sfkk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hopefully because of all we’re currently going through, people will realize that being offended and outraged over things that literally do not matter is a complete waste of time. Amen. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Who's offended? A guy said a dumb thing. We all said the thing he said was dumb. That's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfkk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 ^ That's fine, call me dumb all you want. These things do happen though and they do affect the industry. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2010/10/08/advocates-criticize-cedar-point-haunted-house I have consistently tried to offer insightful and relevant commentary (Including single-handedly calling the closing of Indiana Beach long before anyone else did and being disbelieved for it) There are stupid people in the world and this is exactly the type of thing that would offend them. A roller-coaster themed to a virus-induced post apocalyptic escape is not going to be a good look at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I never said anyone was offended. I was implying that maybe current circumstances may enlighten people in the future that getting offended by dumb crap (i.e. the “theme” of a roller coaster) is a waste of time and there are much more important things that they could spend their time and energy on.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 ^ Ah, gotcha. It's great that people treat each other more considerately right now. I'm definitely enjoying that while it lasts, because 100% chance people go right back to being d*cks to each other as soon as this is over.

Nrthwnd Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 ^ And they'll probably cut that "distance thing" to....one metre apart. I remember when we used to (literally) pile up on each other in the liquor store! They've since changed that to a single, snaking queue. But still. This could prove a plus.

sfkk Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I will say I have had faith in the progress of humanity through Black Friday. You don’t see people physically fighting over TV’s and Game Consoles quite as much as you used to, at least by my own empirical evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelwee Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Disappointing, but not surprising given Pres. Trump’s announcement yesterday and the way things have been going. Hopefully these parks will be able to re-open by Memorial Day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I think we all saw this coming. Disappointing, but not surprising. I am glad to see they are providing a few extra perks for members. I can't wait to visit the park again this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Quick question about drinking alcohol in the park. I only know of two designated places to buy and drink alcohol and that’s the full throttle bar and the beer garden by justice league. Are these the only two places you can drink in the park?? If so, where could you drink before as both of these were built in the last 7 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Clubs (between Riddler and Tidal Wave) and Food Etc (next to Goliath) both sell beer and Lime-A-Ritas. There is also a new beer stand next to Johnny Rocket’s, with an adjoining beer jail with tables and chairs.

Before then, there was no alcohol in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the park's oldest buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I like Viper for some reason. It seems to have a cult-like following among some enthusiasts all of a sudden which I don't entirely get but it's a good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 That must be it. Personally I think this ride is "kind of good" and Vortex was a giant trash-pile. It's almost an insult to this perfectly okay coaster to compare it to Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I actually like Viper more than Scream since the ride has more character, but in the long run, you'll find me on Twisted Colossus, X2, or Tatsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I thought Vortex was "kind of good", but maybe that's because I read Bill's review of it beforehand and knew to brace for the "wild mouse" turn into the mid-course brake run. It wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't terrible either. The first drop was great, but I found the rest of the first half pretty lackluster. The second half provided some decent hangtime. Viper does basically everything Vortex did, but without the sharp turn and with more intensity through the first half - especially on crowded days, when it runs full trains. It's a fun ride, and the park does a great job of maintaining it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoda Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/10/six-flags-sued-monthly-charges-during-covid-19-pandemic/ Suing six flags? My personal opinion on this is that you are not a true rollercoaster enthusiast and greedy. You can cancel anytime you want. But if you cancel, i do not believe you deserve any of the benefits. I love that I am getting free extra months on top of this and free upgrade to Platinum for only $9.95 a month. I will gladly continue paying my monthly fees. What are people complaining about? Am I missing something. So I guess if you are mad that Sixflags (who does not have Disney money) is still charging you, well have fun riding no rollercoasters in the future because Sixflags will be going bankrupt.
