716coaster420 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I actually am thinking with all the cuts six flags is announcing, I would not be surprised if we see these pieces go into that storage building SFDL recently put up. Ontop of that, we were recently touched on in the Six Flags Q4 earnings call as a point of interest, leading many to think 2021/22 would be great years for SFDL. If you read the futures section of the new revised plan now that Six Flags has obtained a credit facility to try and stay afloat, we are no longer looked at as a point of interest, but an "obligation" along with the rest of the purchased parks. Sorry for the long post....hope everyone is staying healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mary.pesik Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I hope this park gets branded soon. Come on, "Ride of Steel" just screams Superman. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I hope this park gets branded soon. Come on, "Ride of Steel" just screams Superman. I don't know. The water park is getting branded, I wouldve said maybe the rest next year. But with everything thats happened I think everything is up in the air.

716coaster420 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 At this point anything would be nice on the dry side, but as stated everything really appears to be up in the air. SFMM is already getting another coaster in 2021 with this supposed budget of Six Flags, and SFDL can barely put one rideable train together for ME. Vekoma vest restraints would be nice but quarantine got me talking long/dreaming again sorry!! Hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Campgrounds have now been closed in Erie County as of April 15th. I don't mean to be a downer but it's really not looking good for SFDL to open in May or anytime soon after that. COVID is simply hitting the area far too hard.

Good thing for SFDL because its in Genesee County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm well aware what county DL is in, however closures like these just aren't good signs for the summer at all. And if you think COVID and the COVID related closures are going to stay just in Erie county, that's about as big of a joke as this entire thread.

716coaster420 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I seem to be on my own with my opinion of SFDL, located in the glorious county of Genesee, however I do not see it or several major parks opening this summer. We are looking at it as enthusiasts....the big picture however would ultimately show parks won't be opening. Cedar Fairs new plan (yes I'm aware we are not cedar fair dont mske a post calling this out) with $75-100 mill cuts in the 2020/2021 season shows where the industry is headed.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Cedar Fair doesn't own Darien Lake. In all seriousness though, you're right. Six Flags will have to make cutbacks too, which will mean the planned 40th anniversary resurrection of 'Cuda Falls will be cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I would say major investments that are already constructed (mack power splash in texas), Jersey devil etc..will be the "2020 attractions" and alot of the other stuff will get delayed to 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

716coaster420 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I know. I know what's going on with the information that has been put out by six flags. I am stating the parks will in my opinion not be open this summer. Has Six Flags announced that yet? I didnt think so.

716coaster420 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If people are really making fake profiles on this, or any thread, that's just dumb? I guess I dont understand the point. Do you guys date each other on here? I was just here for roller coasters. That escalated quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 So yes.....yes indeed I have been here less than a week. However that's not going to make my opinion matter any less than yours...or anyones. That is what I am saying. This thread is so dramatic. It should just be about the park and roller coasters. Period. Not who knows this and who knows who and how long you have sat behind a computer or phone with a name on here. That's garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

716coaster420 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 ^^^ what he said above sums up how I feel about the thread lol. Since we are counting, 11th and final post. For the record your theory of me being banned somewhere is way in left field. Im just a coaster enthusiast that smokes pot/huge medical marijuana advocate as well but not for this thread Ha.

boldikus Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Its somehow not surprising that even during a global pandemic when basically no parks are even open this thread manages to maintain its status as a total dumpster fire. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
