Would've been Outlaw at Adventureland on Sunday. Surprisingly fun wooden coaster for its size, though it's definitely in need of some new track.

^^ As much as I hate to say it you may be right. A lot of rides were closing early when I went and a lot needs some TLC. ^ Wait... this isn't ACE. We aren't weirdos who think we can save a ride from closing.

So there's some fresh wood next to Eagle's brake run on the red side, and it gave me an idea. What if, for 2020, Great America gave Eagle a refurbishment similar to that of Revolution at SFMM? New name, new trains, and some fresh new wood and track.

^ I went in mid-July and it still was just track and supports. I didn't see any trains.

^ After the New Texas Giant fiasco, Six Flags hasn't worked with Gerstlauer ever since so I don't think we'll be seeing a Eurofighter.

Love it so far, Amsterdam looks amazing! Definitely will be following along with this one.

Maxx Force last weekend in the front. Great coaster, glad it came to my home park.

But Utah is. That's where S&S is located.

Hmm...

I definitely think that Kidzopolis will become a DC Super Friends kids area and they'll just add some family rides for 2020. If it was something as big as a large B&M, there would probably be more to it than just Facebook teasers at this point, like actual construction.

Yes, sounds like it should be a great ride! May have to get out there in 2020!

Underground - Adventureland. I'll be visiting the park for the first time in a few weeks!

Looks pretty great. I'm excited to check it out next year!

I envy you so much that this is your home park. I'd kill to live local to their coaster <3

^ A huge water ride like Pilgrim's Plunge was my thinking, in the same spot. I can't really see a new large-investment coaster like some people are saying, but you never know.

Does anyone else get something other than the Lagoon page when you click on this link? https://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/k_76_lagoon

Coaster at PNE yesterday, my 200th coaster!

Nice cliffhanger, nice trip report!

^^ I'll be at PNE Playland tomorrow! Coaster will be my #200 and I'm really excited!

Where is the Skycoaster which you operate? (meaning location)

Sidewinder at Elitch Gardens today. Got 5/6 credits, all except for the kiddie coaster which has a height restriction. Full trip report coming whenever I finish my reports for Florida and Branson.

EDIT - Posted too soon. Trip report coming within the next couple days (hopefully)

^ How long have the lines been? Up to 3-4 hours?

^ There's supposed to be, they said so sometime back in Spring. But there's no indication of it yet.

The ride was open tonight to passholders so I got to try it for the first time! Here are my "enthusiast" thoughts on Maxx Force... - The launch is AWESOME! Definitely what I expected! And soaring up into the first element is really cool. - The ride is VERY smooth, though maybe it's too smooth - After the first element, the ride was fast and smooth but not all that thrilling. I didn't feel any force in them and I was expecting to get thrown around a bit in the inversions but I didn't feel any whip at all. Though I didn't ride in the very front so that probably had something to do with it. - The ride may be short and it feels shorter than a ride like Goliath but it does feel a bit longer than the 20 seconds it is which is good. - The ride broke down twice through the 90 minute wait, and it was only open to passholders. Hopefully some of the bugs are found and fixed early on so the lines move quickly. - There were some guys from S&S there inspecting the ride and how it performed which was totally cool! I had a bit of a nerd moment. Overall, the ride is going to be a huge hit with the public. They'll line up for hours to give the record-breaking launch a try and that's great! As an enthusiast I definitely liked it but I probably wouldn't wait longer than 90 minutes for it. However, do note that I both didn't ride in the front and this is only the second day it's ever operated with people so it still has some time to warm up and I can still re-ride it! Overall rating: 8/10, my #3 coaster in the park behind Goliath and Batman Some photos I took... Maxx Force REALLY adds to the park skyline! You can see it as far back as Raging Bull and Giant Drop on the interstate! Being at the front of the park, it also adds to the Hurricane Harbor backdrop with Viper and Raging Bull. My dad and I (thanks for taking me, dad!) were some of the later riders so we waited a total of 90 minutes with other passholders. The line will never be this short the rest of the season with the GP so I'm glad I rode it today! Everyone anxiously awaits the record-breaking launch... Overall I really liked the ride! It didn't blow me away, but it was fun and I came back smiling so I'd say Six Flags has a winner! Here's a panorama view from the queue. My favorite photo op from waiting was when Raging Bull hit the turnaround at the same time Maxx Force hit the first inversion. Sadly I never had my phone out when this happened but I saw it which was still cool! Here's the famous barrel roll that broke the record for the fastest inversion in the world! 60 mph the whole way through! Some joy, some fear, some hands up, some holding on for dear life... how will YOU ride Maxx Force? This inversion combo was my favorite part of the ride! Hitting it with all that speed was awesome, all the hangtime is awesome, and the views you get of the park are so unique! By the time it was our turn to ride, it was dark out which made the launch all the more fun. Overall I had a great time at the park tonight and I wish them the best with the public opening tomorrow!
