It will be interesting to see what they come up with. The wording in the announcement suggests they may augment the existing coaster ("as you know it" and "Our team is hard at work, creating a new and reimagined ride experience.”) A change in launch technology to something more reliable would...

I noticed a lot of enthusiasts slamming the new CEO. The strategy is, IMO, a good one. But perhaps other aspects of operations have not been executed well. Amusement park passes are DIRT cheap for what you get (recouping a pass cost in only 2+ visits). A lot of entitlement despite bottom dollar...

This is a really bad look for El Toro, two years in a row with rider injuries due to an issue with a train in motion. We'll have to wait for more details to see what the issue was.

Only thing I'm itching for is more big rides on the road and gravel. Skiing ain't even on my mind. Though, my jacket has a broken zipper, so I should probably think about replacing that at some point. I'll check in again when the snow tires go on at the end of October. Though, I'll still be...

Flashback certainly rides like it has been around a long time and had a few relocations. I'm not a fan of boomerangs, but that one is particularly dreadful. Darien Lake's boomerang is probably the best one I've been on, that one actually rides really well! Dating myself a bit, but I rode Black...

Yea, I wish that worked for me. But, alas, my long legs throw a safety fault if the bar isn't full on pinned. Basically, I self staple and then they ram it down just a bit more during the check.

Looks like a nice day. I agree, the BBQ place is nice. I am glad to see parks step up their food game (more so at Cedar Fair parks, less so at Six Flags... but at least SF is taking small steps forward). I am happy to pay more to get quality food at a park (though, the BBQ prices are quite...

I haven't been to Great Escape since I was really young, 10 or so maybe? I can't see myself ever getting back there. Funny Bobsled story from Cedar Point circa 2006 or so... We were near the front of the park and it started to pour. I had not been on Disaster Transport (similar Intamin bobsled...

Make sure you check out minimum residency year requirements if you are looking for in state rates. Not sure about SUNY specifically, but some state colleges require primary residence be established X amount of years before being able to get in state tuition. My partner got nailed with this when...

I never use cruise control. I can always get better MPG than the cruise (with many different makes/models). Until cruise is smart enough to incorporate terrain and over/under shoot the set cruise speed to be most efficient, I don't see that changing. Folks with a led foot that don't drive to the...

For sustained... it is probably the first turn on Intimidator 305 at King's Dominion. It is a guaranteed gray out for most riders. Probably a sustained +4Gs? A lot of coasters have a short peak of G forces, I305's is long and sustained. Due to complaints from guests after it opened, the park...

Good riddens to it. I rode Rolling Thunder pretty to close its end of life, it was one of the only times that I have been legit scared on a rollercoaster. The thing felt like it was going to shake itself apart and derail. I'd rather ride Predator at Darien Lake than have had to take another ride...

That is the risk people take when they tie themselves to one particular area. I cannot imagine this scenario because I would never tie myself to a specific mountain and move there. There is more to life than skiing (unless almost all of your social network is at one mountain). Where we choose...

MRG is not opening this weekend, they are done.

They have the numbers. They know how many pass holders vs. day trippers show up on a powder day. Pass holders shouldn't be limited on powder days. That makes no sense. If you paid for a pass, you should get to use your pass on any applicable days. Blackout some passes for peak periods. But a...

Yea, unload Bonnie, ski straight ahead, then herringbone to Wedelmaster. No need to take off your skis. As far as the vert of the hike, I have no idea. I only made that mistake once. :)

For what it is worth, Jay was nice last weekend. Just a bit of light untracked blower over a decent early season base. Not sure how it looks right now. But it was just better than early season low tide in the woods last weekend. I was there because it was one of the few places I could actually...

Jet has been off and on for a few weeks now due to maintenance. A month or so ago, it was banging and clanging, so they started loading every third chair for a while. Not sure if it is something that they can fix during the off season or if it is a major issue. The Bonnie breakdown was cold/ice...

It's not worth it to hike to the Flyer. Herringbone with skis on up to Wedelmaster. That flats out to JFK, Alligator (for Everglade and Staircase), Ullr's, Beaver, and Andre's (you only miss Upper Ullr's and Poma Line). I use it to get to Tramside trees while avoiding riding the Freezer. Gotta...

When do those discount code emails go out to current pass holders? Any current pass holders get one yet?
