Im very skeptical. However if The Bat happens to be removed, apologies Schell be in order.

I wonder how the Schell they got that info?

It appears that Chad Showalter was promoted to one of those Regional Manager positions for the Midwest region: Congrats Chad! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/grace-peacock_this-week-the-new-six-flags-entertainment-activity-7273532791475118081-JSCi

I agree, and the demand created from that scarcity of a soon to be retired ride would attracts folks to come to the park. Therefore it would warrant transparency. Maybe they don’t want to sell tickets?

I personally like how the "newish" user comes in and writes a thesis on how they think the TOS suck. As if they were a long time member here, or are they? Schell if I know.

There is a whistleblower thread still here claiming about things KI PR did / didn't do during the Banshee incident. So, I wouldn't say KI PR was a factor as far as putting pressure on KIC to having The Bat thread removed. The issue with The Bat removal thread is that it is presented in the context of its removal being fact. Yet, there isn't any indication of removal. No markers, no heavy machinery present, literally no activity that would indicate something going on other than routine end of season maintenance. At least the Congo Falls speculation thread has photos of activity with some of signage missing:

Does anyone know where I can find these cups at? I’ve only seen them in a different style.

Ride clearance envelope seen underneath Woodstock’s Air Rail. Could it be getting new trains next season?

Nighthawk was always a rough ride IMO.

I think it’s time to give these the “WooHoo!” Sticker.

So is there going to be a NYE party at the International Restaurant or are we shutting it down at 10pm???

Christmas Turkey Sandwich from the Brewhouse. It was good however a bit over cooked or the oil needs changed:

09/28/24 will always be the day the park got rid of the master of dispatching.. RIP. 07/27/16 - 09/28/24

More demo / work being done at Timberwolf Theatre:

Just based off personal experience visiting two competing parks that are only an hour away from each other. The park with the most rides / coasters running had a higher attendance. Here is a trip report from visiting both KD’s Winterfest and BGW’s Christmas Town:

The double helix on The Beast. What I love about wooden coasters is that each ride feels slightly different from the last!

There was a survey marker spotted near the exit of Boo Blasters earlier this season:

Great photo!

On a serious note, trying to further decode 2026. I don’t think we will be getting a coaster at all. For one, coaster is omitted from the list of park additions amongst all the parks within the chain: Also Ride Entertainment Systems and Zamperla was listed in the commencement of work. So I’m guessing we’d get a flat thrill ride from their lineup? https://rideentertainment.com/sales-home/ https://www.zamperla.com

A family launch coaster across from a family launch coaster (Backlot) will go well with our pair of B&M hypers.

It is confirmed she got the job via her new title on X: https://x.com/zpop7 Congratulations Elizabeth!

I heard rumor today that KI’s very own Elizabeth Nadeau was promoted to a digital marketing position in the Midwest region. She will oversee KI as well as WoF.
