Winterfest now includes a parade this year with 150+ performers and 8 floats. Nice.

Great Adventure has new season pass structures now on sale. Memberships now have a season pass version. Everything but basic passes are good at all parks. I would assume others will follow. Hopefully.

New season passes for sale now that include all SF parks. Can now get a different membership levels in a season pass. Prices aren't a compete rip off like previous membership pay in full prices.

I was also there on Saturday. Same general thoughts. We had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. I went over to Mako about 11:30. Posted at 45 min but was a walk on with empty rows. I did a few laps and we called it a night. Decent crowd size during the day. We showed up around noon to catch some shows and just wander around. Park seemed to be handling things like food better than in April.

Folks sat down on Millennium Force for the last train of the season. Restraints checked. Then released. Tech problems. Sorry everyone. See you next season. D'oh!

Did my first Howl O Scream yesterday. Had a good time. Weather kept people away. Park was dead til 7 or 8. Houses were good. Bayou and Cell Block were our favorites. Did those a few times. By 11:30 all the house lines but Witch in the Woods were 5 min or less. Cell Block at 11:45 had no line and we got to walk through basically by ourselves. While Falcon was down during the day, it miraculously was running all night. Had a great day. Rained for 10 min once and some very slight drizzle now and again. Otherwise, mid 70s and very comfy. Forgot to mention...the show 'Fiends' was great. Wife and I really liked it. Not for kids.

Finally made my first visit to this park for HHN yesterday. They were calling for tornados and rough storms all day. Never happened and park was fairly dead except for 9-12ish. Rained for 20 min at 3:00. Glad I took Bills advice and made the Bourne show with stay and scream entry. Bourne was incredible. Tech is amazing. Screen and projectors are amazing. No glitches. Wow. Had a fun night and did everything. Actually did 15 house walkthroughs since we had express and knocked out most without it first trip around the park. Saw the Fuel show. Good times.

Could just check Dollywoodwaittimes for previous Memorial Day waits.

"Another"....anyone else think the Glenwood project might now happen now?

Today Lightning Rod has a sign indicating down for routine maint. It's also been removed from the TV's showing the wait times.

Not the Beast. It's been down a decent amount of time this year and fireworks, etc. I think it's typically Banshee. So probably that or DB or Orion. They don't always publish the numbers. Sometimes they make a blog post about it.

Had not seen this yet. That's pretty wild. Thank goodness it seems no one was hurt.

Site plan was approved by the city a few weeks ago. Didn't have any more details on the coaster, but the land development was approved.

Correct. I added some prices above as well.

Yes. The 23rd is $119.99. Might be a able to save a few bucks on Groupon, Ticketsatwork, or Sam's.

2022 Season passes no longer include all Six Flags parks. Only the park where you purchase it.

Interesting. Parking included on Gold and Plat? Got any more info or a link?

Lightning Rod ERT is listed on the new ACE event flyer for Dollywood in Nov. Maybe that's a sign they hope to have it running again soon. Maybe not. Flyer didn't appear until this week.

Do FITH rumors suggest it's closing after this season or next? Grew up with SDC/Dollywood and have always wanted to ride the other one. Got close this year but had to cancel a trip last minute. Planning on next year for sure.

New closures posted. Manta 10/18 - 11/28 (New paint confirmed) Seal Lion Stadium 10/18 - 10/28 Kraken 11/29 - 1/3

Still seems to be missing side panels or something like that. And the headrests are a bit crazy. Strange looking wheel area. Front car with logo looks nice.

Mindbender is a shell of it's former self. Got on it Saturday and it's just as bad as I expected. Trains look horrible. The two trims are awful. Intensity has been dropped to near zero. The only thing good about the update is the new operator building in the station. I bet they appreciate that.

Wow. This may be their busiest day of the season or close. Best of luck out there. Try row 17 on the Beast, it's the best.

We were at Fiesta on Superbowl Sunday last year and the park was dead. I sat on Wonder Woman for a dozen laps at one point. Never waited more than a couple trains for anything it was so dead. The night before we waited an hour and fifteen min to ride WW just before the park closed. Did it roughly 20 laps on Sunday. Wife and I agree that we will be planning another trip somewhere on Superbowl Sunday. Feb is good at Fiesta. Seaworld was fairly dead on Saturday.
