No park is exempt from technical/design issues, but lets not kid ourselves...upkeep is not something SFMM is known for.

^To be fair, until SFMM can prove otherwise...why shouldn't he state the obvious?

I too find it hard to believe that Monte will be leaving anytime soon, but you can never say never. At some point the cost of operating it vs. the benefit of operating it is going to diminish to the point it makes business sense to replace it.

Parts for the slides are on site.

^^^Actually, using chains for queue is CLASSY by SFMM standards. That means someone took time to cut the chains to the right sizes and properly install them. Has a much cleaner look than rope...

I'm getting that glitch now.

Drunk me (from drinking around the world) once responded to a random guest who told us to be quiet, "it's ok, this is the boring part!" during that segment

No, but they had the water running for the media event today...so I can't imagine it will be too much longer.

The playground and Silly Swirly are open. The water play area is not open yet/

The dirt is the former mummy tunnel, which will be the home of Fast & Furious 2.0

^T^his one is a licensing deal, so IF it actually gets built...Six Flags will be cashing a check from that development company.

It hasn't been removed. It's just closed.

I don't even know what to say except…HOLY CRAP! So glad to see Wooden Coasters taken into the next generation. I also hope this means more Intamin pre-fab woodie sales, as competition from RMC hopefully lights a fire under Intamin...

No details were given outside of the fact that two 500 room hotels will be built. No location or timeframes given. Also…the whole Orlando vs. California debate is insanely pointless. There's such a small percentage of guests that have actually been to both USH and USF/IoA, it's a moot point from a business point of view.

I would imagine that this is just an addition to their existing winter holiday season.

I just hope they'll have the Florida prices for Duff Beer ($6.75) here! But maybe it's better if they don't…for my livers sake.

^That's politics in general. Not limited to just California (though California does have plenty of terrible laws…). Politicians will do anything for money and publicity. I'm sure no one outside of Santa Monica even knew who this guy was until he authored this bill. This was nothing more than an attention and money grab for the guy. Glad it didn't get anywhere.

The franchise was dead after Tokyo Drift until the latest series of movies brought it to life.

When in doubt, buy the premium option. It's really the only way to ensure you can experience all the open attractions at any park.

Reading between the lines of this survey, to me it sounds like Six Flags is struggling to find people willing to work for minimum wage with no benefits, so they are looking to lower their grooming standards to offset this...

That's definitely a better "viral" video than the sneaking into Transformers video.

^I agree. The nanoblock Jaws is proudly displayed on my desk at work!

It's too bad the coaster and Belmont Shore have been in a constant state of flux for the last 20 years. Owners keep going bankrupt.

^^The assemblymen is just looking for attention and/or donations. There's no chance this bill goes anywhere.

While I agree the Deluxe guests should have nicer perks, I'm not totally convinced having another couple of FP+ reservations is enough perceived value to be worth it. Especially when the discrepancy would be on full display to everyone who isn't a Deluxe guest. Seems to me that there'd be more negative perceived value than positive. Probably also why you've never seen special viewing areas for different tiers of Resort guests at parades, shows, and such. It's also tough to make this a perk now that Disney starts allowing additional FP+ times beyond the first three once the first three have been used. Something like giving complementary Park Hopper and Water Park upgrades to admissions would be a smarter, easier "perk" to include if they wanted to go that route I would think. Once the FP+ system is completely rolled out and people are used to it as the norm, having the ability to have more than those 3 initial reservations will have HUGE value IMO. I don't think people who are paying for a deluxe would be like "OMG, we can't book this because people might think we are snooty and rich for getting nicer perks than them!" Disney would be leaving tons of money on the table if having a premium option wasn't built into their design of MyMagic+
