    • After reading this thread as it is now, I’m really thinking the Six Flags board members could all benefit from playing the RCT game scenarios. See what it’s like to be in charge of a park all by yourself with some advice from notifications or RCT3’s park inspector: building things, hiring and managing staff and giving them patrol routes for more efficiency, etc. Some of the scenarios are real tricky too. I say the RCT scenarios for a reason. It’s not just because I’m most familiar with them(especially RCT3’s) but from what I’m seeing in the few scenarios on the original Planet Coaster game I’ve played so far, their scenario challenges just don’t hold up that well by comparison. Hopefully the new CEO actually knows what they’re talking about when it comes to the industry and is devoted to coasters and such.
    • Haunt at KI is PACKED.  Any idea the size of the pass-holder crowd vs the one-day ticket crowd? 
    • 10 years ago, during my first visit to Six Flags Magic Mountain, I did most of the coasters including Viper. At the time, Viper’s trains were covered in ads. It was really strange. I think some of the ads were beauty products themed or something. Next time I went to the park in 2018, they did get rid of them by then at least. Like honestly, a feature in the now year old Planet Coaster 2 game allows you to put things on rides and coaster trains to skin them and some people have taken that to the extremely. I saw a video on YouTube by LetsGameItOut with a steel coaster train having literally thousands of trees attached to it, leading to a nightmarish and hilarious outcome as the train went around. I’d honestly much prefer to see something nightmarish like that somehow irl against literal physics than see another ad plastered onto a roller coaster train.
    • I’ve been banging that drum from day 1. They kept the 6 name for brand recognition, oblivious to the fact that it was NOT a good impression. 
    • Nice photoshop skills! Pretty convincing. It’s funny how I fell for it when I literally got a certification in Photoshop in October 2021. It expired last year and it’s been a while since I’ve dusted off the photoshop skills I have myself but still. I also could see the park putting sponsor logos on shirts. These 25th anniversary shirts scream: “merchandising. Where the real money from the movie is made.” to me. But hey, at least they aren’t actually shameless plugs like the Spaceballs themed merchandise shown in the Spaceballs movie itself are. Instead, they’re actually a good move.
