Interesting discovery on reddit. RMC is again trying to sell a modified version of the T-Rex, this time called Split Rex. I don't fully understand the difference, but of note is a promotional image they released of a computer generated model. The coaster is surrounded by little, white, non-descript buildings in the model and someone pretty quickly figured out and demonstrated that these buildings are from Everland. RMC is also working with the park on their woodie. I will be making it to Korea at some point if a RMC Giga goes up next to an Intamni pre-fab, that is for sure. https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fnnljmgvmapsf1.png

Oh yeah, just typed them in the wrong order off the top of my head. No plans to spend two days at SFOT though. Shouldn't be a need.

Hopefully. The plan is SWSA --> SFFT --> SFOT --> Cota --> SFOT --> Frontier City --> SDC --> WOF --> SFSTL and then fly home back to way upstate NY. If CotaLand is not open, we will likely add some driving and use the freed up day to swing into Arkansas and visit Magic Springs.

B&M Dives are one of my least favorite commonly built models going, but damn, almost 300 foot down at 95 degrees? There is no way that drop isn't incredible. Good timing too. Making our first trip way down to Texas next summer. San Antonio will be the start of our annual roadtrip which will end with the Missouri parks.

Truly tragic, tragic news coming out of Epic Universe. A 30 something male rider died on Stardust. I guess he came back to the station unresponsive and bloody. Coroner says he died of multiple blunt impact traumas. I think the multiple rules out something flying off a passenger (which would also have to not be metal and well what the heck is that?). All I can envision is him passing out and just flopping around limp, smashing his head off whatever it came into contact with. Truly horrific. You have to imagine he probably wasn't riding alone either. Likely loved ones were with him. That's just my imagination running wild in horror though. You've gotta figure some sort of vest or OTSR is coming in response. It is the only thing that could prevent this and it just feels so unlikely in this world that we can just call something like this a freak one off.

You're right. When I open my 2026 pass and explore add ons it only offers me 2025 plans. Very odd. I have to navigate separately on the website to find the 2026 plans. I wasn't paying attention to the dates because why the heck would you add anything but 2026 plans to a 2026 pass? Anyway, gold and prestige meal plans are the same price and seem to have the same wording. Is there a difference I am missing?

It very clearly says it will only work at legacy Six Flags parks. We rarely touch water parks. If Cota isn't open, we will likely replace it with a lengthy detour to Magic Springs in Arkansas and adjust the park order accordingly.

When I went to add dining, it was insistent that the plan would only be good for legacy Six Flags parks so I didn't. If it was good for legacy Cedar Fair parks, I would definitely have added it on. We will have at least eight days in Six Flags parks next year (road trip: SFFT --> SWSA --> CotaLand --> SFOT --> SFFC --> SDC --> WOF --> SFSL & a separate trip of two days at CP), but four of them are legacy Cedar Fair.

We rode Goldstriker at the beginning of August. It was not a smooth coaster, but the roughness was not enough to detract from how much of a powerhouse it is. I don't think I am particularly tolerant or intolerant of roughness either.

Just to confirm what it looks like I am seeing online -- There is no park hopper style ticket that includes Epic Universe, right? For my birthday in late January, we are traveling down from NY for literally one day for Epic Universe. My son hasn't ridden Velocicoaster, however, and I would open to gate dropping Islands, running right to Velocicoaster, and then immediately leaving for Epic Universe. I was assuming there would be a multiple parks in one day type ticket to facilitate this, however, and it doesn't seem to be the case.

Now there are rumors starting to float around about Canyon Blaster's removal.

Anyone know what kind of lines AlpenFury is getting on weekends now and how the park is handling that line at the end of the night? Is the queue closing early or can people pour on in right up to park close? Thanks

We will be flying in and staying in a hotel close to the park for a few days at the very end of July. The only thing I haven't sorted out is transport. We will be going here, Discovery Kingdom, and the boardwalk. Is Uber/Lyft a viable plan or should I rent a car? Thanks in advance.

In the realm of "this has got to be a mistake, right", import records seem be showing three shipments heading to Great Escape from... B&M? Like, what? If this is somehow real, the park is either getting a new family invert, which would fit great and be a very pleasant surprise, or maybe a Steamin Demon replacement, I would guess. Could a mini-dive be crammed into that tiny plot on the roadside?
