    Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

    "potential divestiture of non-core assets" as it reads within the outline. My immediate take would be consideration for water park and indoor water park resorts, which may have a wider market interest for potential buyers. For actual amusement parks, this is the kicker - the Six Flags/Cedar...

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    Hello, your neighborhood friendly moderator here. Tens of millions of votes were cast on either side of this election (the tightest in U.S. history at that), and likewise we have political opinion on either side in the CF community. Recognize, as votes are still counted - emotions are going to...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Because, Zamperla doesn't use survey markers? Sorry guys, please don't jump too far on survey markers; they can literally be anything but coaster work, such as repaving concrete or digging for new landscaping. Wait for more confirmation and tell before you call your shot. :)

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    If I may do an Ultimate Coaster-style response throw back for the older CFers in the room: Yes, Kingda Ka being removed would be because of new site prep needed for a new attraction. Not as much as you'd think - relocations typically hover ~$4-6M depending on size and scale, which is still at...

    What would YOU guys do?

    Work at KD and enjoy - we had constant streams of workers visiting CP during my time there from sister parks, who indeed had organized bus trip visits or coworkers taking the day off together to roadtrip. :cool:

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    It's almost like they put a windshield on the roller coaster trains for a reason! ;) I wouldn't sweat the dust, as: It is, still, an active construction site, kicking up dust. There really isn't roving dunes of sand/wind streams of dust specs at constant flow across this part of the Middle...

    Busch Gardens Williamsburg | The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge | B&M Family Invert | 2025

    So what do you expect from a family inverted coaster then to be a hit? A lift hill back into the break run isn't necessarily a deal breaker - cue Thunderation, Ninja, or Adventure Express as example.

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Green Lantern was indeed rough riding it last year. The idea of doing a floorless conversion and maybe relocating it to a more deserving park is a good idea in my books. For KK, I’ll just say it - I don’t see SF tearing it down this year - let’s not forget the millions of dollars in labor...

    Cedar Point | Siren's Curse | Vekoma Tilt Coaster | 2025

    Got to see the plot over the weekend - can confirm it's a big hole in the ground. The lightup sign above was a fun feature for nighttime viewing - it was actually a chasing color light, that was super eye catching from the midway. I will say, I continue to receive texts from all friends...
