Six Flags Magic Mountains Raptor would like to have a word with you

Doesn't BGW not usually open until March or April? It's the worst weather park of all the major ones in the chain.

2nd post pandemic trip update Hit up Sesame Place, Six Flags Great Adventure and Morey's Piers (along with a trip to seabreeze a few weeks back). (new additions in bold) 1: Steel Vengeance 2: Lightning Rod 3: Voyage 4: Storm Chaser 5: Twisted Timbers 6: Outlaw Run 7: Goliath (SFGrAm) 8...

Can confirm. They have basically the same sign up at Great Adventure

I have to imagine the reason not to actually have it dive off the cliff are two fold. One it's probably WAY more money to safely incorporate it onto the quarry wall and B&M's already aren't cheap so adding more money to the cost may not be ideal for Six Flags Two and probably more relevant...

I'll believe it comes to fruition when it opens. Seen to many of these over the years

It's the topper/runner plate on the I-box, but since it seems like topper doesn't exist anymore.

Talon and it's REALLY not close.

Looks like Darien Lake's ferris wheel is gone now.

To be clear I'm not sure about recently if they're still being limited, but when they were testing and stuff before it's been left SBNO everything I had heard was they were hitting capacity.

I'm also not a business person but I think this is the problem. The park is hitting the capacity it's allowed to have every day so why open the new thing and pay the operating costs of it?

This seemed noticeable on stunt pilot's POV as well (when you weren't in an inversion)

Maybe not the exact same out of control feeling as the prototypes since RMC learned a lot from those and seemed to have changed the design, but it's already thrown out a water dummy...

Yeah Darien Lake is Buffalo's main park. Many people who live in the area will frequently also go to Canada's Wonderland in normal times but many Canadians will also visit Darien Lake and make a camping weekend out of it as well. Marineland really isn't a factor for anyone in the area (another...

Basically this. Park was a DUMP before it closed, but a dump with a TON of space and a MAJOR world attraction 15 minutes up the road. With care and proper investment this could easily be turned into a great park. That said it'd likely take a TON of capital to do that so I find it unlikely and...

Pouring one out for topper tracks. The woodies were some of the best RMC's

This is honestly something I keep coming back to. It was 9 years between Voyage and Thunderbird. Unless it's SDC or BGW (who's plans changed) I think it's likely that the front runner thought is Holiday World.
