I couldn't find a specific topic so I started this.  Admin, if there is one, please merge. I've often wondered:  when you look at The Royal Fountain from the entry plaza, you can see the pumphouse below The Royal Bandstand.  There are three arches facing the fountain, but only one is open, on the right. Do the other arches open?  Is it functional or decorative?  If decorative, why not open all three?

Holiday World’s Firecracker is more than a spinner—it’s a revived Calypso with roots at Americana near Cincinnati. A true time capsule ride. https://themeparksbydon.com/holiday-world-firecracker-calypso-ride-history/

Another change resulting from this merger: all of the Dining Plans and Drink Plans have been updated! It looks like they're mostly the same with new logos, but this is another step towards Six Flags actually looking like one company instead of two stacked in a trenchcoat.

Does anyone have some good photos of various Fun & Safety Guides from different parks? I keep seeing the KECO and Paramount era ones in Kings Island home videos and really want to know what those (and others) look like up close!

I'd think the "dropped objects" and slick floor issues might be fixed with some transparent panels or nets (they're more likely to install nets) attached to the top of the deck, would they not? If it works well enough over the pathway under Diamondback then I'd think they could also work for the Eiffel Tower. There's probably also a solution for blocking the walls, but I think they'd be fine as is to start back out. The elevator access is by far the hardest to fix, but it's not impossible to complete. I feel like it could be part of a park improvements year where they improve the park with little things instead of one major addition. While both elevators could probably be retrofitted to access the 50' deck, I think the park would only choose to install it for one of them.  The cafe idea would be nice, but I don't think it would work outside of special occasions since the most they could feasibly put up there is a snack cart and some tables. Maybe bump that Sunrise Tour price up a little and include "Breakfast on the Eiffel Tower's 50' Observation Deck" as a perk.    Does anyone know what the observation decks on the Oil Derrick at Six Flags Over Texas are like? It's also an Intamin observation tower, so I'm curious as to if it has 3 decks as well or just 1 or 2 at the top.
