One thing I always wondered about with these machines is what they would do if you used a steel penny.

Here's my friend when we visited back in 2021.

For the sake of being a contrarian, I will elect to die on my hill. The Bat will continue to soar. Please, God...

Everyone seems determined that The Bat is going to be demolished soon. Frankly, I don't see it. I personally see The Vortex plot as far better real estate for the park in regards to a new coaster being built. If we are going by the "service life" mumbo jumbo, I don't feel you can really compare The Bat to Vortex just because they are both Arrow coasters. Vortex was far rougher than The Bat currently is and didn't really fill much of a niche for your average person. This being said, I don't feel like it is impossible that they decide to remove it within a five year time frame. I just feel there are far more likely candidates such as Congo Falls or Invertigo, the latter of which has a horrendous throughput. I personally expect to see close to another ten years out of The Bat, but we shall see.

Okay, I can agree with that.

I've been actively trying to forget that exists for over twenty years now.

I was not expecting Dead or Alive, but I was quite happy to have received it.

Most removals were pretty much unavoidable in a practical sense, but I honestly don't see any reason for Phantom Theater to have gone when it did. Paramount essentially replaced the guts of the ride with an IP they owned, at the cost of a significantly cheaper and more forgettable experience. By the time CF got the park, I'm sure a lot of the hardware for the original animatronics was long gone. It's another unfortunate blight of the Paramount years, but it is what it is. And as far as the topic of Vortex's demise goes, I am honestly surprised we got to have it for as long as we did. Old girl was quite rough during most of the 2010s.

Don't give them any ideas.

Still doubling down on a Virginia Reel for the Coney Mall. I can not be convinced with anything else.

Why is BonziBuddy on my hard drive now?

I believe they had some in the petting zoo at the Lion Country Safari. Being that it closed in 1993, 100% of them are certainly dead now, I'm sorry.

I'm talking about a REAL arcade, perhaps even a bar/arcade. I'm thinking something straight out of the 90s on steroids.

I'm gunning for a dark, rain forest themed arcade. Not gonna happen, but that would be sick.

Hey, Sanford and Son rules.

Quickest and cheapest way would probably be redoing the roof with red metal.

This is very true, but do tell me it isn't a crime that the PT Cruiser could have looked like this.

Yeah...

Never trust concept art.

Just give it a couple of summers and it'll look weathered no matter what they do. There are so many spores and junk in the air around here.

I wonder what will be done to our little skeleton friend in the 2nd tunnel.

At long last! The new premium Cedar Fair™ restroom has arrived!

"Adventure Express is perhaps the park's most-anticipated new ride." I get that they are refurbishing it, but I fail to see how it's going to be that different of an experience.
