New paint job and then as a nod to the olden days, let's throw those running lights back up! That was SO cool to see at dusk/night. Especially in the back of the woods as you go through the trees with those lights accompanying. Those were the days..... They just need to announce a closure for a complete restoration of Screamin Eagle. It would make for one hell of a 2030 season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkjunkie Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Eagle is far one of my most favorite coasters EVER. I was still working at the park for her 40th. I cant remember if it was that season or a few prior where she got the most love since she was built... new paint, a bunch of new lumber and new chaser lights. Needless to say the lights lasted about half a season and since then, she has been neglected. Now I know with older classic woodies, the attention they need is nonstop, and we all know Six Flags isn't the type of park/ chain to continually keep her topnotch. But it WOULD be amazing to see her get the biggest overhaul since her debut for her 50th. I miss the old que, the massive sign on the mid hill, and the rock logo. All just memories 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydra66 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'm working on making a 3D printable model of a Bussink Giant Evolution ride, Would anyone happen to have any good photos of Xcalibur or other info that might be helpful for recreating the ride?

SixFlagsOMA80 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Looks like Six Flags is discontinuing Diamond Elite passes and upgrading them to Diamond elite VIP along with a price increase. I assume that will hit our park at some point. Looks like it already happened at a handful of parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherkim Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Despite what some on here might think or be sarcastic about; the updates on FB are very well received by the populace and as I've said before are only a win/win situation. If you think they are boring and/or not important, that's totally fine and I would recommend you not waste your time viewing or commenting on them. Spending a lot of time publicly and vociferously denouncing things really just says that it is actually important to you, or that you sadly crave attention in weird ways, or both, or whatever. For those that enjoy the updates, which seems to be the vast majority, they are good PR which only boosts the popularity of the park thus making it likely to increase interest/attendance which is beneficial for everyone in the end. Providing as much information as possible is usually not a bad thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are into the first full year of the merger I keep thinking they will come up with one pass to rule them all but I may be fruitlessly speculating; and I'm not necessarily wishing them to go away because the price we are locked in at for what we get is really a very good value, just a bit surprised they have lasted this long.

Danrarbc Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The thing about the memberships is they used to be the same price or even lower than the passes in total cost annually. Now you HAVE to pay the $20 initiation fee which makes the first year of Gold $22 higher than the pass, and every year after is still $2 higher. And you still have to pay the All Park Passport all at once. I don’t think the membership is what it once was. The Prestige membership is $6 lower annually than the pass, outside of that $20 initiation fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I tightened my lug nuts today preparing for the 2025 season. What are you guys doing to prepare? No pictures. Sorry. Do you think we'll get a new chef with the kitchen equipment? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Covid occurred, I was given a free upgrade to VIP at that time with no increase in monthly payment. Since then, I have had two small increases. Not a big deal though. As it stands, I can use my membership at all legacy SF parks and waterparks, but not legacy CF parks. It will be interesting to see how long we will be allowed to keep these memberships. The 50% off merchandise is a great deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prestige membership is $6 lower annually than the pass, outside of that $20 initiation fee. I haven't checked prices in a while because I have no reason too, but we are grandfathered in at $24 a month which gets us entry, preferred parking, 2 meals, a snack, unlimited drinks, one bff a year, the various merch discounts and 4 skip the lines a visit at every legacy SF park. Not sure how that compares but for us at the moment it's a pretty good deal. This year we did get the add on for the legacy CF parks, although that only gets us entry and regular parking, no food, but it was only $100. On the other hand if there has been any update to that I have to check the app or website for benefits to find out because I cannot for the life of me successfully get them to change my email from the now defunct one that I used when I first purchased the memberships so I never get any sort of update emails anymore. That is despite about a million attempts to do it myself online, several phone calls where they assured me it was taken care of and at least one in person visit to pass services where they also assured me it was taken care of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 With all of the exciting developments around Six Flags parks, I can't wait to see what comes our way! Hopefully more kitchen equipment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 And just like that my last post is partially invalid, lol. I actually received this update, maybe the email issue is finally fixed (I probably shouldn't talk about it out loud and jinx it) Anyway I'm not sure anyone cares about the rewards program being paused, it really didn't get you much. I maybe used rewards once for a discount on a t-shirt. Interesting that they are throwing everyone an extra bff, but the important part of this is that they are clearly implying that some new passes/memberships to cover all the parks will be announced this season, which I think most of us were anticipating. Dear Passholders and Members, We’ve heard your feedback and are excited to share that Six Flags Passholder Rewards is evolving to create a better, easier, and more rewarding loyalty program for you. We look forward to sharing a glimpse at what the future of loyalty looks like across the legacy Cedar Fair and Six Flags portfolio soon. In the meantime, Six Flags Monthly Rewards will be paused effective March 1, 2025. Any existing Passholder Rewards with remaining validity will be honored until their listed expiration date in your mobile app. 2025 Season Passholders with a purchase date up to February 17, 2025, will receive one complimentary Bring-A-Friend ticket. 2025 Memberships purchased up to February 17, 2025, will receive two complimentary Bring-A-Friend tickets.* We look forward to seeing you during the 2025 season for thrills and family fun, including a lineup of new entertainment offerings.

prozach626 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Screamscape reported that a toilet has been removed in one of the bathrooms. Someone spotted an American Standard box in the storage lot, but there are no pictures yet. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
