AF1 has inversions so crazy, they even effect phone cameras!

"Mack Rides" is usually pronounced "Mock Rides" because they are German, and it's the natural pronunciation for them. It's usually how I hear it pronounced in enthusiast videos, and it's the same pronunciation early on in their own video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIdJtQ3dMtw

No one is 100% sure but links to Enchanted Parks' website briefly re-routed to the website for the owners of Enchanted Forest Water Safari, whose name I forget right now, and who have said they're looking to acquire more water parks. It's looking like that company is at least in talks to...

I'm thinking, either they just haven't trademarked the dry parks yet, or SF is only selling the waterpark portions. Enchanted parks seems much more interested in water parks, and yeah it's a weird deal but SF is desperate for cash right now.

Are these even the same project? I can't find reference to Romania or the park's location in HandsupPantsdown's post (except mentioning that Dracula is Romanian), and there is a world of difference between a 64M Euro budget, and a 1B Euro budget. That's like comparing Lost Island to Epic Universe.

Did you mean testing, not resting? o.o

We *may* see one of these pop up soon... https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/1nw3uzr/everland_looks_like_that_rmc_giga_was_designed/

Unless they were talking about "traveled track" because it's a shuttle coaster and you traverse the track twice ;)

I had the same thought; that 2026 will actually bring a new indoor structure with at least 2 attractions, like a mini FEC inside of Wildwood Grove.

I will say, it sounds like this was not a decision from any "new" owners, but from the current ones. No sale has been finalized. I feel it's possible the current owners just need a rapid influx of cash to relocate the animals, and could assuage any fears from the buyers by bumping the price down...

Am I crazy for not thinking this is a death knell for this property being used as an amusement park? Aside from a flat in 2010 and a flat in 2022, all of those rides are decades old. The current owners need money to relocate the animals so that new owners will go through with the sale, and...

https://www.sixflags.com/pass-perks There's a new pass perks system that is only valid at certain legacy Six Flags parks. Does not include: Darien Lake, Great Escape, La Ronde, St Louis, Frontier City... or SF America. Considering that one of those parks was just announced to be in its final...

I'd rather Darien Lake get a better frisbee than this, sure, but Manitou would still be better than the zero new rides DL is getting

SF announced that it would "sell some of its non core parks under the right circumstances". They didn't say "Oh, yes, we are DEFINITELY selling every single park except the absolute highest earners". Great Escape by all accounts does very well for its market. It doesn't need "saving". Likewise...

Didn't a maintenance worker die near it recently?
