Huh. I've never noticed that gate on the exit path fence before. Is that from when they had a Haunt maze running through there?

It's called a simple typo.

Say what now? Paramount and CBS were both owned by Viacom until 2005, when they split the company so Viacom and CBS were their own entities. Paramount and the cable networks stayed with Viacom, while the Paramount Parks division was placed as part of CBS. CBS then sold Paramount Parks to Cedar Fair in 2006. In 2019 CBS and Viacom merged back together as ViacomCBS, and is now known as Paramount Global. CBS All Access expanded and became Paramount+ after this happened.

The track is removed but the bents themselves are relocated.

I hope they get back to Diamondback's repaint soon, I know Baynum is currently working on a VERY large structure at Cedar Point, but I really don't want to end up having the weather get too cold to complete it during this season...

For capacity it would be nice if, in the event they upgrade the trains on Flying Ace, they got two of them. For a full circuit coaster of that size, the one-train operation is brutal.

Well they're correct on the drop.

I was seeing Planet Snoopy, Kings Island and Vekoma in my trending list this afternoon. Edit: Seeing Kings Island in trending right now.

There hasn't been a proper playground area since McScrappy's Farm got taken out. The old Splat City had both a climbing structure (FAAC is on that site now) and the water maze, but those were more "active" things.

It’s such a misuse of Showplace. Put Showplace back to how it was and have the main summer music show and a proper Haunt show on the lines of Dead Awakening or Hot Blooded back there again, and find somewhere to set up temporary venues for the bike shows.

Regarding Planet Snoopy, a little while back someone said a Camp Snoopy conversion could be the end of the Snoopy Boutique shop in the old skyride station. I disagree, that building is perfectly fine. Personally, if anything current aside from the amphitheater is in the way of improvements, it’s Woodstock Whirlybirds. The station and queue structure takes up a good amount of space, and the track and support columns cause both height clearance and ground interference around the entire route. The capacity isn’t great and it’s just kind of in the way around the main core of the area.

Is this finally the end for the remnants of the failed Intamin flume ride?

Looks like a transportable model of the ride, I guess the operators don't know the carnival trick of walking around back and unplugging it.

Well I was wrong, good thing I'm not into betting! I guess they figure Dragster was the most commonly known part of the name, so Top Thrill 2 for two towers works out?

I fully expect the name is a placeholder, and that's interesting regarding the stats. The speed of the reverse launch that's listed certainly wouldn't require a 420-foot spike... It's obviously an incomplete placeholder page, all the images were generic stock photos, and again Top Thrill 2 would be like Son of Beast.

Remember B&M and SkyHigh on the contractor list? If Flying Ace gets replaced, there's also this option: https://bolliger-mabillard.com/product/family-coaster

It's happened to me twice, both times resulting in the phone getting tossed out the side of the train somehow. In 2002, my Nokia 3285 somehow got out of my front pocket on Beast and they found it in the dirt, minus the battery pack, the next morning. Being a Nokia it still worked fine despite having hit something sufficient to knock the battery off into the unknown, never to be found. All it needed was a new battery pack. In 2010 I had a Samsung Alias 2, normally I had it in a holster case but of course that particular day I forgot the case and it was in my front pocket, after getting off Diamondback I reached for my phone while walking into the exit shop and it wasn't there. Went back to the station, wasn't there. Filled out a form but it was never found, best guess was it happened during the helix to the midcourse brakes and got hurled off into the woods because it continued to ring when called for a while afterward, so it was working but apparently somewhere that isn't checked. In both instances, I had absolutely no idea it had happened until sometime after the ride. Both times were in my front pocket with my wallet but only the phone was somehow lost. Like @DoomPlague said, usually when sitting my front pockets are, or at least should be, too tight for either of those situations to have happened, but somehow they still did. Ever since the second time, I always use either a belt holster or a secured cargo pocket. With Diamondback's seat and restraint design, I can see how it happened, but Beast confuses me to this day.

Mine is around here somewhere, it's actually really nice for a freebie.

I know the subject is a dead horse but I’d be okay with a clear-the-park method if it was being done to uncover and set up the edgier theming and whatnot. I miss the more “adult” version that Haunt debuted with in 2007, mazes like Club Blood and shows like Dead Awakening and Hot Blooded.

The last time I saw a coaster train on the pavement like that without the transport frame was the third X-Flight train in Geauga’s parking lot during the relocation, that train was used for spare parts and never ran again. It’s possible a third-party inspection of the trains has been requested as part of the lawsuit, so the vehicles were brought out to a more accessible location.

Yeah, it seemed like a sketchy concept for a while, 500' lift up on top of the cliff? Second hill higher than Kingda Ka? But now they're actually installing track based on ground level and lifting equipment up onto the cliff. But, regarding Dragster, I think Tony is just doing Tony things. The track that was taken off Dragster was sent to the Port of Genoa in Italy, and has now returned from there after modifications and painting, in addition to a bunch of new steel. It's obviously not proof that Intamin isn't involved, but considering CF's relations with Intamin ever since the i305 problems and the flume ride at CP being a total failure, I still think we're looking at a Zamperla project.

RCDB hasn't listed it yet but there are photos of construction underway, with white Intamin track. https://www.themeparx.com/six-flags-qiddiya-saudi-arabia/

They're just sitting on their wheels, not even in the usual frames. They had previously been back by a maintenance shop during Winter Chill Out, I HIGHLY doubt those are getting used again. Maybe they had to be brought out for inspection as part of the lawsuit.

I wouldn't say no to a Manta-style B&M flyer, either as part of an Area 72 expansion or maybe even in Vortex's plot.

The white track could be part of Intamin's Falcon's Flight at Six Flags Qiddiya, it's currently under construction.
