six flags

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...

Six Flags Great America A few buddies and I had the chance to visit Six Flags for a Chicago buddies weekend. If I’m honest, I have tried versions of this trip for years: get a few friends, go to Chicago, hang out around town, and go to SFGA. But if we’re honest, a comedic number of hangovers...

👀 Shall we keep our eyes on this? Has there been anything going on at SFGAm in recent months? https://x.com/SFGreat_America/status/1814027449505562810?t=qA9H4mBCAiacC0deDQYt7w&s=19

Preface I was recently reflecting in a separate thread on how life has moved on, my coaster enthusiasm, or at least the pace at which I can consume new coaster credits, dramatically decreasing to make room for other hobbies, pursuits, and work. This has especially been the case for those more...

There's been a lot of word swirling around this park as of the last few months so it's about high time we create a thread. Six Flags Great Adventure will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next season. They also have... very big plans in terms of capital expenditure. Here is more or less a...

On this day back 55 years ago in 1968 Six Flags Astroworld then just known as Astroworld opened to the public for the first time! What was your favorite memory of Astroworld?

My goals for 2023 is passed Calc 1 and to face my fears and ride all the coasters at my home park Six Flags St Louis. What is everyone’s goals for 2023?

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

Might as well make a thread for this while it's still a rumor. After a rather disastrous earnings report from Six Flags due to... err, the new strategy, Selim Bassoul made a full 180 and stated that they would restart capital investment at their parks again. New rides and coasters, pronto...

which RMC redo of the iconic Cyclone do you prefer?

So apparently markings have been sited at Six Flags St. Louis. I saw a few posts on twitter about it, then I saw a couple of youtube videos so here's the info: On the Former Tidal Wave plot their is marking sightings, Now this could really be anything but this could be big! Local Missouri...

Anyone caught wind of a re-opening date on this one?? I haven't been able to fit on it since I was 18, which is almost 13 years ago, because of my long legs. I actually have missed out on a couple other Schwarzkopf models too, because of my long legs. When they announced Mindbender was getting...

So, I've checked for evidence (if you guys wanna check it out too) but Wildcat at Frontier City has no visible website anymore. Now, I'm taking this with a pinch of salt but there was also a video recorded by a member of Frontier City Thrills on Facebook that showed Wildcat, then flashed to an...

Now this isn't confirmed however one of my Subscribers on YouTube has said that electrical work has been spotted at the site in between Joker's Jink and Whistlestop Park. Obviously isn't the best source (I know) but has anyone else heard something from this?

Hi guys. With all this talk of an economic downturn due to coronavirus, Six Flags is a name commonly being thrown around in terms of a theme park company at risk. But they seem to have been a bit up and down over the last decade or two (ironically, their financial state seems to parallel an...

Hey everyone! From just researching theme park stuff tonight, looking into the international expansion of Six Flags, I was just wondering if the company could open a park within the UK? Whilst the plans for parks in Dubai and China have fallen through, I still imagine that the division for...

I have never been to a Six Flags park in my life. I live in the UK and these parks have always seemed quite far away. Whenever I hear about these parks and their rides I often get confused about which is which. How many Batman: The Rides can there be? How many of them are Inverted Coasters and...

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...

Hi everyone. New here, but have been enjoying posts for quite some time. I have a question regarding the headrests on Kingda Ka and other launch coasters, like TTD, Maverick, etc. On Stormrunner my head had to be held back, face facing the sky with the top of the headrest poking my head...

Well, I went to Six Flags Darien Lake this last week on Friday (7/12/19) and had a pretty good experience up until the end. If you had been in the last few years, you may recall the park becoming more and more like an abandoned park that just happened to have people. The rides were in poor...
