Oof, that is a hot take. I was violently reminded riding Cheetah Hunt last November why we're grateful for the soft strap. :P

O Oh it's ok, Florida wasn't part of the United States when the Mason-Dixon Line was established, so we'll just pretend like the quib stands. :P

Corrected it for you. To also add to intrigue, there's a Chick-fil-A Dwarf House (yes, you read that right) on the drive out, which is a rare sit-down restaurant experience of Chick-fil-A; America's fast food chicken cultural staple.

For a good scary genre entry, the Haunted Mansion ride at Knoebels has some of the best dark ride jump scare I've ever encountered - definitely pushes the envelope from "fun dark ride with kooky theme" to "ohhh, they're really going for it".

Snagged some of the B-roll photos, which confirms some of the trim placement on the main drop and airtime arch. Gorgeous seeing more of the ride in real-life context!

At last check last weekend, there remains a good portion of landscaping to be finished (read as still quite active construction site). June 6th feels an aggressive timeline - I'd wager a just-before-July-4th opening personally. (sadly)

Great work @Matt N! On Part 1 - Interesting to see the correlation results, which mostly align with correlation I've run on my own personal rankings (Pearson correlation being used here): FWIW, I'd argue the Spearman correlation is actually the more apt approach, as Pearson inherently...

ummmm, looks more like an awning to me.

Cue the inertial dampeners!!!

Clouds coming in a little low today. 😅

I only need to reflect on my trip report (https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/six-flags-america-in-an-hour-and-a-half.41004/) for why the SFA closure announcement does not move me, but it's always a bummer to lose any major park, even a lower Tier 3 type. While the coaster lineup is...
