I went to SW a few times this year. As a teacher, I get a free Fun Card (essentially, free admission). It's sad to hear the two aquariums will be demolished, but as they've been SBNO for years, it's not exactly a surprise. I do think the upcoming jellyfish exhibit is a step in the right...

I don't know if I'd read too much into that, other than, "Oops, we forgot to tell the map guy."

As memory serves, that's pretty accurate... although I don't believe they said "Please" in the "Please prepare for launch). SFMM did used to have a recording for Rev, but I haven't heard it played in years. And when I did most recently ride the Sky Cabin, the ride op (likely deliberately)...

It's super awkward that even as of yesterday, if you ride the Sky Cabin, the narration talks extensively about Montezooma's Revenge.

When I rode the Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers, I was shocked at how good an SLC could be. At the time, that SLC was as smooth as nearly any B&M. As opposed to nearly any other SLC in the world. Having the ocean view on the lift hill only adds to the experience

I'm not sure if anything will beat Flying Turns at Knobels for that title.

Wait, so is it open again? I thought I had heard that it had perhaps closed permanently.

Pity you never made it to Meow Wolf, it's quite the head trip. They also have an amazing bookstore called The Tattered Cover. But all those are fun parks to visit--though I have heard Lakeside is going pretty downhill in terms of ops. Pity, because it's a unique place to visit with a lot of...

Yes, but none of those are literally exact duplicates

Both Disney and SFMM already have a Vekoma Roller Skater. I thought the rumor was a copy of Canada Wonderland's Snoopy's Racing Railway? Although, given Knott's history, I'd figure they'd give it the Soap Box Racer name.

California is better themed, on board sound, and much, much smoother. While it may be a tamer ride, that's enough for a win to me. No contest. I think things would get more interesting comparing WDW Space with CA's Matterhorn... that's a much more similar comparison in terms of ride quality...

Any updates on this? I saw the vid of it valleying during testing, and another forum has claimed it it having some major problems, and likely won't open until next year--but wasn't any more specific.

The wheels for Superman: The Escape at SFMM appear to be a about the same size... and when you think about it, that ride and TT2 have a comperable ride experience (especially since S:TE now has a a forward and backward side)

"...new crowd favorite – the rollback." If this is a real leak, they have to stop getting fan boys to write the copy

I'm still not holding my breath, but hey... if it does finally open, that'll be great. Lost Island has a similar disadvantage, location-wise, but had a much smaller budget... and is still struggling with attendance. Which is a pity, because it's a great little park. I was just there less than...

I'm sure this will open right after Cota land and that Pole Coaster in Orlando opens

I always thought Alpengeist is more about the ski lift, then then goes "out of control" for the rest of the ride.

On the other side of the news, SF Great America is reopening their Sky Trek (Sky Tower) after being closed for 4+ years. https://wgntv.com/podcasts/coastin-the-country/sky-trek-tower-reopening-at-six-flags-great-america/

Since then, they've added decals that now mirror the concept art.

Not that it's a huge deal, but the Magic Mover at SFMM has still been in operation. So at least for now, I feel that can be taken off the list. And at least Goliath and Riddler are now back up, with a rumor that Roaring Rapids may actually be getting ready to return, so there's some hope in...
