Catwoman isn't on the homepage anymore either. You'll still find it on the what's new page but imagine they'll clean that up. -

Oh my that's gorgeous. Reminds me of Over Georgia's sign at the entrance. -

That's hilarious. All they'd really have to do is ask the park for footage and they'd send them to the park's YouTube channel. -

Very nicely and politely said Kim. As to those who say just "don't go", well ... we already shelled out over $700 for our five passes and dining passes. They aren't giving refunds. Extending the passes a few months or discounting renewals won't likely do us anything for us. Cedar Fair is extending their season passes through 2021. Perhaps Six Flags should do the same? Mike Unfortunately (or fortunately) they'll probably make that call based on how 2020 goes. -

I've bought some gaiters made from cooler fabric so hopefully those are more comfortable for wearing outside. There are also conventional masks made with the same lightweight athletic shirt materials. Those would be worth a look. Rebuilding the HVAC on Eagle, Freeze and namtaB would also help. But that is a pipe dream. -

I have no patience for the anti-mask movement. Current numbers show a 75% reduction in transmission (newest WHO data suggests that might even be 85%) if everyone wears them. If you want to do stuff before there's effective prophylaxis and/or a confirmed treatment then that's going to be the price we pay to prevent healthcare system breakdowns (and the associated deaths of course). Some states have tried maskless reopening already and they're seeing spikes in new cases. The choice is masks or stay at home orders. Anyways hopefully Six Flags is paying attention to Universal Studios. They've set up rest areas that are large open spaces where they're allowing some mask off time. You can definitely get sweaty under them so that's welcome. -

Yes but that only kicks in when you cancel. -

There is a pause option. I used it because the free upgrade to Elite, for me, just isn't all that appealing. -

A couple months ago we had to draw the comparison that our grandfathers had to fight a war to save our neighbors, we were asked to stay at home and that is it. And now if you want to get out of the house and do things again that doesn't change that we need keep protecting our neighbors. The price for that is a mask. That is it. -

Maybe not corporate has cancelled millions in capital expenditures this season. -

I'd suggest not doing that for a plethora of reasons that have nothing to do with coronavirus -

That's not a solution. The way that works is you cancel your membership and the cards keep working for x number of days. They should really put the memberships into a maintenance mode where they cost like $2/mo apiece. -

If I had to guess I'd probably say if we have any entertainment only Miss Kitty's would come back. The cast seems to mostly return every season so there is familiarity with the show though that isn't guaranteed. Then of course you have to wonder when the water park opens since this could eat in to the preparation times for that. -

Indeed. April 4th is the new opening day. All Six Flags parks have been closed until April. -

I thought that was specifically that model of coaster that warps around a large tower. Even short ones are still called polar coasters. -

I wonder if this is something the new CEO is pushing or open to or if this something that was already in motion. Also I wonder what you'd call a 600ft+ coaster? I'm not even sure 500+ is defined yet. -

It's great to see some localized advertising since usually you just see the cookie cutter national format stuff. -

A Rotor gets me way worse than Xcalibur. The Endeavor gets me less dizzy than Enterprises do and I'm not sure why. -

GR will be in a new building to the far left side of the plaza. I wouldn't get my hopes up for that, but you never know. The TLC I was referring to is some shops/restaurants getting overhauled. Not that it matters but I'm guessing Colonnades is one. I had noticed the ceiling peeling. There was some patch work that I could see I imagine the park wants to clean that up. -

Where is guest relations moving? The old spot is now for tickets and memberships, and the old ticket booths that are gone were the new location. -

Wow that's actually more than I expected. I half expected asphalt being layered over everything cause it is cheap. This actually looks like some design is going into it and there are new details being added.
