Yes, Batman at SFGAm is the first B&M invert and an ACE landmark because of that.

Looks like the cockroaches and bedbugs were having a good time too.

Allegedly, management from SFOG went to assess ArieForce One to see if they could relocate it, but it was a no-go. The person who said this alleged they heard this from a family member of the park president, so take this with a huge grain of salt.

I'm wondering if the dining plan counter starts after you purchase it. If so, I'm probably going to wait until after this season ends to buy it, so it doesn't overlap with my 2026 meal plan.

Can confirm. I was waiting in line for Flight of Fear a few years back and the ride went down due to storms.

You can see remnants of Wolf Pack with the removal of some of the rails and air gates, as well as wooden platforms placed above some of the track sections to be used as bridges for the haunt maze.

I'm in the same boat. I think if Kings Island ever got an RMC, it would be best if it had 3 trains for better capacity. AF1 has two trains with only 5 cars instead of the usual 6. I think the layout for AF1 would also make it awkward to fit into either Vortex plot or Action Zone, assuming that's where it would go. I think AF1 would be a better fit at a park like Holiday World (especially the 4th of July area with that color scheme) but there's still no telling what's going to happen to AF1 at this point in time.

This ride is costing Holiday World $22 million, so I would imagine a larger version of that would cost Kings Island at least $25 million, maybe even over $30 million which would make it more expensive than Orion. I think realistically if we get a new water ride, it would be something like what Carowinds is getting with Rip Roarin' Falls.

Glad to see a Mack Water Coaster finally come to the Midwest! The closest one as of right now is Journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld Orlando.

I don't think anybody is going to argue Millennium Force and Maverick not being in the upper tier coasters of that park.

It wouldn't be the first time Silver Dollar City has done that. (Looking at you, Fire in the Hole) Although, I hope they give this new coaster its own name and theme outside of Thunderation.

Nothing is confirmed at the moment, but the rumor is that it's going to be a Mack Rides family launch coaster. Something like what Wiener Prater is adding for next year. I would guess it would be a spiritual successor to Thunderation.

Guess you could say it really "rocked" their wallet...

Looking at this construction photo, the plot seems pretty flat from what I’m able to see. The only complication I could see is the area where it goes over the arcade building.

This press release was just released by Fun Spot. If you haven't been on Arieforce One yet, I would recommend trying to go down there if possible. This park is located about 30 minutes from Six Flags Over Georgia.
