After visiting many other Cedar Fair/Six Flags parks I’ve come to the realization that I don’t give KI enough credit. It has a special feel that no other park in the chain can match. That’s why I don’t see it falling down the chain anytime soon no matter what Six Flags does to it.

I’m okay with the smaller investments the park has been receiving in the past few years. They’ve touched up some weaker parts of the park and made them look very nice. I wouldn’t mind if we got something like a madhouse in the Crypt building for 2026. I think another indoor attraction is always a win. Plus Rivertown doesn’t have any flat rides. My hope is that they touch up Action Zone in 2027 and give it a retheme. Then come 2028 I think it’ll be time to replace Vortex. I’d love to see a large scale Mack launch coaster similar to Stardust Racers. Maybe not dueling but make it bigger than one side of Stardust Racers. Stardust Racers has a height requirement of 48 inches which is perfect and I think they could do so much with a Mack multi launch coaster in that plot of land. Maybe 2-3 inversions. If it takes them a long time to find a worthy world class coaster to replace Vortex I have no problem waiting.

Did they replace River Racers ERT with a bubble show preview at 7?

They could have been surveying for an attraction in the Crypt building maybe not the coaster itself.

I think the family thrill attraction for 2026 will go in the Crypt building. Maybe further down the line (2027, 2028) they’ll update Boo Blasters. I know Mike has expressed interest in updating Boo Blasters for a while so I’m sure they’ve had some conversations about it.

Mystic permits were filed in early June of 2016 if I’m not mistaken.

I 100% agree! I think it would be perfect for that plot of land. I can picture it just towering over the back half of Action Zone as you walk in.

I hope you’re going later in the year because I’m hearing it might not be open until mid June at the earliest.

I saw Mystic running back in early March with all 3 trains.

Looks like it’s replacing Paradise Island.

The more I think about it the more I want a S&S Screamin swing to replace Skyflyer next year. I love Screamin swings and I think it would be a perfect fit for Action Zone. I can just picture it towering over Action Zone with guests staring at it in amazement.

Since the drones are back I wonder if that means the family thrill attraction for 2026 won’t go in The Vortex plot since that’s where they launch the drones. Or construction won’t start until after August 31st which would likely mean a delayed opening in the spring.

Did anything ever happen with this? Still hoping for new trains.

I saw them cycling a few mornings ago. Opening day is right around the corner.

I doubt Mike would go for this but I wouldn’t complain if we got something like this. As long as it came with an Action Zone retheme.
