Screamscape, FWIW, is suggesting the log flume addition/refresh has been cancelled. Engineering costs seem to be the problem. Funds for the project are staying at the park according to rumors.

North America's first B&M family invert coming next year.

It's been leaked for awhile now. Some track is also on site and construction is moving along. This is the first word from the park, though. Sounds like a cool family ride.

You may want to take Bonine/Dramamine the night before and day of. Or some scopolamine. Might help with nausea and head aches. I used to ride all day without issue. Now I need medication if I'm riding more than a few things.

Thanks for the reminder on this. Keep forgetting to swing by there. Sucks they didn't warn you about the Fright Fest 2 hour no entry policy. I didn't realize they did until I saw a discussion about it this weekend. Otherwise, seems like you had pretty good day.

New 2 meal dining plan at SFoG also includes a snack like the old food plans. Other parks doing this as well? Nice little unadvertised bonus currently.

Below is how I do Saturday's at SFoG. Fun Spot opens at 10am. I'd probably still suggest SFoG first. FYI: It's about 30-40 min between the two parks. Could hit AF at 10am for a few rides and still get to SFoG by 1130, but that's rushing it and hoping AF1 is running at open. It's common for gates at SFoG to open a half hour before posted time. TC and Scorcher should also be running for that half hour before they open the rest of the park.

You no longer have to exit for the changeover to Scarowinds. They are using the new section as a holding area. https://www.carowinds.com/blog/2023/scarowinds-first-in-fright-faqs

Lightning Rod is closing on Oct 30th for a high speed chain lift to be installed. Top speed will remain the same. Also getting new trains. https://twitter.com/Dollywood

Six Flags pass sale starting to appear. New this year: all parks flash pass. Price isn't bad. Also 2 meals plan for $100.

Rumors are suggesting a roaming throng of Megans in Orlando. Seems last minute.

I research queue times for same weekend last couple years. And look at Fast Pass and ticket prices.

Show up. Park will most likely be dead.

I'm pretty sure you'll enter from screampunk area across from the Thunder River entrance. I don't think it'll be a DC themed name. Website/app lists it in Screampunk.

Name will be from the public. They are going to have a contest for it. Also, I verified with the park, riders do not get wet, only spectators. And they can run it without water in cold weather.

Intamin Surf now official.
