I've noticed at Kings Island that Skittles and M&M ads are being played on Fun TVs and info displays. If you weren't aware, this was something seen primarily at legacy Six Flags parks prior to the merger, and it seems to me that the new Six Flags chain has started introducing this to the legacy Cedar Fair parks as well.

Here's some photos I took of the plot today.

Yeah, I think this park was the one that was talked about the most when it came to which park(s) Six Flags would potentially close. Unfortunately, I think the coasters there are either too old or, in the case of Superman, too big to be considered for relocation. I think some of the flat rides could be relocated though, as well as the new trains for Superman and Professor Screamore's SkyWinder.

I think they were referring to an area themed around traditional flight, as opposed to the more "science fiction" theme with Area 72.

Seeing that "falling trees" teaser gave me quite the nostalgic memory. I remember first coming to this website during the 2017 decoding thread (which spoilers alert, ended up being for Mystic Timbers)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Valravn was the last Cedar Fair coaster to exit through a gift shop. I was thinking they already have Coaster Connections as a gift shop, so they could just have merch for the new ride in there as well as the Emporium on International Street.

I made this quick concept for a Zamperla spinning coaster akin to Wild Mouse at Cedar Point for the Xtreme Skyflyer plot.

That, and companies usually stay on Notice of Commencements even after their projects were completed. (like B&M and GCI) Zamperla could've been on there because of Cargo Loco and Sol Spin.

It would be interesting to see a Zamperla Wild Mouse themed to Bavarian Beetle

It could still be possible. Looking at an older video from Amusement Insiders, Canada's Wonderland's Xtreme Skyflyer was removed in early March 2024, while ours was removed around mid-late March. Mind you, theirs was removed because of a major coaster that was going to be built for the following year.

Looks like there's a survey flag in the fourth photo. Could this fit the bill for a family thrill attraction?

That would be nice to see, though I'm doubtful Six Flags would be interested in bringing back an attraction like that. Especially when Cedar Point's Snake River Expedition only lasted three seasons.

I found this amusing error in the app. Or is it not an error and the park won't communicate with us about WindSeeker getting relocated for some reason?

What I'm saying is people shouldn't be over-reliant on information from fan-made Facebook groups, as those are notorious for having lots of misinformation, so it's more difficult to filter out the real news with the fake news. Just because one person has been removed doesn't mean others won't spread misinformation as well.

Personally, I don't think the park should be using Facebook groups at all for promoting changes. As we've clearly seen with the stunt that was pulled with the fake email, Facebook can be a hot pot for misinformation.

Something I heard was that they might put up new billboards to commemorate the ride's 20th anniversary, but I cannot confirm that.

The date states that it was taken on March 8th. Although Skyflyer is still present in the image, you can see the base of it was already demolished. This image has to be from the 2021 season. It was the only year where Slingshot and Orion were present alongside Carnivale, as that event wasn't held during 2020 or 2022.

It's still entirely possible that it could still end up being closed. We'll just have to wait and see what happens throughout the season.

My speculation is that the person who originally posted the news edited an official park email to make it say that "The Monster was being retired". Now why someone would actually go through the effort of doing that is another question entirely.

My apologies for reposting that false information earlier. I admit I was fooled by it as well, as I was just trying to let you guys know if Monster truly was going to be retired. The source contained an email image that was convincingly provided by the park itself The topic at-hand being rather niche, as only a few people online really know about anything odd surrounding Monster right before park opening. So I didn't think someone would go that far to make up something like that for clout. So I guess the main takeaway is, don't trust any information (especially on Facebook), unless it is confirmed by the park itself. That, admittedly, also opens up another can of worms, as it was because of word-of-mouth that we knew about rides like Kingda Ka potentially closing before it actually did.

Exactly why I put the word "apparently" on my initial post. People will fake the weirdest things.

I would say so. However, I don't think the 2026 attraction is going to go in the Monster plot, as it definitely feels like the decision to remove Monster was made at the very last minute. Edit: Not confirmed yet if Monster is retired.
