  1. I haven't found anything about Feld Entertainment going under. They are still doing Monster Jam events. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/entertainment/events/2021/03/09/ellenton-based-feld-entertainment-brings-monster-jam-tampa/6904893002/
  2. New survey from Kentucky Kingdom: https://www.pages03.net/kentuckykingdom/GuestEngagement_Campaigns/ListeningCampaign_Main/
  3. Frontier City: Tumbleweed (Chance Rides Rotor) and Thunder Road Raceway (Go-Karts) are being removed. https://www.facebook.com/groups/thrillseekersunited1/permalink/889962368448107/
  4. Six Flags Over Georgia: Sky Buckets are closed and all signage removed.
  5. This is a chain wide policy and not just Great Adventure.
  6. A small Mack Rides Spinning coaster could fit there if Zephyr was moved. https://rcdb.com/12224.htm
  7. 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/
  8. From today's virtual No Coaster Con. https://twitter.com/aceonlineorg/status/1360640059003830275
  9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJEAGd1bQuc
  10. It's too cold for that.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. There are some new Drop Tower rides that would offer a new experience. S&S Spin Shot Tower: https://youtu.be/JjKyGxuluPo Zamperla Big WaveZ: https://youtu.be/Q3-xaOOpc8s https://youtu.be/8uw6yWmSj08
  14. Who runs the Save Kentucky Kingdom facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/SaveKentuckyKingdom/posts/2086310021504351
  15. 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
  16. Sounds like a positive change to me.
  17. Are you sure about that? https://www.knoxnews.com/story/money/2020/11/24/dollywood-new-president-looks-to-expansion-smoky-mountain-cabins-dreammore-res/6405205002/
  18. 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.
  19. Speaking of missteps, Screamscape needs to up their game or pass the torch to someone else. Screamscape is usually 2-3 days behind reddit.com/r/rollercoasters and most other sites with news.
  20. Cedar Fair trades Valleyfair and Kings Dominion to Six Flags for Six Flags Over Texas.
  21. "A second new rollercoaster here within the next year." would be the third new ride for 2021.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. 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:
  25. It will be interesting to see how the 4D Free Spin turns out at Kings Dominion and if Cedar Fair buys more of them.
