So the point of them putting those boneyard items up out in the open is ....?

Fair enough. If I make it up for HITP .... looking forward to marathoning Nitro in cold weather (I recall from past posts temperatures have been in the teens and Nitro still runs)

If Mind Eraser is on fire .... let us all dance a jig of glee and have plenty of alcohol to celebrate!

Do you think crowds will pick up any bit for Fright Fest and/or Holiday in the Park? I don't do Flash Pass for HITP; but I've done so for FF. With lower crowds this year, maybe FP isn't worth it (rides or mazes) for FF.

Sometimes I wonder if the future for Six Flags America is bleak. I mean I like Wild One, Superman: Ride of Steel, Joker's Jinx, Harley Quinn Crazy Spin .... but they have protentional, just .... there's a je ne sais quoi about it all? But hey, no Mind Eraser to torment people

Fair enough, never did the XD theater and I think the Playland Arcade is better anyway.

Just out of curiosity, which roller coaster at Hershey Park had the highest ridership numbers in 2021? I tried searching on my own but found nothing.

Quick question: The building next to the Bandshell that has the Old Time Photo/Roaring Creek Arcade/XD Theater was closed when I was there a couple weeks ago. Has it been closed all season?

Two possibilities here: 1. They're going to announced a full Titan Track conversion for Timber Wolf (I know it got reprofiled in 2018, how's it been running?) 2. They're going to do an RMC Iron Horse conversion of all the bathrooms!

Because if Kingda Ka doesn't have a full train before launch, the chances of it rolling back or stalling at the top are increased?

Has Lightning Rod been more reliable this year in terms of uptime? edit: I've been to busy with work to really pay attention here if anyone has said anything.

Do any of the other parks in the CF chain have such a chaperone policy? Edit: I know why they have it for Fridays & Saturdays (busiest days and such) .... but why JUST those two days of the week?

Holy Shucking Fit ..... I never thought I'd hear a story like this about GADv being that dead on a summer Saturday!

Higher gas prices for those that have have to travel from far off (like me for instance). And I agree 100% with what you said about the passes/dining plans and price increases.

Ah, Stricker's Grove is the Diamond trophy among coaster enthusiasts

What's the most times in a row any of you have ridden Phoenix?

I am, I'm waiting for fresh lugnuts from them!

So what do you think King's Dominion will receive (if anything) from California's Great America when it closes?

Wild One at Six Flags America last Tuesday.

So I went yesterday and of course Batwing was closed most of the day. I'm not even going to bother with speculating on it's future because the park will keep it running until it done dies.

I'm guessing CGA wasn't a big maker for Cedar Fair. They'll probably send Grizzly to Michigan's Adventure as a middle finger Rail blazer may go to King's Dominion or Dorney Park, Patriot may go to .... Valleyfair, Flight Deck may go to Canada's Wonderland. Now what rides go where, or do they pull an Elitch Gardens and move somewhere else?

When I went back on April 12th, I noticed some retracking/fresh wood on Roar. Good progress, I'd prefer Titan Tracking and MF trains though. And I wonder how much longer Batwing stays around. It usually opens an hour later than the other rides, and maintenance dreads working on it. I know the second train was repurposed for a parts donor, but with no fresh parts being made for Flying Dutchmans anymore you got to wonder ...

Do you think that Hurler will eventually get some kind of conversion (be it Titan Tracking from GCI, or some kind of RMC conversion) or will it be scrapped entirely? And is it as rough as SFoG's GASM?

Without going into too much detail, I made a post that was political in nature (about the Russian invasion of Ukraine about a prominent media figure) and said post was flagged as inflammatory/threatening. As it was my third such infraction, I had a weeklong posting ban overall from FB as well as a month long ban from posting in groups and my posts would be moved lower in feed.

Actually saw opening day for SFA is March 19th
