I'm still surprised that shooting rides are designed for children in light of gun violence.

That looks much better than the built version. Lots of overbanking. Do you know why they modified from this design, @gforce1994?

Of course it's fake! Six Flags makes changes and doesn't inform anyone. This skillfully crafted meme does the complete opposite! Thanks for the chuckle, @Tr0y

I think the coaster itself would be fun, but I'd worry about capacity. Also, no bright lighting package there. I think a better spot would be at the front of the park where Invertigo is. Hangtime replaced a boomerang.

It did! Thank you. Just devasting news recently. I appreciate your perspective.

@DonHelbig...in light of WinterFest being canceled at Kings Dominion: if you worked there, how would you respond to media inquiries and customer complaints on social media about this?

It seemed that they were going to invest in Kings Dominion for the long term and elevate it back to a top tier park. That now seems to not be the case. Is it the new world's of fun?

You seem bitter

Extensive events lineup slated for Kings Dominion’s Golden Anniversary in 2025 « Amusement Today Everything but Winterfest is listed here.

I'd guess this is one or both shoppes at the front gate. If they are spending almost half a million dollars, it sounds like significant reno. Truthfully, they need to so this to Germany and Italy. Switzerland has been redone with Grain and Grill and Starbux, Spain has been redone with Sweet Spot, France had a light remodel with The French (Cajun) Corner Bar and Bistro and Worlds Greatest Funnel Cakes.

Which Hershey co sponsors Snowflake Lake with Kroger?

My theory is that maybe they wanted to try it at Kings Island and see the reaction. Then move it to the other parks. But Paramount happened. As for the present, it's an IP that Six Flags owns. Ki has the nostalgia factor that other parks don't, but if it were put in, I'm sure people would love it. Remember, when Phantom Theater was put in, it was replacing two rides that generations grew up with. So it has to overcome those nostalgia pieces. It's still beloved by many this day. I'm sure it would repeat at other parks.

Another laid-off employee who asked to remain anonymous said they believed the layoffs were company wide and impacted closer to 80 Kings Dominion workers. "We were called to be in a meeting that would take place five minutes later. We were given a brief speech about how appreciated we were and then handed our papers. We were told to turn in our badges and collect our items," that worker shared. "As we collected our items and ourselves, mangers remained in the room reminding us we had to leave and could not take long. It was very emotional for everyone involved but the lack of empathy from management was the worst. They knew about this decision at least a week prior and still decided to blindside everyone." Kings Dominion layoffs: 'This has caused panic'

You seem bitter.

The way the company is going, might as well put a Spirit Halloween ad on too!

Further eroding the guest experience. Not just with the reduced staff and the problems that will cause, but with the affect on morale of remaining staff.

Absolutely not.

Thanks! I'm not a water park person, but I think it will be a decent addition for the water park crowd. Keeps them out of The Beast line

As an engineer, what is your opinion of the work so far? Given that it is apples to oranges, so not an ideal comparison, but compared to Orion and Soapbox Racers, would you say it's behind, ahead or about the same? (Remembering that since the waterpark opens a out 5 weeks after the dry park, the "opening day" deadline is in a different timeframe).
