Can confirm it was open, I was in the park today.
However, I did notice that Riddler was down and a crane was over it. Could the rumor possibly be for that instead?
No that's down for normal maintenance.

Twisted Colossus is now open. It could not have been a broken lift chain. The moose was lying!

Just to let you know. Those planning to go to Magic Mountain and ride Twisted Colossus, you'll be disappointed. This is from some inside information. One of the lift chains snapped recently. I'm sure these are custom made, so it will be closed for sometime - sadly. Also there is a sign at the entrance saying it's closed.

^ You are correct Amy!

I was at KD today and it's still closed.

Thanks Amy, I'll check that out. I'll be there soon, so I'll post an update. Just wanted some advance info.

"Pantherian
This attraction will open summer 2025"
From the website. So no.
Thanks John. I did see the website posting from the park. I've been hearing it's getting close to opening. When I check it out on "ride times" all it says is open. For the other major parks I go to this site the times have been accurate. Normally if it's open, there would be a time. I was just looking for someone that has been there or a local...

Does anyone know if Pantherian is open yet?

Any official word on Alpen Fury's opening date??? I've got to hit this park this season...

I don't think anyone has mentioned Jeffrey Siebert is now GM(?) of the Texas region and over all the TX parks. Sounds great to me.
dup entry sorry.

^ This year I"m not even considering visiting the park. Just too much lost (never been a fan of KK either). Other parks in the area have more for me. I'd like to ride Flash, but it can wait. I'm a little worried you said El Toro was rough. I've read it was better, but maybe it didn't last long. Used to be my #1 woodie for many years. I'd love to marathon it. I don't even bother riding it anymore. I'm hoping for the best for the future of this park. I do miss "what it was."

Very unusual quick sell out. It normally takes days if not week for this to happen. It was only a few hours.
I haven't been in many years, but seriously considered it mostly because Siren's Curse. I'm still very pessimistic about TT2. I've never been on it.

Let's be honest: other than Ka, all the removed attractions were mediocre to crap at best. It's addition by subtraction. Sure, the PR of the thing sucks, but they're attractions that people don't like or care about.
I disagree. I will miss 2 rides - Zumanjaro and the Sky Ride. The sky ride was very long and relaxing when it was running. I love drop rides too.
-
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

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...
