Well deserved.

The fact that these corporate morons thought this merger was a good idea, coupled with the fact they thought the Six Flags name had any brand equity/positive reputation, is proof (in my opinion) that this was never going to work. And I’ll say it…. The hype around AF1 is stupid. It’s a hand-me-down coaster from a failed park that may not even come to fruition. And if it does, it’ll most likely be altered in some capacity to be forced into a park it’s ill fit for. I remember a time when Six Flags was mocked for ride relocations, parking lot coasters, and terrible customer service. Well… here we are. And unfortunately there are quite a few stellar parks, KI specifically, who are going to suffer because of idiotic, greed fueled decision making processes of a bunch of out of touch boomers. Not to mention the talented folks who got fired a few years back because of this merger.

The entire point of… well, all of this fandom, is escapism. At least in my opinion. Sorry things are tough for you right now. Mean that. You don’t deserve to feel like that way. And I’m also sorry some on this site (and beyond) feel the need to use their faux-insider knowledge as a way to gate keep actual discussion about the park. Being realistic and knowledgeable is one thing, even if it comes across as harsh. But when you’re shooting fish in a barrel (like all of us here) and still missing, it’s a bad reflection on the fandom when that type of attitude is put out on display. Appreciate you continuing to share your opinions on the matter. That’s what makes this fun.

Uh huh……………… ………………………..

Surprised I haven’t seen this come up yet, but it looks like AF1 has been sold and will be relocated. Just came across this TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTULQ6E5U/

I used the FAQ feature in the app to ask if PT:ON will be open during Halloween Haunt and it encouraged me to reach out to Enchanted Parks. 🤙🏻 Great job, chain! Appreciate the Mid-Answer.

Sounds like Magic Mountain is ready for a ground up, RMC Son of Beast.

Naming your park “Mid” is certainly a choice.

One of those people who always, to me anyway, felt too good for this world. Beyond music and theme parks, she was an example of how people should be, especially in a time where things aren’t always the best. Much love to her family.

Managed 15 visits this year so far. Hoping to add more over the next few weekends, a couple of Haunt/Fall visits, and at least one Winterfest visit (hopefully more). Between the parking, Fastlane, VIP lounge, and discounts… been pretty happy as a first time Prestige Pass buyer. I’m sure there’s plenty who are going to disagree for a number of different personal reasons, but all in all it’s been a pretty great season for the park, me, and the family. We’ve had a lot of fun, probably more fun than I’ve had in the park since I was younger. Things might not be perfect, but I wouldn’t say the sky is falling, especially compared to other parks. Not so much of an excuse for things that could be improved, but yeah. I definitely feel like it was worth it to go Prestige. Looking forward to the rest of the season and beyond.

Looks slick!

How is your narrative for someone who claims they haven’t been in the park for almost two months? How would you have an accurate idea of what’s open and what’s not if you're not even around? It’s easy to cherry pick what you need to fit your arguments, whether they be true or not. Notice, no one mentioned you by name, blog, YouTube channel, podcast, or whatever. But you felt the need to make it about your own opinion, regardless. Is this about the reality of the situation or about your ill will toward the park for personal reasons? Personally, my life doesn’t rely on the food and beverage situation at the park for better or worse, especially if I haven’t visited in “59 days.” I’ve never been one to mince words or hide any criticisms when it comes to the park experience and how things are. I’d even argue that I can be overtly vocal about said criticisms, to a fault. But this vendetta you’ve got going on is just silly. Even within this thread, I’ve joked about the consistent closures of other drink stands in the park. I‘m a realist. And this isn’t that serious. But I’m not going to sit on the sidelines and claim the sky is falling when I’m not even visiting the park regularly. Mostly because I have enough going on in my life, otherwise, to let this affect me. But more importantly, I like to enjoy the things I enjoy, and have a greater understanding of what’s actually important in the grand scheme of life as a whole. Makes me a happier person, and more enjoyable to be around. Just a bad look, all around. This is coming from a fan and regular listener of Tower Topics and an email subscriber of your blog. Dude, there are more important things in life. Plenty to be upset about. Really. The drink stands can open and close day to day. The ice situation is what it is. But by and large, these issues are being exaggerated for personal reasons alone. Be critical when it’s constructive to be. But to harp on this over and over again is just miserable. It’s not that serious. Chill.

Tower Drinks was open yesterday, with ice, regardless of what narrative anyone would like to subscribe to.

A sign that it will probably be closed next time I’m there.
