Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
Six Flags set the tone with off season ride closures and now other parks are following suit:

What’s your favorite Restroom?
The restroom next to the VIP lounge at Kings Island, though often busy and not the cleanest due to its proximity to the trash compactor, still has its practical merits. Its central location makes it a convenient option for guests in the area, especially if other restrooms are further away or packed. For someone like Don Helbig, who famously marathoned The Racer, it would have been a quick and accessible stop between laps, despite the less-than-ideal surroundings. While it may not be the most pristine or peaceful restroom in the park, its convenience and accessibility make it a reliable choice when in a pinch.

The park should put a log flume in The Vortex plot.

Soak City 2025 Construction Updates
Got shown an ad from KI on YouTube. River Racers looks a lot different from what I remember being unveiled:

Lay offs have now affected Carowinds: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article299317534.html- No Winterfest for 2025 ??
Add two coasters to the Winterfest lineup and you get results:- No Winterfest for 2025 ??
I agree. Having visited both KD’s Winterfest and BGW’s Christmas Town it was obvious. The park with the most coasters operating drew a larger crowd. That was 2023, and in 2024 what did KD do to level the playing field with BGW’s Christmas Town? Nothing.- Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
As of today, Diamondback is prepped and ready for some ads. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Gv7CqVWsuAkdkEzLfKiJZaF9kGD7HGvh3qQyAhmDwKzX***BVVmieAzZeuGkmovTl&id=100064730913995- Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
It appears KD isn’t the only park issuing layoffs: https://www.screamscape.com/html/legoland_florida.htm#general- An apparent “leak” suggesting Kingda Ka is getting the axe
Ka’s fate was likely sealed with the TT2 fiasco. So in a sense yes, it’s Cedar Point’s fault.- Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
PayScale differences aside. I've always respected managers who were willing to "get into the trenches" as you could call it, with their subordinates. There are plenty of managers who find the work of their subordinates beneath them and do nothing to help out.- The Amusement Park Railroad Thread
Dollywood has sold the Engine that has sat on the parkway for years: https://www.facebook.com/100047356655459/posts/pfbid02ccYykBxeYDmX9Ws9XtTpizrXEYwanCkWGRXoiG5Quq4ycLZKtBYbenqoGqgf4x5Xl/?- Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
The 2026 attraction could be just a new Vekoma train for Woodstock Air Rail. Here is a picture of the train clearance envelope that was sitting out during this past Winterfest:- Cedar Point releases 2025 calendar with some pretty major differences
These cheap $150 gold passes are starting to rear its ugly head.- The Amusement Park Railroad Thread
It was replaced with an all electric replica by Chance Rides: https://www.chancerides.com/electric_cphuntington_train/- The Amusement Park Railroad Thread

It appears the steam locomotive from Knotts Berry Farm will be going on sale soon: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/152nFPQx8K/?- Report: Dollywood working on a year-round offering
Dollywood unveil’s a new, cheaper, pass for East Tennessees residents called the Volunteer Summer Pass: https://www.dollywood.com/tickets/season-passes/- Starbucks now requires a purchase
If that policy is implemented at KI there won't be any seating available to sit and eat at G&G because the people who hang out at Starbucks will just move next door...- Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
Yep, and Six Flags has kept the season pass prices incredibly cheap.- Kentucky Kingdom
I disagree. Removing attractions quietly and not allowing people to get final rides in should not be normalized. Regardless of if it was done by Six Flags, Kentucky Kingdom or Disney. Hopefully this doesn't become the new normal, now that both Six Flags and HFE have done this... - Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
