I'm a bit partial toward Knoebels. While the wristband prices have gone up to match the price for most parks around the country, just about everything else in that park is affordable from the food to the souvenirs. Holiday World comes pretty close with their free sunscreen and free soda...

Train is parked in the station. Hopefully the ride will test soon. Painting is being done on the ride entrance. There's a bit of landscaping work that needs to be done so it looks like any sign of opening is at least a month away.

363 - Rapterra - I attempted to brave the multi-hour wait on passholder preview but I had to tap out early. My back was killing me and the line moved at such a slow pace. My pass was upgraded to presitge when I bought the all park add on so it gave me a free Fast Lane so I used that instead...

Steel Curtain should be ready by opening day.

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of Wicker Man but the layout is really fun plus the theming really puts it above the rest. I love the preshow segment, the flaming statue and the dark sequence at the end. The layout has the quick pacing that Mystic and Thunderhead has but its much better...

Added 2 more GCIs to the lineup last year, including my new favorite GCI of all time. There are now 4 GCIs left in North America that I need to ride. 1. Wicker Man - Basically take Thunderhead/Mystic Timbers and add some amazing theming, a preshow, and tuck it into the mountains so you can't...

So I get most of my speculation from Paramount. Paramount invested pretty heavily into their parks in the 90s and early 00s but scaled back most of their additions. I can definitely see WB making a similar approach. For new parks, I can't really see them adding anything to the US or Europe but...

As with most alt history related stuff, its really hard to tell what WB would do with the Flags parks if they still owned them outright. So much time has passed and the amusement industry has changed a lot, dealt with a financial crisis, and a global pandemic. WB was all about bringing...

Volcano wasn't really that great of a coaster. Sure the gimmick was cool but that's all it was, a gimmick. It was never worth the long wait times it pulled and after the launch out of the volcano, the ride just meanders to the end. Yeah the 80 ft drop was neat but the ride hit the brakes...

In all honesty, I really like the new theme and the name change. The old name sounded pretty generic and the old logo looked pretty amateur so I'm glad they actually put more effort into making the logo a bit more professional. Maybe we'll get some decent theming to go with it. You could easily...

1. Expedition Everest - I think the theme and the ride length puts this over the top. Single rider line makes this so easy to ride on most days but I love the standby queue too. 2. Cosmic Rewind - This would be the best coaster on property if it wasn't for the reservation system 3. Big Thunder -...

It would be really nice if SWSD had an actual transit stop that would actually stay open at or after park close. Walking that half mile to the only open stop after the park is closed is a bitch.

RRR is actually a great ride! The airtime is some of the best in the state of Florida. I've always been a RRR fan and always try to ride it at least once per visit. Its definitely one of the most underrated coasters out there. I liked KK for what it was. Yeah it was rough and its not even the...

You can definitely feel the rattle on a lot of older B&Ms. That being said, it took years and years of operations to develop the rattle. The problem is you feel the rattle on most newer B&Ms. Why are Penguin Trek, Emperor, and Nemesis Reborn as rough as rides like Nitro, Kumba and Kraken...

I liked Nighthawk and will be sad to see it go, but the real loss here is Scream Weaver.
