It indeed has been closed for months, with no sign of anything happening to it. While it has operated sporadically over the last year or so, it's definitely been closed way more than it's been open (like maybe 80/20). While the app just lists it as "Closed" (not temporarily), it's status has...

^When it's open, Superman does still get lines. I like it. And given it's 30 year old technology, you'd imagine it could be updated to more reliable tech if they just wanted to invest a bit.

I don't know if I buy that this is closing either, but the fact that every 400+ coaster in the world is currently down (TTD and Superman) certainly makes it seem ominous for all of those rides. I don't know about the status of TTD, but rumors are Superman aren't looking great either.

Honestly, I'm shocked that ride lasted as long as it did. It's 40 years old, and being so unique has got to be difficult to maintain.

I may have missed it, but I didn't see that anyone has been on the very elusive Wiener Looping... I did that many, many years ago when I was probably an early teen, back at Baseball & Boardwalk (formerly Circus World... it was either right before or right after that transition) in Orlando. I'll...

Most of it is under tarps, so there's not been much to see.

Goliath is pretty notorious for that final helix--"the centrifuge"--and most people do at least gray out regularly. While the GP really seems to like FT, if you're a fanatic, you probably didn't miss too much. It's just too short to be of much consequence. Not that it's bad... I do enjoy it...

Six Flags Magic Mountain also sent out a survey for the giga dive coaster. One somewhat interesting thing about the survey... while it had the Six Flags logo all over it, the web address was Cedar Fair. So some of the first things coming out of the merger?

I agree with all (Knott's did not mention the land would be delayed by an hour until after the park was already open), but to their small credit, they did get the restrooms open. I've heard multiple sources saying the restrooms weren't open, but I did use them. Maybe they either opened late or...

If there had been reasonable ops, it shouldn't have taken that long. Also, I'm a Snoopy fan, Mr. Judgy McJudgeface

I was there and rode it yesterday. There's some cute (and somewhat subtle) animatronic effects on the ride, but efficiency is a disaster. Entrance and exit are on the same side, and the cars are very tiny (preventing sitting together). Many adults were being sent on the walk of shame, and...

I use glasses straps on all sorts of rides, and haven't had an issue with them yet. Strangely, at SFOG, one ride op asked us to remove my glasses, even though they had a strap. And I'm basically blind without them. Which is why I figure CF is allowing glasses with straps, because if someone...

Ugh, not a fan of having Riptide Rescue being relocated there. That's a much bigger plot of land, and you'd think there'd be a better use for it. And it would also leave behind a small plot of land that has no real serious development options, other than maybe a deck or yet another store/food...

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.
