I think FoF should get a refurb sometime soon like Adventure Express did. I think that mini area 72 land is nice but obviously FoF is showing its age and it used to be one of the best coasters in the park but it's been slipping slightly over the years because it's rattle is pretty bad now. The KD version is still amazing albeit feels slightly slower to me. I think we all know Invertigo doesn't have a ton of time left although thankfully they do seem like they are trying to baby it along and keep it running. Don't see that ride getting any sort of major refurbishment. We're just lucky they haven't removed it yet

Hopefully they at a minimum change the facade

Any way to post that here with a spoiler heading so those of us who want to see can and those who want to keep it a secret can not see it? Or maybe start a new sub discussion in a different thread? I like most people have never been able to find the info on Mason's permit office

One can wish right!

Part of me really does hope the pods get a different color paint other than black. Black of course is classic but having an additional color could be very classy

I pity the social media person who is working so late

So....where is it? Nearly 4pm and we still got nothing?

Who's ready for the next reveal?

Definitely looking more classy already

Yes just saw this today as well. As I just moved to Seattle from Cincinnati this year this is devastating. It's going to be really hard only having the Washington State Fair twice a year and then the Miler kiddy coaster at Remlinger. Wild Waves was one of the few parks in the region that sold season passes too. I'm now looking at a 2.5-3 hour drive minimum to go to any other parks. Probably will go to Playland in Vancouver more in the future as it's the second best park within a 6 hour radius after Silverwood

I think of myself of patriotic but I'm not really digging the designs. Just not my style I guess

Has anyone confirmed who is doing the voice acting for the characters in the new ride?

I meant aesthetically with the Western style buildings, shops, etc to feels like Dollywood. Dollywood does have better ops. I've never personally seen Aftershocks have more than a 15-20min wait. Timber Terror does need a second train. They just put a second one on tremors this year and it helped ALOT

Absolutely love Silverwood and said first time I visited that it felt a lot like Dollywood in some ways. While I worry a bit about hershlend growing too fast, I do think this will be a positive thing for Silverwood considering it will be one of their flagship parks considering its size and location with next to no competition. It pulls from Washington, Idaho, Canada, and Montana markets which is something alot of parks don't do.

I don't see six flags selling parks to hershlend especially in any market that there's any opportunity to compete in. Did they sell SFA or CGA to other amusement operators? Absolutely not be because it's a better strategy to eliminate competitors or "unneeded" parks. They didn't sell geauga lake either. If six flags is looking to unload more parks through sale to another operator like hershlend, it'll be ones that don't compete in any way with the properties they want to keep. For example Valleyfair is a good candidate for that. Is a sad day in the industry when parks close because of too many monopolies and big corporation bottom lines. I get that parks have to make money I'm just making the point that competition helps the industry and monopolies don't

As long as his face and audio works. Hate seeing the later POVs of PT where he's completely lifeless and faceless

For some reason the midway carousel at CP hasn't done much for me in the past. The pavilion is super ugly which doesn't help. I have never ridden the kiddy kingdom one. Will have to check it out next time I'm at the park

Did they run Sol Spin during Winterfest last year?

Any more updates on moonlite gardens?

Just an update on the carousels, I did get to ride the one at Santa Cruz about a month ago and while I did enjoy it very much it's hard to place. The clown mouth is definitely more difficult to throw a ring into than the Knoebels lion. The carousel itself looks a bit more dated and less pristine as the Spokane Looff Carousel. I did enjoy the fact that it was 4 across and all were jumpers Another pretty one I rode recently was the PTC at Elitch Gardens. Had very beautiful artwork and jumpers that were pulling the chariots

If it's running at full staffing and all the coasters are open like the day I was there it's a very enjoyable park! Their PTC carousel is very petty as well!

So is this the dude from that old rollercoaster movie that blows up the rides? Lol. Sorry I'm glad nobody got hurt and law enforcement acted

Firehawk 2.0 in Vortex plot...

100% this. You don't get that whip over the airtime hills on a 4-accross train like what they put on Mako and Candymonium
