And to think I nearly decided to change my park loyalty from Six Flags to Cedar Fair!

Well I'm looking forward to Harley Quinn Spinsanity opening this weekend!

Has Goliath always been a rough ride; even with the original Vekoma train?

I never thought I'd see the day where they have quick dispatches on Batwing! Wonder if they'll ever put the 2nd train for it back on the track (unless it's being used as a parts donor). As much as I've wondered if it'll ever be gone; I give the park credit for keeping it going!

The other thing about Bizarro is some riders clicking their seatbelt release latches while waiting on the break run.

Glad they're doing El Toro maintenance now rather than during peak summer season. As usual, Nitro dispatches are quick; when they use all 3 trains, that's .... how many riders per hour? Also, is the 3rd train for Bizarro only used during peak summer season?

Bert, I feel bad that you have a Pucking Frick for a governor.

1. Maybe they're waiting until spring/summer to put the second train on JJ's track. 2. I didn't see ME's second train in use at all last year. 3. Only once have I seen two train operations on Batwing 3a. Perhaps at this point the other train is being used as a parts donor?

I just checked out the Six Flags America thread here and noticed that Zoomazon Falls is the ride that is being cut (so far, the confirmed subtractions we have are this, Sky Buckets at SFOG, and La Ronde isn't bothering to construct Vipre this year, and the aforementioned Tower of Power at SFSTL). This one took me as a bit of a surprise: Zoomazon Falls seemed to get decent crowds in the water park. I would have thought Penguin's Blizzard River or Shipwreck Falls would have been axed.

Well I was there this past Sunday; temperatures were about 45 degrees which kept the crowds minimal. Everything (except for Ragin Cajun) was one train operations. Early in the season, I was surprised at how quick they was moving, though Superman: Ride of Steel did get stuck on the brake run a couple of times! (it's currently running the Red train, the blue one is on the transfer track). The Macho Nacho place does have the shrimp quesadillas/shrimp tacos, but oddly enough I was NOT able to use my dining pass on either of those; specifically I was told that those items weren't even on

As for SFA ride removals, I've always speculated that one of these three could be taken out: 1. Shipwreck Falls - well it seems to be a trend lately of these 'Shoot the Chutes' rides being taken out. That and said rides; while they don't take up large plots of land; do not operate early/late in the season because of colder weather. 2. Penguin's Blizzard River - same reasons as #1. And the water in PBR seems to smell really bad. 3. Batwing - lot of downtime. I remember in 2019, it barely operated at all.

I just regret spending years (late 90's-2016) not going to amusement parks in general

So I'll definitely be there opening weekend. Operating schedule is up, and obviously I know hours are subject to change.

Easy choice there .... taking out a ride that can't operate in colder weather and putting in a Raptor :)

I literally to do a double take to make sure what I saw was real ..... March 6-7 opening weekend! At the very least, Roar will be good in cold weather and I'll make sure to give Mind Eraser another #1 salute! And why has Cedar Fair dropped the ball on opening dates this year?
