Officials have just approved a portion of the request to rebuild Funtown Pier, which will most notably include a 200-foot-tall Slingshot; https://lavallette-seaside.shorebeat.com/2024/11/funtown-pier-rebuild-approved-in-seaside-park-owner-to-propose-200-foot-tall-ride/

The California project is space themed, Florida is more debatable right now. Intamin’s also been transparent enough about their involvement on the show floor that I can mention it here. So yeah, Multidimensional coaster nailed down.

Had a conversation with Chad Miller about it today. Park owners would like to retire, they’re hoping they can help sell the coaster rather than see it be torn down. Would probably cost around $3.6 million to relocate all things considered, a solid million or so less than if it were brand new.

So as fate would have it the ride is broken broken. Moser explained that the crane operator at 2am had damaged a wheel at the top, allowing the cable to go slack. They have no spare parts and while they could run it without, no company is desperate enough to risk an accident on the show floor...

Day 2 was a blast indeed, had front seats at the press conferences for WhiteWater and Polin, they’ve treated us like royalty even though I’m a student from a waterpark background and not press. Lots of merch, Turkish Delight, Turkish Coffee, cake, champagne, and time to talk with the...

Didn’t attend the Merlin one so can’t say anything. Overall though day went remarkably well, as a first timer it was a pretty big experience, especially with a car being revealed for my home park (AlpenFury). Got to meet and chat with @ECG and a large handful of others, three more days on the...

This one has an endless supply of complimentary Twizzlers on it during the event.

Not me trying and failing to get a good shot on my knees, only for @ECG to immediately scurry into my vacated spot and pull it off flawlessly. Train in person has been a beauty to behold;

Okay backing it up, Zumanjaro is indeed gone;

A couple of notes on the situation; There's been no FAA permits filed to my knowledge, which would have to come very far in advance of work happening on a 400-ft-tall structure near an airport. Demolition permits haven't gone up yet either, but that bit is irrelevant. If anything was happening...

Right, thank you. Seems like coaster isn't completely off the menu for Mexico, per the big 2026 press release from Six Flags; Source

Footers! Source

Carowinds 2026 per a Six Flags press release this morning; Source

Per a new Six Flags release it seems like this is officially 2026, to no surprise. Construction site has been kinda frozen for awhile now. The wording however is interesting; Source

Big bombshell press release about Six Flags' capital investments for 2026. Here be this; I mean, I wasn't down to being proven right this early, but yeah ok. Was really looking forwards to the speculation. Question now is if they do a giga dive. Source

Local news article teases an announcement of an announcement;

Well here's something concrete and non-rumored. Demolition permits were filed this morning for Parachute Tower, Twister... and Green Lantern. Nothing on Kingda Ka yet. Source

Should we be worried?

Some answers at last tomorrow;

Well was poking around my archives this evening and remembered that Over Texas had jumped on the survey bandwagon back in August. Three ideas, all apart of a common roster that Cedar Fair leadership is hooked on for some reason; a indoor/outdoor dark ride coaster, Zamperla family thrill...
