ROS and Motocoaster at the very least

Screamscape is saying SFDL is getting 3 new pieces of track for Boomerang. I have not ridden it in a long time, but it was always pretty smooth. Any thoughts on where it will go? My understanding is it could use a new lift motor more than anythjng

SFDL posted on their FB page a flat bed trailer with a bunch of Titan Track on it. Hopefully more shows up in the coming days. Where on it do you think it will go? I think either the third turnaround or the two hills after the second turnaround.

I am seeing almost all the other SF parks making their announcements hoping SFDL has at least something coming this year. They seem to be spending a good amount of money this year, so I am hopeful

Has anyone been to the park this year yet? Wondering if any of the small upgrades I keep hearing about at other SF parks happened at DL?

I have a feeling it's just that first turnaround. If you take a look, there is new wood to the left of the track. I don't see it anywhere else in that picture

Apparently Big Kahuna's conveyor belt broke and fried the motor, so either that needs to be replaced or the entire slide needs to go. Not sure what's up with Heave Ho, but it's such a small footprint that you couldn't put much in that spot. The Closed for the season post is very weird considering the park doesn't open until May

^agreed 100%. A good classic wooden coaster is a thing of beauty. Companies like GCI were making these wooden coasters with highly banked twisting drops and lateral movements. The just didn't hold up. Give me The Comet at Great Escape or Blue Streak at CP over those any day

Sorry, it's hard to tell. I just saw the turn. Hopefully they show updates soon or at least say what parts are getting the new track

Looks like they are at least doing the first main turnaround at the very least. I hope it's not just that turn but a few other rough spots too

^ I agree. Having two dead ends in a similar spot is silly. I wonder if they can't put a path so close to the Boomerang or something.

Screamscape is reporting more Titan Track for Predator in 2023. If they did that and got second trains for ME, ROS and Motocoaster I would be happy with those additions

I can tell you that the park is closed on Tuesdays and closes for the day at 7 except for Friday and Saturday when they close at 9. Usually as long as there is not a concert it's not so busy

Where? Can you post it or ask the person who shot it to post it?

Did anyone go to the park this weekend to see if Predator is any better with the Titan Track on the death turn?

I was looking around the SFDL website the other day and I got a pop up asking me to join the six flags advisory panel. They send out surveys about the park and future and current plans. It seemed like a great opportunity to have a say in future rides and other things that happen

A few rides or coasters being painted would be nice. It would also be nice to see grizzly run fully removed if they are not bringing it back.

Screamscape is reporting that Six Flags corporate is going through some restructuring where the park presidents will report to the CEO and have more say in yearly park improvements. With that being said, if you were the park president, what would you add? I would RMC predator add a true family coaster, an interactive dark ride and a frisbee/discovery. Obviously these would be over 5-6 years, but all things the park could use.

That is a pretty sad list of rides open. I wonder if the did some kind of rotation where ops went to other rides later in the day or this was just how they went. I know staffing is a huge issue everywhere, and always has been at DL after Labor Day, but that list of rides is not really worth going for

I was at the park today and have to say that it seemed extremely busy. Maybe because it was a Saturday or a concert day, but it was busy. It does however look like the park is terribly understaffed. Lines for food were 45 minutes or more. They also appeared to have some rides on a rotation program where certain flat rides were not open but then opened an hour or so later.
