Buy or Sell
OverlandTaxis30 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Sell - While I do think it is not impossible for some parks to have the “Six Flags” branding added (i.e. Kings Island: a Six Flags park), I don’t believe it is likely to be that extreme as you had suggested. But, hey anything can happen. Imagine Worlds of Fun being renamed Six Flags over the World (even though it only has five themed sections). Buy or Sell: This rumored 2026 coaster that KI is getting will turn out to be just that Beast 2.0 they had on the survey. -
Buy or Sell

Sell-But not for the reasons most people think. I know people are upset at the situation this year and have given Zamperla a lot of hate for it. But, I don’t see them giving up on it and I will bet they are doing what they can to rectify it, no matter how long it takes. That being said, I see expecting something like an opening day opening to be setting yourself up for another disappointment if that turns out not to be the case. If they do manage to get it fully functional by opening day, great! If not, then we are none the worse for it. Buy or Sell? - Holiday World will do something with the old Raging Rapids site within the next ten years. -
Silver Dollar City announcement
OverlandTaxis30 replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
If that is true, then it would be nice if one of said announcements is that of a new drive-yourself car ride (a-la Antique cars). Correct me if I am mistaken, but has anyone ever noticed that throughout SDC’s history, they have never had such a ride? -
Silver Dollar City announcement
OverlandTaxis30 replied to Oldiesmann's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I just checked Google Maps and according to them, SDC is roughly 3 and a half hours away from BOTH Worlds of Fun and Six Flags Saint Louis. That is only a little bit shorter of a drive than going from Kings Island and Cedar Point which is like 3 hours and 40 minutes. -
Something is Surfacing 9-19-2024
OverlandTaxis30 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
And there is nothing wrong with speculation as long as we remember that it is just that. Speculation. And that we should not go so far as to immediately assume that it is true. -
During one visit, I saw a visitor point at Mystic Timbers and declare that it was The Beast. I took a risk and corrected them in nice way, I hope. They didn’t react negatively from what I saw and seemed to be intrigued when I told them that The Beast was actually hidden in the back and that it was hidden so as you could not see what you were in for.

I wish and hope that at least the Coney Island display at EJ is salvaged and displayed somewhere.

RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025
OverlandTaxis30 replied to JubJester's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I do kind of wish they had a different color for each slide (like maybe red for one, blue for the other);) -
The removal of the Old Dominion Line not withstanding, Paramount at least had the sense to build their Italian Job somewhere else in that park and not remove their original antique cars for it.
