cedar fair

2024 has emerged as a landmark year for the amusement park industry. Two major rivals, Cedar Fair and Six Flags, have finally merged to form a monolithic conglomerate. World record roller coasters are encountering various fates: some are inching closer to fruition, like Falcon's Flight; others...

It has been rumored that Southern Star at Carowinds could be rebuilt at another location within the park, and from these photos the disassembled ride and vehicle can be seen in a staging area behind Hurler, looking in good condition and suggesting the ride will be relocated within the park or...

Wooden coasters have been relocated before, especially some very notable ones. The cost is a fraction of building a new one, so I find it plausible that CF would look to relocate this great coaster. I feel that wherever it could potentially go, it would instantly be the best or at least top 3 in...

What defunct coaster do you miss the most? For me: Shockwave at SF Great America/GASM at SF Great Adventure

Bloomberg is reporting that SeaWorld has made a $3.4 Billion offer to take over Cedar Fair. Take a look at the article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-01/seaworld-said-to-make-3-4-billion-takeover-bid-for-cedar-fair Would be a WILD scenario if it comes to fruition.

Hi Everybody! I have just got home from Worlds of Fun located in Kansas City, MO and would like to share some information I have received from a long-time employee. I can not share the name or what coaster he was working at because their is a good chance he would loose his job. Besides their is...

I recently reached out to Joyce Stablewski at GCI, and this is what she said. I asked her this: "Are you going to be working with Cedar Fair in the near future? If you are, what parks would you think you're working with?" I assumed I would get no response but I did. She said "We are always...

So, it turns out there's some markers over this month at Kings Island and all the details can be found here: https://coasternation.com/new-markers-appear-at-kings-island/ But, the amazing Coaster Nation has made a Wing Coaster using those marker placements and if this would be the result of the...

Hi guys. As discussion seems to have started in the Steel Vengeance thread about a potential 2020 coaster for Cedar Point, I decided to make this thread. Now, Tony Clark has apparently hinted multiple times at a 2020 coaster that will be akin to Steel Vengeance in terms of scale, and many other...

Just seen Amusement Insiders video on the Q2 Stock Holders call. For now, it is said that Canada's Wonderland have green light on the hotel, apparently announcing something on August 14th and there's possibly one or two more coasters (other than Kings Island) in 2020...and it could be a smaller...

For me, the parks with the best entrances are: •Islands of Adventure ('The Adventure Begins/Lives On' ? Also the music is great) •Alton Towers (I absolutely love the entrance music here and Towers Street always gets me excited) •PortAventura World (Mediterranìa is a brilliant and beautiful...

First off, as a joke, at least I'm not starting my posts recently with "I've been told" lol ?. But seriously, I've just found this image of a shipment and it looks like a Zamperla attraction will join Carowinds in 2020. The article from Coaster Net, states that three attractions they think it...

Valleyfair have announced the removal of Dinosaurs Alive: Time to guess Bolliger and Mabillard Inverted Coaster????

Hi! I recently got hired for the 2019 season at cedar point. I live a fair distance away so I will have to get employee housing. To anyone with experience living there or knowing of anyone who did.; which employee housing option do you recommend and why

Recently hearing the news about Firehawk (formerly known as X-Flight at Geauga Lake) at King's Island shutting down, I decided to make this thread. Since Geauga Lake was my home park, I have many fond memories of the park. Sadly, by the time I was tall enough to ride most of the coasters, the...

One thing that has been bugging me is what could be changed for theme park halloween events, such as Alton Towers Scarefest, Thorpe Park Fright Nights, Halloween Haunts, Halloween Horror Nights, Six Flags Fright Fest, etc. What would you see change? What do you want to see added or removed?

So a cool news story a bit off the beaten path; Bowling Green State University is launching a Tourism Degree, which will be based out of their Fireland's branch campus in Sandusky, Ohio. The new degree will be a Bachelor's in Resort and Attraction Management, and will operate out of a new...

This trip really was one of my most anticipated trips I’ve ever been on! I’ve never been to either of these parks, and as you can see from my top 3, I really enjoyed both of these parks. Before I got to go though, I had to march in a parade for Memorial Day, drive from the Toledo, OH area and...

Hey y'all, so a couple weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get the chance to head on down to the newly refurbished Knotts Soak City, and while it was mobbed, I still had a fantastic time!! Here's a quick run through of my day (with no pictures as I didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable) --...
