Multiple parks are running their teaser campaigns for 2025 right now. I wouldn't expect anything here big enough to tease, I guess is my point.

I’ve ridden it multiple times. As for merger effects the investor presentation stated that cost savings will be realized within 2 years and operations improvements should improve numbers within 3 years.

I think there’s three levels. The off-season parking level that is lowest when there’s zero water in the ride and they’ve locked it out. The operating position that it seems to be in right now (but there’s no water). And then loading. I could be wrong though and it’s just 2 levels. Either way it’s not in an operable state right now. As for the carousel the horses and carriages install quickly. So what we’ll want to watch for is the completion of the overhaul of the rest of the ride that we can see right now.

I think it’s pretty clear the ride hasn’t been repainted or rewrapped since it was installed.

I might be crazy but I don’t believe the current platform position is the same as it was this spring. IMO it looks like they attempted to open it and a part might have broken that they now need to wait for. I could definitely be wrong though.

Joker status update I found on the site formerly known as Twitter. Also a bonus. This doesn’t look like Jingle Mangle to me.

Considering how Sky Striker was running with riders (but not yet open due to the entrance area not being done) 6 weeks after going vertical end of July is definitely possible. If the construction around ours takes longer I could see the funhouse opening a bit later. There’s a funhouse bypass lane in the plans posted earlier on in here.

She’d have a point if there was some sort of evidence that the construction is being rushed and corners cut to get it done faster. Alas this is going up the same way the others have. The only question is if the same crew that did Sky Striker is also installing ours. If so they don’t often get to do two back to back so maybe they’re slightly more efficient on ours?

Looks like Joker should already be standing right now.

Considering the work was being done I can't see them throwing it away by just stopping the process and abandoning the project. But yeah it's definitely not there.

It's actually kind of cool the Joker parts are being driven through the park.

I missed these updates. The work continues. In the past they definitely would have just left the bad AC unit alone.

It depends on how the Fun House is designed. The building should be simple - a prefab steel structure. If they have the components that go inside somewhere pre-built then they can move those in and install them fairly quickly.

Forgot to show the state of Joker. -

Honestly glad they noticed it. They did exactly what they said they should. The bigger issue was not making sure it was secured on the ride platform.

Not a mechanical problem BTW. A large stuff banana fell on the track in the station so the crew E-Stopped.

Got my first ride evac ever during a private event. IMG_2490.mov

Enclosed building? Also there was already a Cotton Candy Factory in that location so I assume they're just reopening that.

The park did an in-season BTS update. Great demo that the work doesn’t stop after the season begins. They’re re-surfacing midways.

Funny part of that old looper is it took Indiana Beach nearly 3 years to install a PORTABLE coaster.

Our footings are in.

Well. One of the Giga Discoveries is well on the way.

I really do hope park opening day ride openings become a thing post-merger. It's a really nice thing that Cedar Fair seems to aim for and Six Flags never really has.
