    Reservation system at Six Flags effect on Flash Pass

    Even with virtual queues fast passes are just as viable as they always were - everything in the park would reduce proportionally, so guests with fast pass would still wait 50% less than the regular queue or whatever. Standby lines may move even more horrendously slowly than if there were no...

    I imagine that is what they’re aiming for...

    CANCELLED - Unfinnished Business | FINLAND |24th - 26th Jul 2020

    Norwegian have been struggling for a while so there’s probably quite a highly probability there won’t be an opportunity to use a voucher they offer unfortunately.

    CANCELLED - Unfinnished Business | FINLAND |24th - 26th Jul 2020

    I booked with Finnair and last time I checked their covid policy covered flight up until 30th June, so I’m in wait and see mode. Personally I’d hold out rather than voluntarily choose a voucher. This whole situation is unprecedented and we just don’t know when we’ll be able to travel again and...

    M&D's Theme Park goes into Administration

    It’s a pretty common move for struggling businesses to make, morally questionable perhaps, but allows them to wipe the slate clean rather than struggling on trying to recover from previous issues. I suppose the move means the underlying business was reasonable enough despite the park having a...

    Correct way to pronounce "Candymonium"

    Can-Dee-monium. Obviously. Why would you randomly add an a into the middle? Canda isn’t even a word!

    Theme Park Tours

    Are you sure you’re not Airtime tours ? this sounds very very similar... Anywho, The US isn’t the easiest place to do a park trip without a car, and ACE, RCCGB etc tend to skew to an older demographic, so sure there could be a market for a tours for those that are perhaps a bit younger, where...

    Six Flags St. Louis 2021 Raptor Plans

    As much as I’d love to see this, given SF are aggressively cutting spending to improve their liquidity then I think these plans will be shelved. Hopefully just temporarily as I think a Raptor would be a great addition for the park. Six Flags April 8 press release:

    Coasters that you want to like, but don't

    Maverick A beyond vertical drop, launches, inversions, Intamin! On paper it ticks all the boxes and everybody else seems to love it. But I just don’t. I find the transitions between elements to be too quick and jerky, which combined with the vile restraints really detract from the ride...

    Ooh it’s a close vote! I voted Hype, not only as I think Hype would be the more enjoyable of the 2, I think it’s also the most efficient use of time - it’s lower capacity so all being equal would have a longer wait that Tornado. An hours ERT for a group of 30 or so will still give us all...

    Working ride op abroad? Experiences?

    I’ve done it at few parks and it’s always been fab! Highly highly recommend doing it if you’re interested. Have a google of work america and look on the theme parks of particular interest to get started. Some/ most of the visa schemes have job fairs/contacts with US employers which include a...

    Flash Pass - Six Flags Great Adventure

    They just want you to leave something so that you have an incentive to return the device. They’ll take you’re driving licience no issue (and personally I wouldn’t want to leave something as important as a passport with them). Once I didn’t have my driving licience on me and they suggested...

    How many days per park?

    I think that’s a solid plan ? If you wanted to, you could do Dollywood between Kings Island and Carowinds, great park and breaks up the journey.

    How many days per park?

    You could easily do all those parks in a day each if you’re only focusing on the major coasters, avoiding Saturdays and you should everything in a single day at those parks. Thing with Cedar Point is that it’s right on the lake so more prone to weather shutdowns than the average Park. So...

    CF-Lives 2020 | All Dates Announced!

    That’s looking like a great, varied line up! I already have a bigger trip planned over Easter so won’t be at Liseberg, but interested in all the other U.K./Europe ones. Tempted to do the East Coast and then directly onto Finland. Is anyone else thinking of doing the same?

    Intamin OTSRs; like them or loathe them?

    Loath these restraints, the gel padding was a great improvement, but the mid thigh bar is still too thin to disperse the impact and it ruins what could otherwise be great rides, I don’t particularly enjoy Maverick and it’s solely due to the restraints. I love the Intamin T-Bars and I get they...

    Cedar Fair Investing Around 140 Million In 2020

    I’ve heard rumours of Wicked Twister getting relocated to GCA. Sounds plausible given that CP knocked down that stadium, so removing wicked Twister gives them a bigger plot of land to play with for their next addition. Plus at CP it’s a forgotten middle child, but could maybe be a top 3...

    What is your bucket list coaster for each continent?

    Europe: Zadra looks incredible! North America: Lightning Rod - it look a great, Ive heard great things. The fact it spited me last year just makes me want it even more! South America : shall also play dumb and say Medusa at SF Mexico. While not a specific coaster I do have a bucket list...
