If they are in fact tearing down the SOB station, I hope they also take the time and remove the old queue rails and clean up that whole area basically making the overlook area like it was when Top Gun/The Bat first opened. 

That is a great article Don. I love this idea. I also think the tasting cards need to come back for Food and Wine and Grand Carnivale. When we went to Silver Dollar City a few weeks ago, my whole family bought tasting cards and it was a lot of fun. Like you said, we were like, "what do we want to try next." The cards make it fun, which gets people to spend money. I have refused to purchase food at KI's events since the cards disappeared.

I guess John M. hit the nail on the head about ArieForce One! 🤣

Has Six Flags trained guests to ask, “Where can I use my meal plan?” instead of, “Where should we eat?” The company already has the building blocks—from smokehouses to food festivals—but there’s an opportunity to rebalance its food and beverage strategy by combining value, signature dining and premium experiences into something guests will remember.

I’m actually really upset that Hotel was the next to go since I have emotional attachment to this one, but I’m super hyped for whatever’s coming next. As far as I’m aware, Plague Productions is working on this house as well. Judging from the facade construction I’ve seen so far, it seems to have a post-apocalyptic or sci-fi theme. My thoughts are that it would be an underground bunker or mining area setting, but that’s just based off of what I can see from WindSeeker. The last I’ve seen from it, they built a billboard onto the facade that probably gives context to the theme if anyone can read it from up there. They enclosed the exit portion, but the permit lists it as a retheme so I’m assuming the basic layout will remain intact. I could not personally see this being an individual upcharge like Conjuring. With how these permits work, I also don’t know if “Project 13” is a codename or the actual name for the maze. If it was a codename, that would actually really fit a Jason maze though.
