Some things I expect to see happen with John Reilly as CEO are ticket and season pass prices being raised, a stronger focus on customer service, and less regionalization with departments. It will eventually get back to the way it was and should be with more boots on the ground at the park level.
All that sounds great! I hope your are correct.

Updated mobile apps across the chain.
- I'm greatly hoping for individual park apps instead of one giant Six Flags app.
Not me. Less apps on my phone the better. Open one app, pick the SIX park I am visiting, and get all the info I need. Simplify it.

The Saturday before regular season close I heard so many people saying, let's go ride The Beast. Oops!

I'm still holding out for the official release of the 2026 operating calendar and the Festival Events schedule, but as I said before, this is more than we knew about by this time last year.
At least we know how Tony operates, and can trust the info that is posted.

It would make more sense to run these polls while events are happening.
I have never understood the timing of these USA Today polls.

Anyway, thanks for the update and picture!
I tried really hard to get a good picture. If you try to pay attention on Diamondback, especially near the top of the lift. You can see it fairly well. I think I underestimated the size of the track missing. I think it's closer to 15 to 20 ft. From what I saw riding Diamondback.

Just got off Windseeker and can confirm that part of the track going down the 2nd lift drop is totally gone. Where the new prefab track was used a few years ago for the helix, it starts and goes back towards the lift. There is about a 7 to 10 ft section removed, and a crane is back there.
Here is a representation of the track section gone. There is no way to get a picture of the missing track on the ground that I have found.

Here’s a piece I wrote for the Sandusky Register. It won’t win a Pulitzer but I think it captures the spirit of the thing.

I really thought after I rode both of those that you and @IBEW_Sparky would really enjoy these 2 coasters and was really hoping to hear your thoughts. You put that TR down perfectly with how I feel about them as well. I will say, I like SC a little bit better over TT2. The onboard audio really tilts it over the edge for me. Pun intended! I am so glad you enjoyed them both.
