  1. I've been waiting to contribute to this thread, because I ~love~ a good burger, but for whatever reason I have not had a burger in awhile. Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted a good burger. I went to Red Robin and the Cheesy Bacon Fondue Burger caught my eye, but they were out of the fondue So I just settled on the royal red robin, I love eggs and bacon on burgers. Also forgot to take a picture so.... maybe next post I'll do it right!
  2. I'm excited for this one. The pacing looks amazing and (to me) gives it a different look than the other dives
  3. I have driven past WoF many times, but I have never been able to visit because I always visit KC for Thanksgiving-Easter. I would think a wooden coaster, an invert and B&M are out. Whatever they get, I really hope it is a hit with the common guest. Something they ride, go home and tell their friends and family how it was awesome, more people visit, repeat. Can't afford to gamble too much for a first coaster in over 10 years
  4. I wonder if this is staffing or if it is another decision new management is making
  5. Thanks for all the information! I didn’t even know about the lantern tour, I’ll keep that in mind.
  6. I'm looking into a trip to visit the park on Friday April 8th and am getting ahead of myself for planning. There are no prices for 2022 tickets besides season passes. Does anyone have an idea how much a ticket might run that day? Will Mystic River Falls be running, weather wise? I'd love to do the Marvel Cave tour. I see it takes about an hour. Does anyone have any advice for doing this while sacrificing the least amount of park time? For example, do any tours start before park opening? Is it smart to start the day in the park, then do the cave in the middle of the day when lines pick up (I wouldn't expect lines on this day though, right?), and then go back in the park?
  7. According to a tweet, park president Hank Salemi has passed away. RIP. I’ve talked to him shortly when I saw him walking around a couple times, and he wrote back to me when I wrote a letter to the park when I was younger. A great guy and will be missed
  8. Bert said in the SFStL thread that Ron was "shown the door". I wanted to reply but thought I would do it here instead of flooding SFStL Thread From Screamscape: "From the sound of things, the new CEO seems to be ready to give the power back to the Park Presidents and empower the parks once again, who best know their own demographics, to help guide and lead their own future development." Contingent that the statement is true, wasn't Ron a park president you would want to give power to? I do not know Ron or know much about it but from the sounds of things he was either an A or S tier park president. It sounds like Ron knew SFOT demographics best. It sounds like Ron has already been pouring his heart and soul into guiding and leading the park for future development. Six Flags didn't want to give the "power" to this guy? They want to give it to someone who was either below Ron, someone completely new to being a park president, or someone from a different park? If the replacement is from outside SFOT, how is that going to be a person who best knows SFOT's demographics? Makes me think there was something more behind this move, but I don't think its appropriate to speculate. But I can't see how this is a good move, and I can't see how giving power to someone brand new turns out better than giving it to Ron.
  9. ^ that's not even in question. Yes. I've seen people willing to wait and see how it goes, but I have not seen any praise for any decision since Cliffhanger was announced (which was a decision made some time ago)
  10. I hope the whole back area is up and ready to go for park opening, whether the new ride is open or not, I'd like to be able to experience the area revamp! Agree with holding out for a little. I haven't liked what I've seen/heard so far, but we have not been able to see how his takeover reflected into the park operations yet. In my eyes six flags has been below cedar fair for years and that is not going to change without, well, change. Interesting the schedule is out, I did not know until you brought it up. I don't think it has been announced by the park, has it? Seems earlier than normal for six flags to have a seasonal park schedule out. According to this schedule, no Fridays in he spring
  11. Atlanta probably won't pose problems for construction, but I can't imagine this will open in spring. Late start plus I'm sure construction near the mini-golf course and arcade building will be a little difficult
  12. I'm looking forward to trying to visit twice before I graduate. Once I graduate and move back home, SFStL will no longer be a home park for me. Sure, SFStL does not have the best ride collection, but I love the layout and setting, and I've had fun visiting the last 3.5 years, especially the last 1.5. I'm most looking forward to riding Mr. Freeze, because I have been on it twice throughout my seven days spent at the park. I've also only been on Pandemonium twice and Xcalibur once, so at least one last ride on all 3 would really be nice
  13. Without any trims, even the rest of the ride after the loops looks super fun and forceful. I'm sure its still fun if IB restores the trims
  14. Happy New Year everyone! December was alright for me. Weight didn't change, 245.2lbs today, which is fine considering I enjoyed myself for the holidays. Still closed all my rings each day! Per day in December I averaged 1,187 active calories, 65 exercise mins and 10,011 steps. I'm super excited to give it my all this year, especially the first 3 months. Hopefully I hold true to that!
  15. Very exciting stuff! Love the tunnel for the drop (at least that is what it looks like to me) and looks like a Shambhala-esk turnaround on the far end. Supports going through buildings?? Can't really read any of the labels
