I'll be there Sunday. Was already planning on it before this hullabaloo came up. I much preferred TTD over Kingda Ka but with that gone, the prospect that we may not have any hydraulic launched stratas left after Sunday is pretty sad.
This whole situation is just so bizarre though.
You're forgetting Xcelerator & Storm Runner. I prefer them both over Ka.

^ I'll miss Zu, but not Ka so much.
-
^ Ghostrider closed all day today too 10/1. Lot's of rides on Xcelerator to make up for that...

TT2 is now the new coaster for 2025 at Cedar Point. The park announced this today. Tony Clark was right with his statement "this is not an all summer thing." It's an all year thing. They need to rename the ride 6 Day Dragster - SDD,

That's an... interesting layout. Looks like a lot of fun, though. Glad something will finally fill Volcano's absence.
Agreed, but I still miss Volcano

I do love Hershey Park. I'm also disappointed that they installed a camera on Comet. More importantly, there are new trim brakes to slow down for the picture. This ruins the entire pacing of the ride after that! I've ridden it the past 2 days and it's definitely ruined the ride. That's so sad...
-
^ Lets all hope they do a better job on Monte.
-
^ Thanks for the update. Let's hope for some activity on Monte. I miss that ride! This whole thing has just been such a disaster. Another bad C.F. decision, just like Dragster at Cedar Point.

Upper level Six Flags management is all gone now. All that is left is the Cedar Fair people.
Time to get rid of Bassoul the fool. Then it's complete.

I've been at Kings Island for the past several days. Just a great total experience as expected!
One thing I had to share, today was at the Trailblazer X-Treme show. Just a well preformed show and highly recommend it. During the show one of the songs they played is the Mr. Six / Venga Boys "We like to party" song. I was waiting for Mr. Six to pop out. You know he's coming back soon for the fright fest events. See the combination of these 2 corporations has started already...

I had to edit my response to this. I just read the press release and it's happening July 1, and the combined company will be official July 2. That's next week. I'm amazed it's going to happen...

Good review. Dorney is one of my favorite parks to visit. I'll be there for several days next week. Yes that's not a typo - several days. I'm a little worried about Iron Menace after your comments. That's okay, I love so many of their other rides. Steel Force is one of my favs. I can't wait to ride Thunderhawk again. Yes, it was a one & done last year.
-
Sorry video wouldn't post.
-
Something must’ve happened for them to do this. I just wonder what?
-
^ Thanks for your opinion. I appreciate your response. That locker situation concerns me. How can they design this ride, and last minute make this locker change? It's all Zamperla's fault -- right!!!
-
^ I'll be there in a few weeks. I'm a little concerned that I've read it's rough in the last row. That's normally my go to row for most coasters. Did you experience that? Also this "locker thing" seems to be a mess. It seems like Steel Vengeance all over again from year one. What are your thoughts on this? I too have low expectations.
-
^ They start operations this weekend. Have fun...
-
^ Media day was last Thursday. I thought possibly someone may have gone.
It's also open this upcoming weekend for passholder preview.
-
For those that have ridden TT2, do you think there will be enough lockers? The queue line will be huge and I worried people will be waiting for an open locker before they get in line to ride. I worried that there will be a huge line waiting for open lockers...
-
Now there will be PAY LOCKERS ONLY at TT2.
Here is the latest post from the park.. Safety is their excuse. Right. This will make a mess. The long lines will start to get into the lockers now.
LOCKERS
Working with the manufacturer’s recommendations, Top Thrill 2’s rider safety guidelines were revised after initial testing, resulting in our strict policy of loose articles not being permitted past the ride’s entrance.
Due to the later revision, the integration of lockers into the queue, similar to those at Steel Vengeance, was not possible. We encourage riders to leave any loose articles with a non-rider. If you wish to rent a locker, they will be near the entrance for a nominal fee.
These policies are in place for the safety of our Guests and Associates – and safety is our first priority. Thank you for adhering to these rider safety guidelines to ensure a safe and FUN ride.
We look forward to seeing you on Top Thrill 2 this summer!

^ When I was there a year or so ago, Prowler was great! It only had 1 "pot hole" and I was prepared for it. I too rode it many times.

^ My mistake, you are correct. I was speaking of the FTC. The lady in charge is Lena Kahn. Sorry I got my letters confused...

I have to respectfully disagree. I really don't think the DOJ will take a merger between theme parks all the seriously and I don't think they will give it the same consideration as say merging airlines, or tech companies, or media companies. In other words they are not likely to consider the theme park industry as essential use. Also, SF/CF would have likely gotten some behind the scenes assurances that it's going to go through or they wouldn't be publicly touting it will be a done deal by summer. I could of course be totally wrong, we shall see; but I will be surprised if it is blocked.
We'll see as you said. The lady that runs the DOJ is power crazy! She stopped the Microsoft / Activision merger. Microsoft had enough money to fight it in court and won. I honestly don't see a conflict myself. I'm really not sure how I feels about this merger. I think it will save me money possibly. I pay for: CF prestige and SF Diamond membership. I guess we'll find out in a few months.

Looks like the SF shareholders have approved the merger overwhelmingly. Just has to pass the DOJ review, which I think will be quick. I'm fascinated/terrified/hopeful how all this works out.
I don't think the DOJ will be an easy hurdle to overcome. I've said this from the beginning. It's not that the parks will compete, it's just DOJ doesn't like mergers period. We shall soon see. Cedar Fair is still saying this will be complete by the end of June.

A friend of my just texted me because he heard on the local news that Kingda Ka is shutting down. You know how reliable local news sources are. I do think it's a done deal myself
