Doubt you need FP at all.

Fury now open again. https://www.carowinds.com/blog/media-center/official-statement-fury-325

New boomerang coaster for next year. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/new-in-2024/snoopys-soap-box-racers Is this really half the length of Good Gravy or did HW just double the length for out and back?

Solid reason to believe the box at Over Georgia is pointing to an Intamin Ultra Surf. https://www.intamin.com/product/ultra-surf/ Specs match. Locations match intamin offices, etc. Looking very possible OG is getting this spinning launch coaster.

I think it's safe to assume there's a problem after they announced the ride and made a promo video for it's 2023 opening. And then there's the hype video a couple months ago when put one of the train cars on the track and talked about how it's opening soon. I'm hearing that getting someone to program it has been difficult/impossible. The current rumor among locals is: there is only 1 person in the world that can program these Schwarzkopf machines and he's been busy elsewhere.

2024 Passes on sale now at Cedar Point.

I think looking down while 350'+ up in the air will be kind of neat.

Looks like details leaked this morning on Zamperlas site. Since removed. Shouldn't be hard to find today. 420' spike. Switch track. Fastest, tallest triple launch coaster in the world.

Entry and preferred parking (if avail) at each park. You get discounts in the park on food and merch. QQ discount is a toss up and probably depends on the employee. BAF passes, monthly perks, free encounter, etc are home park only.

Fury is testing today with 2 trains. That's interesting.

No

How much are you looking to ride? Lines here generally aren't terrible during the week. This is especially true the first hour or two and the last couple of hours. Get there early and stay all day. Skip the TimeSaver. Probably still be able to ride everything multiple times.

Park has announced maintainance work will continue on WR through the weekend unfortunately.

Odds are it's just 2 of the basic flash pass skips. Same wording on that level and the sales page for this. No brainer if you visit somewhat regularly and have passes through the end of the year. Curious how much a full season will run you.

They were testing Fury around midnight last night. No idea how long they were running it.

For Gold with All Parks addon, parking should be included according to the website. Same for Knotts. No way I'd bet my life on that, though. From the websites: "What about the Platinum Pass? With the introduction of the All Park Passport, the Platinum Pass will no longer be offered in 2024. But don’t worry—you can still get the same benefits with the purchase of a 2024 Gold pass with the All Park Passport."

https://www.carowinds.com/blog/2023/introducing-the-all-park-passport Gold all season add on is $100 at CP and CW. It's $95 at Carowinds, KI.

Info was posted but has since been taken down. Platinum is going away. "All Park Passport" will now be an add-on for Gold ($100) and Prestige ($125).

Man, this thing might be open in a week. Impressive work happening there.

Whizzer is open today.

Probably because they don't pay enough to have full staff every day. Or think it's not necessary. Neither appears to be down for mechanical reasons.

I've heard rumors of an announcement in Oct. Convert remaining track and lift hill changes. I suspect they will have to start working on it around then.

Love the communication here and how open they are with what has to be done.

I believe they were inspecting a questionable looking support seen by guests. Appears the ride was opened again after inspection.

Some pics from last week show the crack starting. Seems a guest spotted this first and alerted the park. That is a bit crazy. This has the potential to be somewhat big. Wonder if any other hypers will be closed a bit for extra inspections this weekend. Wonder how many maint guys have an early call tomorrow to inspect supports. Lots of questions here that need to be resolved. Crazy it got this bad and seems to have completely severed.
