What a beauty; Source At this point it seems like most footers are done with a lot on the north side still needing to be poured. Seems like the drills have been pulled from the site, indicating that the task is up; Source In other ongoing offseason projects, the local Planning Commission...

SFC has been running lately as well. Might go see Wicked tomorrow, local mall cinema is pretty cheap on weekdays; Source

We be building footers! There will be many of them. Source Edit; Forgot to mention that track began arriving earlier this month;

Ah so that’s the mystery fourth sale then. Meanwhile at Cedar Point, Phase 3 of permits has gone in for additional ride foundations and utilities. I couldn’t tell you what exactly this encompasses.

Them black track pieces are here for the mountain and kinda fire; Source In the meantime here’s a couple of vanity pics I took at IAAPA last week because I arrived early for a good spot at the reveal and am extremely hyped to have it at home. This be the limited edition pin they were giving...

Per the park, Super Grover's is being kept in storage indefinitely, they could perhaps bring it back one day;

Since it wasn't posted in this thread... Kentucky Kingdom will be spending over $25 million on new rides and attractions for the next two years. More details after Christmas! In terms of other stuff going on, it appears that Thunder Run is having some funny reprofiling done at the base of the...

Boomerang is donzo after this weekend. Not often we see one of these removed; If I had to guess, they need a good plot of land for a new stock boomerang model that doesn't involve removing trees. Not sure why this is going so early if for a 2026 coaster but eh.

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
