"Bring the bulldozers in and turn this place into a parking lot!"

Yep. You are correct. Haven't officials said that a vaccine is still about 12-18 months away...? At least. I think its more likely to fade out first, but im no doctor or epidemiologist.

Ah, thanks! I figured it wasn't from today given that the media LOVES to use OLD images as "current" images. This might be a more accurate one then... Given none of the forbidden items are in shot. (From another news source.) Yeah thats today or last night, seen that pic in a few spots. On a related note, Myrtle Beach will be opening their beaches next week. Might be a good sign for Carowinds.

^ probably not today, they said umbrellas, coolers, chairs and towels are verboten

If youre going to wait for a vaccine youre going to lose next summer too. Cuomo did say today that he would have a different re-opening plan for upstate.

Shouldnt have quoted, didnt mean to direct it your way

My point in questioning his short time here was that he may have been banned previously. He's pretty combative and defensive for a new guy.

Youve been here less than a week.... allegedly

They already cut discretionary capital improvements. Check the SF Corporate thread.

Well, its a step in the right direction https://www.wkyc.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/gov-mike-dewine-ohio-looking-to-restart-economy-on-may-1/95-c933626b-da9e-4588-9dd4-50eec2cb9814

I live 3-4 hours away from CP so using the tickets and getting the gold pass isnt worth it. Only way itd be worth it would be for CP to credit me the single day tickets towards a gold pass. Then id basically be getting tickets for the following year for $54 (assuming they open this summer) I live 4 hours away and in Canada, I manage to go multiple times a season. Im in Buffalo so youre not far. Pick me up on your way lol. While youre at it cover my work shift, pay for my hotel and for my families food and drink. Oh, and watch my dogs!

You still can. It costs a little bit more now but even if you buy a pass today, they'll still honor it in 2021. True, but then id be out the cost of the 8 $37.50 single day tickets I bought

Now I really wish I got the Gold Pass.

Good thing for SFDL because its in Genesee County.

The water park is getting branded, I wouldve said maybe the rest next year. But with everything thats happened I think everything is up in the air.

Little different but OK

Drove by today and the parts to Wahoo Wave are sitting in the parking lot, so it looks like itll be going up this year at some point.

My home park doesnt even start daily operations until the last week of June, so its way too early to say the season is a wash already.

https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/202004/7379/ Six Flags Increases its Credit Line as It Looks to Cut Spending April 8, 2020, 5:18 PM · A week after adopting a so-called "poison pill" strategy to avoid a hostile takeover bid, Six Flags this week took additional steps to keep the amusement park company operating while its parks are closed. Six Flags has gotten its lenders to agree to add $131 million to its revolving credit facility, taking it up from from $350 million to $481 million. The company said in a press release that it has $23 million in cash on hand, but that with its credit facility, "the company expects to have ample cushion under its debt covenants until at least the fourth quarter of 2020, even if the parks were to remain closed through September." To cut costs, Six Flags said that it is deferring or eliminating at least $40-50 million of discretionary capital projects planned for 2020 and intends to eliminate at least $30-40 million of additional non-labor operating costs this year, including spending announced last year "to improve guest experiences." The company also has suspended all dividends and stock buybacks and suspended all spending on marketing and advertising. (FWIW, that's the one that hits me.) Six Flags previously announced a 25 percent cut in pay for all salaried employees, including executives, and a reduction to 30 hours a week for all full-time hourly employees. The company also has "eliminated nearly all of its seasonal labor costs," in other words, dismissed or not hired any seasonal employees. With all that, Six Flags estimates that it will be spending a net $30-$35 million per month while its parks are closed. "The company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its cash obligations until the opening of the 2021 operating season," it said in the press release. Six Flags' stock closed today at $14.29, which is up from its March 18 low close of $10.36 but still well below the mid-$40 range where the company was trading before its China deals went south, costing it millions in licensing revenue. Six Flags has announced that its parks will be closed until at least mid-May, though it hopes to reopen "as soon as possible thereafter." The company is giving its members a free one-level Membership upgrade for the remainder of 2020 as well as extending season passes by the number of days that the parks are closed.

Disney cancelled their summer internships

I beg to differ on this point. When I rode during its first season, Drachen Fire left me with a throbbing headache, an upset stomach, and a huge bruise on either shoulder. It was simply wretched. They re-profiled it, which helped some--but it was too little, too late. It looked pretty, but felt foul. Yes, Drachen Fire has its fans. As you've probably guessed, I'm not among them. I rode it in 1997 so not sure if thats after the reprofiling. I was 15 yrs old so able take a beating more than I am now. My friend and I rode it was and had zero desire to go back to it, and this was when they only had 4 coasters.

^ This ^ Unfortunately NY and other northeast cities wont see extended heat and humidity until mid-late May at the earliest.

^^ also no one knows what effect summer heat and humidity will have on it. Corona viruses typically die out or become less contagious in heat and humidity.
