From what I hear it's not worth relocating - beyond its service life.

Hyper shuttle coaster if you still want to use the word.

I believe the distances I maintained would fit behind the restrooms and changing rooms. There's a fair bit of space in between Batman and HH.

Unfortunately if they do get Gravity Group to add precut the most they seem to install in an off season is ~1500ft. Many parks combine that with additional traditional retracking in order to maximize the short term benefit - even knowing that precut will be installed on most of the rest of the layout in future off seasons. I had illustrated before that a U-shaped hyper should work running along the railroad with a turnaround near the front gate.

With GCI being involved in The Boss' work I do wonder if this would mean they'll bring Gravity Group in to install precut track on Eagle as Cedar Fair has already done on other PTC coasters.

I'm not sure if IROC changes the rates or not. But I'd be confident in saying that using ONE standard throughout the company is easier and therefore cheaper to maintain and improves employee flexibility.

IROC standards have different guidelines and margins. PTC's L bars under IROC warrant a 48 inch height requirement as do most of the Arrow train designs hence the Mine Trains changing to 48 inches as well. Cedar Fair has switched out the Six Flags safety standards with IROC. The irony is it appears any B&M with vests should be able to recertified at 48 inches instead of 54 now - and this is IROC-compatible. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18n6wEn4R3/

The reviews seem to be positive from the non-masochists. But they all say there's not enough Titan Track. If Cedar Fair was only going to buy X number of feet of it this offseason they should have really just ordered the 400ft Prowler got for The Boss too. Prowler isn't actually rough and I'm pretty sure they've already done ipe retracking on it.

So much rain opening day was postponed.

I don't think it ever opened in 2024 either. That'd be two years SBNO. Honestly I think that land would be better used if they tore it, the French restrooms and Mooseburger down and built a new restaurant. The new restaurant should be something like the Pavilion at CP, Lazy Bear Lodge in Canada or Miami River Brewhouse. It's more land than would be needed but it can open things up a bit and perhaps allows for some modifications to The Hill to make it easier to climb now that there isn't a restaurant there. It's a lot - but Cedar Fair IS pretty focused on elevating dining. Even at some less-loved parks like Dorney. The 3 restaurants I mentioned each sit on around 15k sq/ft. That would easily fit in this area in a bunch of ways.

I get the new T-bar restraint height requirement increase. I just don't understand why the same height increase was done on Mine Trains that don't have T-bars like Fiesta's, that's where my complaint lies. They said they're expecting a June opening.

The Carousel Update: https://www.facebook.com/share/17cpa8Ldbr/ Looks like it opens in June.

I'm not sure why the SFStL Mine Train doesn't have the bench inserts and contoured bar like Dahlonega or Runaway. They'd be harder to squirm out of I'd think. PS: Road Runner Express doesn't have a T-Bar.

Could Mine Train be getting less family friendly? https://screamscape.com/html/corporate_park_news.htm#SixFlags

The park needs some repairs after the storm.

Iron Wolf should be going to the scrap heap.

I mean that's literally what Cedar Fair parks would do. Spread rides out a bit compared to Six Flags and invest in park improvements in between. The opening weekend reports out of Over Georgia are very positive with people saying that it's already picking up some of a Cedar Fair feel.

The maze at Batman is down opening the path between Batman and Buccaneer.

Prowler is receiving about 400ft of Titan Track too. I'm guessing The Boss will get more than that but not sure how much more.

I'm okay with there not being an RMC conversion if this fixes the severe rapid track wear problem AND they get new trains. Seriously those Gerstlauer trains on this intense of a ride aren't a good fit.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1BJCP5dhzd/ More new track headed to The Boss? Zoom and enhance. That's Titan Track.

They're finally removing the old radio control boat pond. And the chariots for the carousel are now being painted. IIRC the chariots were supposed to be the last thing they did. https://www.facebook.com/share/14uk43DMtB/

The major update today is a shot from inside Joker's Funhouse.

The thing about the memberships is they used to be the same price or even lower than the passes in total cost annually. Now you HAVE to pay the $20 initiation fee which makes the first year of Gold $22 higher than the pass, and every year after is still $2 higher. And you still have to pay the All Park Passport all at once. I don’t think the membership is what it once was. The Prestige membership is $6 lower annually than the pass, outside of that $20 initiation fee.
