Great move for Six Flags, it creates more value for those around Six Flags Great America.

I don't really like any mainstream roller coaster channels, overtime they aren't very entertaining and I prefer podcast style media about roller coasters than anything, so I have to plug this Youtube, ElToroRyan, it's very underrated and I find the content to be pretty entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/user/Blasianskater. Then for No Limits 2 stuff it's for sure XYZ Coaster https://www.youtube.com/user/XYZcoaster. Then I really wish Theme Park Maniacs was still a thing... I really miss watching his videos and miss him in general https://www.youtube.com/user/themeparkmaniacs

I have memories of watching the ride but being too young to ride back in 2006-2007ish, (I know it was before Diamondback.) Then 2010-2012 I watched the ride just sit there, as boring as that sounds, Son of Beast fueled me to be who I am today and loving rides and attractions, watching the ride get demolished got me looking at theme park forums on the regular in my free time.

That just means that it's their best revenue in that five-week period compared to other years, also factor the fact that Cedar Fair lost money this year and I don't personally think they can get the money they lost in June and July back (which I don't think is Cedar Fair's fault for anything, but I'm pretty certain everyone is down this year, and the only reason SIX grew 3% is because they acquired five new parks in the first quarter)

Very fun weekend! Glad to spend it with you guys!

new names are not new credits in my book

TEA is never reliable, just saying, it's actually higher than that.

Actually Intamin uses a single spine, they have a new style of track that Hyperion is using

I think a dark ride with some sort of coaster element would be awesome! I'm thinking a Mack Inverted Powered Coaster!

Thank you so much! They look very nice!

GCI makes a ton of large wooden coasters, I don't consider a 109ft tall GCI roller coaster a "small" wooden coaster, same can be said for Thunderhead at Dollywood, the same can be said with over examples, Maverick is only 105ft, but that's a 21 million dollar investment, Mystery Mine is 85ft and that was 17.5 million dollars, right now the largest GCI built is Wodan at Europa Park at 131ft, and I think there's one in China that I can't remember the name of the park. I really think enthusiasts underestimate how much a roller coaster actually costs to construct, even when RMCs were on the cheaper end to build, they were still millions of dollars and parks don't just drop millions of dollars everyday, Brad Thomas has a great quote in Devin Olson's Outlaw Run documentary: "10.5 million dollars for any company is significant, we don't take our investments lightly"

Where do you get the 2021 rumor? There's no hints or anything credible to the point of calling out random years, also Son of Beast's old station is really ugly.

Falcon's Fury is incredible, but not very forceful.
