No cash taken at SFGAdv this year
DiamondbackFan replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This is a chain wide policy and not just Great Adventure. -
A small Mack Rides Spinning coaster could fit there if Zephyr was moved. https://rcdb.com/12224.htm

Kentucky Kingdom
DiamondbackFan replied to sccard01's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Speaking of Keys to the Kingdom, I thought it was interesting that Herschend owns the the tv and film rights to "The Keys to the Kingdom" books. https://deadline.com/2019/05/herschend-entertainment-studios-the-keys-to-the-kingdom-garth-nix-books-acquisition-1202623675/ -

It's too cold for that.

Six Flags is considering building a waterpark in Mazatlan, Mexico. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=https://lineadirectaportal.com/sinaloa/six-flags-podria-inaugurar-un-parque-en-mazatlan-lo-visitarias_20210107-1168953/&prev=search&pto=aue There are also rumors that Six Flags is taking a look at Fresno, CA. I wouldn't be surprised it they acquire Island Waterpark.

I wouldn't mind seeing a compressed air launch coaster like Launch Roller Coaster at Sun Tzu Cultural Park. https://rcdb.com/12256.htm https://www.kuer.org/business-labor/2019-05-23/utah-amusement-ride-manufacturer-feeling-squeezed-by-both-sides-as-u-s-china-trade-war-speeds-up

Who runs the Save Kentucky Kingdom facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/SaveKentuckyKingdom/posts/2086310021504351 -
Kuwait Entertainment City is being demolished and their B&M Inverted coaster (Batman: The Ride clone) is listed for sale. What park would you like to see buy this coaster? https://www.interlink-lg.com/used-rides/inverted-coaster/ https://www.interlink-lg.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/INTK-66000-Used-RC93-specs.pdf https://rcdb.com/2872.htm

What area in Kings Island needs the most care right now?
DiamondbackFan replied to Dj325's topic in KI Polls
I voted for Action Zone. I think they could replace Invertigo and Congo Falls with a Mack PowerSplash and then retheme/update the rest of the area. -
[What if] Park exchange.
DiamondbackFan replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Cedar Fair trades Valleyfair and Kings Dominion to Six Flags for Six Flags Over Texas. -
Indianan Beach To Add 2 Rides for 2021
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
"A second new rollercoaster here within the next year." would be the third new ride for 2021. -
Kings Island Camp Cedar to Open Spring 2021
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
At first, I thought this guy had some sort of beef with the park because all of his videos and articles begin with "Don't Wa$te Your Money". It comes across weird. -
Indianan Beach To Add 2 Rides for 2021
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
In case you missed it, Gene Staples mentioned that quite a few new rides have been acquired. A second new coaster will be installed within the next year. They plan to add a new ride each year. Skip to about the 11 minute mark on this video. https://www.facebook.com/NewsandReview/videos/vb.271345239574505/414930102976641/?type=3&theater There is a lot of speculation that the second coaster is Cascabel 2.0. https://rcdb.com/353.htm -
Looking at the supports, it is clear that Kings Dominion is not getting the Six Flags model. The four \|/ shaped supports that get bolted to the foundation are not there. We don't know if this coaster is the same model as Adventureland Park or not. https://twitter.com/KDFansOnline/status/1335308941694291968 Six Flags model: Dragon Slayer at Adventureland Park:

It will be interesting to see how the 4D Free Spin turns out at Kings Dominion and if Cedar Fair buys more of them.

The Beach Waterpark is for sale!
DiamondbackFan replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I am curious if SeaWorld would be interested in converting this park into a Sesame Place. -
Based on comments made during the Q3 2020 earnings call, 2022 seems too soon for a major attraction. Something smaller and cheaper would make more sense. https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2020/11/04/cedar-fair-fun-q3-2020-earnings-call-transcript/
