Sure there is. You can put your money where your mouth/fingers are and revoke your season pass only to never return. Anything else is supporting The Beast you purport that you hate.

Looks like there are still tickets available 91 minutes after they went on sale.

You love your saloons, bars and media personalities!

OOOOHHHH, a bar and a toilet combined into one place!

I'mThis will be the first Coasterstock I've missed. I am stepping away from Six Flags for a season to refresh and renew my perspective. There's been so much negativity since 2022's season end. The only caveat is I am trying to decide if I want to go to the ACE Spring Conference. I love Kings Dominion and BGW.

They are wanting to appeal to families. Storm Chaser was an enthusiast coaster. I'd conjecture they are wanting Wind Chaser and Woodland Run to appear less intimidating and more family friendly as they are integrated into the reimagined land. They want to make money off of their investment at Kentucky Kingdom. Families are lucrative. Enthusiasts may be lucrative as individuals, but as a cohort, they are like grains of sand on a beach.

The company doesn't own it. Saleem Bafoon has orchestrated the contract for SFEC to manage/ operate it. My conjecture is that as the park nears completion, the entities that own it realized that they needed help and Bafoon stepped in. Prior to this announcement, the owners had merely licensed the Six Flags name and would use the company as a consultant.

I understand why CP would do that, but KK is 60 acres and CP is 350 acres. It will probably all make sense when they renovate the front if the park, looks like there is going to be lots of space opening up there.

I don't understand why the are adding another one of these. They have a frog hopper in King Louie's Playground. Why didn't they just move it over to the new section?

They still have lights on trees by The Racer, half a tree near Mystic Timbers plaza, and it appears various bushes. The Coney Elf Village LED tree is still it, but that's usually one of the last visible items to go.

Exactly. At that point they would have to make a decision based on rational thought...which seems to be absent in New Six Flags. FoF is an anchor in Area 72, one could argue that it the entire reason is what it is today. My point was that it's alot easier to take out SlingShot than a huge ride like FoF. Unless it has major expensive upgrades to continue to operate, it should have several more years left in it. Kings Dominion's version is apparently being painted ( exterior) so they'd want a few years left on it as well to maximize the benefit. I've been wrong before, though. I would not have expected Kingda Ka to get removed. I would not expected Anaconda or Drop Tower to get removed either. I think it's a travesty that these rides were removed without proper send offs. SlingShot is the only ride that I can think of at Kings Island that was removed silently, if I am remembering correctly.

Huge difference in Slingshot and a rollercoaster, however.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 shoots and scores with the John Mattress reference!!!!

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?
