Just out of curiosity, does acquiring Six Flags give the new Six Flags access to any non-DC and non-Looney Tunes IPs from WB?

Something is Surfacing 9-19-2024

^Or the flying coaster that has an underwater tunnel in Lake Erie. -
As we saw with the rest of SOB that they only demolished when it was time to build Banshee, I think they'll get to it if/when they have a plan for it. I don't think its anywhere near old enough to demolish due to structure fatigue quite yet.

I prefer The Vortex plot stay Coney Mall. The way the path is set up, something big at the end feels kind of highlighted by the rest of the area kind of leading up to it.

You really expect this PR staff to be that thorough through a supposed 5 year teaser for a theoretical RMC when they can't even get a kid's area properly advertised? Clearly, someone is too used to Don being at the helm.

I worked food back in 2004 (RT Potato Works), and I was trained on food prep before anything with register (I know this was under Paramount, but it seems logical to expect similar training as I had that at Skyline as well). Register takes a little time to pick up due to knowing how all the buttons work, but it's something that you'll get down with practice. I think the more challenging aspect of register is guest interaction over the actual machine.

To clarify, the upper body restraints on B&M flyers aren't bad, it's the leg restraints that ruin it for me with them. I'm also kind of reserving judgement on B&M flyers until I ride the bigger ones like Manta or Tatsu.

I like the flying coaster concept and I think Vekoma pulled off the 'seats' better than B&M, though B&M's load faster (at least only going by Firehawk, Nighthawk and Superman at NJFTP). It was a unique ride at Kings Island and I think I liked it more than most. However, talking to a few maintenance workers I've come across, it was a bit of a maintenance nightmare, particularly when it came to its computer system.

Top Thrill 2 and Fastlane

So I have a question regarding trains in a hypothetical situation. Would it be feasible for Zamperla to take off the parts of TTD's old trains that were meant to attach it to the hydraulic launch and replace them with the parts needed for the magnetic launch? Then just refurb the rest of the train since they're known to be able to handle the stresses of the layout? -
About Beast 2.0- Beast is my favorite ride in the park, but does anyone really want to be on any wooden coaster for 8+ minutes?

RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025

Nope, I stand by cratered. Reds attendance lowest mark in Great American Ball Park history (cincinnati.com) -
I will be fair to Intamin when they do good, and they pulled off winners with VelociCoaster and Pantheon, I've seen them have success overseas recently, and I will be watching the SFNE 2025 coaster to see how well that does. I am choosing to hold Falcon's Flight as an outlier since that's on the realm of insanity, but I've seen their more practical rides do well recently. If Intamin can show improvements in reliability, I would be open to them putting in something for KI.
