I'm still having a hard time believing this park would be under the Six Flags brand. The areas in those renderings look far too nice to be in a Six Flags park.

Why are people hating on the mine train? That thing was pretty fun!

It was big mega park time with Six Flags Magic Mountain. A few years ago I would’ve dreaded coming here, expecting to deal with the usual Six Flags bull**** but on a larger scale. And a year round park with this many creds gives more potential for unexpected ride closures and whatnot. Nowadays...

I mean, the ride isn't "good," but the racing aspect makes it fun and there are some surprising drops sprinkled in. If it was just a single coaster by itself, I'd say have at it. But it also acts as a more family-friendly/intermediate coaster, so turning that into something a little less...

It's a kids coaster, and the track seems to be complete. They're not gonna wait until the end of the summer to open a small ride like this.

Dreadful coaster. Sounds like it'll be sticking around long term too. Not that they have any reason to remove it. Still seems pretty popular among the GP.

Both parks have great staff and great, but different, atmospheres, but the thing that elevates Cedar Point immensely over Kings Island is the coaster lineup. The lineup at Kings Island isn't as good as a lot of people think. Mystic Timbers is amazing, Diamondback is great, Beast can be great...

Looks very nice. Cool so see it make it up the spike pretty well. I don't recall Saven making it up that much.

Do any other manufactures other than S&S make shot towers? Even then, there's plenty of drop tower variety to make them more interesting.

Layout looks good! Yes, they need some landscaping to really spruce it up.

Alright we back for 2023. I've settled on continuing this thread instead of starting a new one, but I've put together a table of contents at the first post. So if you haven't opened this thread in a while and it throws you to the very start, there're direct links to the parks you want to read...

This might end up being the shocker of the year... 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Skyrush 3. Lighthing Rod 4. Voyage 5. Piraten 6. VelociCoaster 7. Ravine Flyer II 8. Wildfire 9. Iron Gwazi 10. Twisted Timbers 11. Fury 325 12. Maverick 13. Storm Chaser 14. Nemesis 15. Phoenix 16. Shambhala 17. Mako 18...

Those pathway interactions are fantastic!

So that wraps up 2022, which was easily my most exciting year for coasters! I genuinely had a lot of fun writing these up for you guys, and I hope you get some entertainment out of them. I've got more coming for 2023 (I just got back from a long weekend in California), but before I get those...

There was a certain coaster that finally opened last year that everyone had been raving about. And with my SeaWorld pass set to expire by the end of January, I had to make sure I put that to use. I started off 2022 with a visit down to Orlando, so it was only fitting to end the year the same...

Only got to attend one CF Live, but the 2019 Kentucky Kingdom & Holiday World Live was an absolute banger! It was my introduction to an incredible group of friends and led to some even bigger and crazier meetups. Had a ton of fun both parks, with highlights including Storm Chaser whoring...

Let’s keep the momentum going again. Made a weekend trip down to Atlanta at the end of September for another Buzzed Bars meetup. In addition to Six Flags Over Georgia, the plan was to hit up Fun Spot Atlanta for some RMC time, but we all know what happened there. But it’s okay, we settled for...

Have a few thoughts on this and interested to hear what others have to say about it. First off, sad to see that the Lives might be going away. I've only been on one official Live, among the last of the US ones, but it led me to make some lifelong friends. Sure, the trips we've done have become...

I had some business to take care of about 45 minutes north. I was never gonna end up doing a full mop up of the Jersey shore… it would’ve required more time but honestly hunting down a bunch of visa spinners, kiddie creds, and other **** doesn’t sound fun. But I figured I could at least check...

Yeah I was gonna mention Nemesis but forgot about it. This year is a great example of how big a hole it'll leave the park. There's solid stuff for sure, but even collectively the lineup isn't a big draw without her.
