They have officially announced on media that Cheetah has been retired and will be removed to make room for the future. RIP

Conley - double check the weather. Going to be NICE this weekend.

Looks like they adjusted Quick Queue in the last week or two and it now includes Stingray without an upcharge or limits.

Didn't the rep say 57% at the event near the end of the year? So, that much.

From what I've read recently, you can get into the first part at 9:30 and get your FP, etc. Goliath should also be running before official park opening.

Your agent was high.

Great to hear. I'm also in the area this weekend with the same plans as Conley. SW on Sat til 4 or so then hit SFFT for the last hour or two and all day Sunday.

I liked seeing pics of the old train in the hotel parking lot with the screwed up lift hill piece laying next to it.

What you linked is for any passholder. As a platinum ph, you also get a free encounter from that list. I'll confirm this weekend and let you know.

If it hasn't been answered before end of next weekend, I'll let you know for sure how it works. I don't think anyone has pointed out that ZDTs can be a fun side trip for a few hours near SA. I think what you linked above is different. From what I've been able to figure out, you have to do this in park. When you visit, you can do one of the tours. Go to the pass center or the animal signup place and pick your time. I emailed the park and got this back. Hope it's true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for purchasing the Platinum Pass. How exciting! Yes, the tour does come with a complimentary animal tour, and can be selected from one of the following programs: Killer Whale Tour Dolphin Tour Penguin Tour Sea Lion Tour Beluga Tour Animal Ambassador Tour Stingray Tour Shark Tour

I rode with comfort collars for the first time a couple weeks ago. At 6'1" they didn't bother me. Seemed pointless to have them there but no problems. I can imagine shorter people would be annoyed by them.

I don't think anyone outside of Dollywood really knows when LR will be running again. I hope it's in March since they started last year.

Allegiant pretty much has a standing $20 off any flight in my Facebook. Book each way and each person on different tickets. Getting me to Houston for $9 each way. And they have no charge change fees now so cancelling and rescheduling is no big deal.

Texas can be cheap, too. Going to SFFT for $18 RT on Allegiant next weekend. I got to Florida for $40 RT in December for a fun weekend. I imagine I'll be back late summer and fall a couple times with new coasters and cheap flights.

If dogs can sniff it out, why are people waiting days for test results? Unless forced, parks aren't going to do anything more than they have, as Bill suggests. There has been no indication that parks contribute to the spread.

Pretty much every park not owned by Cedar Fair has already stopped doing this on coasters.

Nostalgia. And they're pretty fun.

Superman ran during HITP 2019. Pretty sure GASM did too. Blue Hawk did not. GASM is a good ride in need of work. Hopefully when they finish in a few years it's back to it's old glory.

I think the MM version has the station in a different spot. Otherwise, same. Looks like Jersey Devil will get topped off today. Nice!

3 days at Dollywood and 2 in the area? Oh my. Think I'd rather hit Carowinds or KI one of those days instead. If Lake Winnie is open, it can be a fun couple of hours on your way down to Atlanta.

Minderbender has been reassembled. Paint and testing are next.

2021 Season begins March 6th. Not sure if Mindbender will be open. Looks like pieces are back on site ready to be installed.

Not sure if I'll actually make it here this year, but I bought a pass anyway to help out Gene and Co. I'd really like to ride all their coasters.

Pro tip, set your barcode as your lock screen background when at the park. I do agree, though.
