    Carowinds retires Nighthawk and two flat rides

    I liked Nighthawk and will be sad to see it go, but the real loss here is Scream Weaver.

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    I was kinda hoping the launches out of the barrels would be faster at least. Also I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't use the Mine Cart Madness theme, but I'm hoping they at least cycle through all the different tracks. The indoor part still looks a bit unfinished but the ride looks...

    Six Flags Over Texas | record-breaking B&M dive coaster | 2026

    It would be amazing if the ride ended up being a 300 ft tall version of Hangtime at Knott's. I'd go nuts over that. A drop like that hanging from 300 feet with lapbars? Count me in!

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Record breaking launch coaster could still mean anything right now. I'd be bummed to see the KK structure come down but as long as the replacement is better, it doesn't really matter to me in the long run. I definitely have a feeling they're keeping the tower in place but maybe that's hopium...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    There's enough space in the park for multiple new coasters in that corner without getting rid of KK. Not only do they have Green Lantern to work with but they also have the old Rolling Thunder spot as well. Right now its still way too early to tell what they'll get but a giga is a possibility...

    Kingda Ka and Green Lantern's removal for new 2026 record-breaking coaster

    Hail to the king! A couple observations about KK and SFGAdv SFGAdv's anniversary year was a bit of a miss. Nothing opened on time, and there were budget cutbacks everywhere! But the park is clearly making major changes to the park. The biggest being the new entrance setup. The old ticket...

    Rank your Ridden B&M Inverts

    Ridden a bunch of these since then 1. Nemesis - Love these old school B&Ms. The layout is short but it packs a serious punch. I love how the ride weaves in and out of the valley and around the theme elements placed throughout. This is the best overall invert I've ridden. 2. Afterburn 3. Montu...

    Someone needs to update their guest services staff about KK.

    Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

    Nope. Bought mine at Canada's Wonderland and activated it at Carowinds. I can't speak for that in the future because both chains merged together and it could go either way. The benefits on your current pass should stay the same, so upgrade the pass with the better benefits.

    Six Flags / Cedar Fair Merger Announced

    You can actually get the exact same pass for much less buying from Canada's Wonderland. Instead of paying $205, you're only paying $165 for the same pass after the exchange rate. I did that a few years ago and saved quite a bit on my current pass instead of buying from my home park. I'm letting...

    Your worst spite

    Since I forgot to post this one Cedar Point Me and my old roommates had a massive trip planned starting from Carowinds and park hopping all the way to Cedar Point. The original plan was to start in Orlando and make our way up, but COVID had its way and through a year of delays, we had hotel and...

    Halloween and spooky season; what are your thoughts?

    Halloween is the most wonderful time of the year for me. I love the vibe that parks give off in the fall. I love visiting different theme park haunt events and seeing how they compare to my home haunt. I love how parks are open later into the night. The weather is pretty consistent this time of...

    This year I added Good Gravy, Penguin Trek, Phoenix Rising, Hyperia and Iron Menace to the list.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    My educated guess is that Family Kingdom pretty much has a lock on the amusements in Myrtle Beach. It has a great location, bigger rides, and its relatively affordable for everyone. Funplex was a tiny little park that barely filled a city block and had 6-7 rides. Why pay for 6-7 rides when you...

    What would YOU guys do?

    If you work at KD, the park will organize official trips to other CF parks (and I'm pretty sure starting next year, you'll be able to get admission to Flags as well). As long as your work schedule doesn't conflict with the trip, you could always do that. You could also visit CP on your own...

    Last Cred Review

    What a coincidence. My last credit was 362. Untamed I do enjoy a good Eurofighter and this one is solid. That being said, the front row is stupidly rough while the back row is incredibly smooth. I love the lodge theming and all the little touches the park did to make it fit into the park. The...

    First (and probably last) trip to Chessington, 04/10/24

    If you visit BGT on a slow enough day, you only need one day. Just avoid most holiday periods and you'll be fine. Same with SWO, just visit on a slow day and you won't need to wait long for the coasters, slow ops or not

    Oasis at Lakeport | Osage Beach, Missouri, USA | Theme Park

    I'm glad to see some progress being made here, although I really can't see an April 2025 opening at all. Any word on if it got pushed back? I love seeing all these smaller parks like this and Mattel spring up. It beats seeing perpetual concepts and delays with larger projects like American...
