Hopefully they fixed the lights. Alot were burnt out or not working last season and I've noticed the sockets on the arms closest to the center no longer had any tube bulbs in them anymore

I personally counted it because it does have a downhill section. Don't count the diskos but that's just me. Not gonna argue with anyone counting it or not counting it

I personally don't like wild mice that much and hope KI doesn't get one. They are just so unoriginal.

Sounds solid to me

Why does it have Nickelodeon vibes for some reason haha!

Oh I should add this isn't the same as the project purple coaster. This is in addition so we are looking at SFGAv getting two new coasters

https://rcdb.com/23902.htm It appears that Ragin' Cajun has found a new home at Six Flags Great Adventure! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14VM7GVKSkM/

The bidding has seemed to calm down but yeah I'm kinda at the point I can't justify spending over $250 for any of that stuff. It's cool to have a piece of park history but if I'm going to spend a lot of money, it better be for a ride I REALLY like and boo Blasters was a ride that I thought was just ok

I'm honestly surprised how much some of this stuff is already up to

Don't disagree that the inside counts more than the exterior but still sometimes I feel like what's another $20k or whatever it is? Fixing the exterior of the building is probably minimal cost compared to the rest of the ride. I get tired of parks getting cheap right at the end when they do these refurbishments. I understand being budget conscious but the old school do it right or not at all vibe in me is still strong haha

Not sure what they are doing to the entrance...wish they'd just knock the dang castle down and put up an original facade

Hopefully they go back to the greenish look or just do something very vaudville era looking. And please get rid of the castle pinnacles. Don't want a slapped up new paint castle entrance to an attraction they are paying so close attention to details on the inside

I am also curious how much it's going to go for. I no longer live in the area but I'm wondering if I could arrange with the park for a friend to pick something up for me provided I win?

I've never been to WoF but I was honestly surprised when I heard St Louis labeled as the flagship. I was definitely expecting WoF to take the top spot in the chain just based on what I know about the park. St Louis has a lot of older coasters. While I'm not a believer in EPR, I'm interested to see what direction this new company Enchanted Parks goes in the industry? Can they match the quality coming out of a chain like Herschend? Will they be similar to six flags? They could be horrible like premier parks we just have to wait and see. But they did get some parks with some good bones and if they can entice guests back into the gates and actually run the parks well it could be a really good long term solution for these parks that always got the short end of the stick under CF and SF management
