Who doesn’t love an underdog story?

My family are also legacy Diamond Elite VIPs… there have been many visits where our family have spent an entire day in the park without spending a dime (outside of the monthly cost). I reached out to Guest Relations a couple weeks ago to ask about how our passes fit into the new structure and was told: “To our knowledge, your benefits are not changing. Memberships that were grandfathered once the products changed were locked into what they were offering at the time the change took place. When and if changes do occur, you will be notified.” With the way the response was phrased, I’m expecting to get that notification sometime before mid-March… and we will most likely drop our passes the day after. Trying to stay positive, but it’s tough to do.

Media Day is next Wednesday morning, May 25th. ACE is looking for six members to ride and be interviewed. Not my cup of tea, but if you want to be one of the first to ride, join ACE!

Yes… the fire was at SFoT. The photo is of some new extremely large scrapes in the siding outside of the door where they use a crane to reload trains after valleying. They were only on one train ops today, with no sign I saw of the left train. Was one damaged?

At the park today… I think I figured out why Freeze was closed for so long .

That was just completed this past season. At one point, we were going to get a vintage Batmobile (from Atlanta, if I remember right) to go on the bat-logo concrete pad, but I haven’t seen it yet.

One post mentioned an extra bunny hill near the end, but that would be a big bunny to add 300 feet! I’ve only ridden one single rail (WW at SFFT). They are a lot of fun, but apparently they have a high maintenance cost.

Another morning, another Six Flags coaster in another park. If SFMM doesn’t work out, I know a park with some available land that this could fit in… I guess I keep hoping RMC will have a “Buy One Get One Free” sale. https://www.valdostadailytimes.com/news/business/six-flags-magic-mountain-announces-record-20th-coaster-wonder-woman-flight-of-courage/article_03465bb0-350e-50b7-ac2b-fafe0bffd3db.html

That little mosaic looked amazing back in the day… surely it can’t take THAT much dye to bring back the full red white and blue! Happy to hear about the return of the lower entrance!!

One HUGE advantage with the membership/dining pass combo is that your membership discount applies to the dining pass! We still don’t get the top level dining pass, since we don’t visit other parks enough to make it worth it, but at as much as 50% off, it makes a single park dining pass a great bargain! And the sports bottle comes with the membership, so done and done!

I made a Photoshop image of this… kind of a mule-go-round crossed with SkyScreamer… I don’t know if I still have it, though…

I had been holding out hope for the Screaming Eagle graphic to be returned to the lift hill... still, it’s very exciting to see all the new upgrades throughout the park!

There’s only one thing I can think of that would fit this... does it involve a logo?
