I'd imagine the reasoning is similar to why Six Flags uses generic DC merch across its parks with little merch specific to their rides: IP usage and branding. You're never going to see a Superman: Ultimate Flight shirt--just a generic Superman shirt. How much merch is their for non IP attractions at Six Flags parks? It could also depend on how much (if any) merch was made using the Starfall Racers name before the change. -
The "Say Something Random" Thread

Writing a poem about the political climate with undertones of nihilism and futilism all while wrapped in the metaphor of riding a roller coaster is hard. -
There could also be insurance/legal reasons why Darien Lake only runs one train. Remember when New Jersey said that Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro could not both be in cycle at the same time?

While I'd normally be a fan of this kind of news, not in this instance as it seems to signal that the park intends to keep Flight Deck around for that much longer. The park could do better than a basic SLC and at say, Michigan's Adventure, these trains would be much more well received. -
It's the Jeffrey Siebert effect.

At least the park's final day went better than Valleyfair's last day of the season on Saturday night. They deserved that, at least.

Any idea where this section of track will be placed on the layout?

While I am excited and I am trembling, the latter is because I have a cold. Depending on how this looks and when it'll actually open, I'm looking at taking a 12 hour detour into Arlington next year at the start of my main coaster trip.

It's more of a Six Flags cutback kind of situation. Land was cleared, signs teasing a new attraction were in the park. Maybe it's still on? Maybe Vekoma needs some more time with the design?
-
It's still just a five year deal. Unless they've always done five year deals, they could be evaluating what to do with the IP going forward.

I wonder how much is management vs training. Bugs can happen anywhere with improper cleaning, but I still can't imagine 5 inches of coleslaw on my arm. That would have to have gotten into the glove as well, right? *Side-eyes bacon pretzel fury, or whatever it's called now*

Per several reports across social media, Pantherian has opened. -
Valleyfair (VF) Discussion Thread

The park has announced that it will be closing half of the water park on August 10th to be bulldozed for 2026 water park expansion. More details to be announced at a later date. With how much land they're clearing and how early the work is starting tells you just how large the scale of this investment will be. I wonder how much will be new versus relocations from Six Flags America.

Looks fun. It'll be interesting just how much themeing the ride will have when it opens.

This makes me a little sad I skipped the park when I was in the San Antonio area in November 2020. The when I was there was ultimately why I skipped it.
