    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    So there’s some new action afoot on site, including some new track modifications and track inspection. Unclear what the work is for, but something? https://x.com/topthrillstatus/status/1816886696463712463?s=46 https://x.com/realkingcorgi/status/1817014687877234718?s=46

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    Apparently the park has shifted to “Acts of God” for remediation.

    What is your favourite coaster that you’ve only ridden once?

    What Manufacturers did Cedar Fair cut ties with, partially or completely? What manufacturers did they stick with?

    To also pump the brakes; this is 98% informed by enthusiast hearsay, rather than “official” announcement or indicator from park official’s mouth. Just because the chain hasn't built a GCI since 2017, for instance, doesn't mean GCI is crossed out as manufacturer option.

    Cedar Point | Top Thrill 2 | Triple Launch Renovation | 2024

    I think @CaliAngel is pointing to "they should have gone with Intamin" as an ongoing mantra. I'm sorry, but until someone brings forth evidence that Intamin actually bid on the work; the trope is getting tiring:

    Six Flags Qiddiya| Saudi Arabia | Theme Park

    Good coverage in the latest Economist edition covering the broader tourism development strategy of Saudi Arabia. When you’re playing with $800B, it’s funny how the world’s largest, fastest, tallest, longest roller coaster is only a blip on the roadmap: https://econ.st/3WePhoX

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    From Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in the ruling (for context to @Sticky_T_Wicky): This isn’t a wild interpretation, and something constitutional scholars have also been affirming as they weigh in.

    US Election; what are your thoughts?

    But to your first point "was it an official act?", which validates these actions, you now need to prove it would have been a "personal act" too. It's really hard to untwine the two, and the Trump legal defense is already making this argument to have the New York case dismissed on the grounds...
