Former head of PR at Cedar Point https://x.com/TonyClarkCP

Tony Clark has supposedly quit. Word is that he was offered a new position but decided to leave. Bad news for some, good news for others.🤷‍♀️

It was around 2:30 pm on Friday, so he was there well before you left.

The furthest I've traveled to visit a park is 5,100 miles (8,200 kilometers) from NYC to Santiago, Chile, for Fantasilandia. Will need to do it again to see its new location in 2028.

The world's first Skyloop attraction (not roller coaster) opened on Steinhuder Lake in Mardorf (near Hannover), Germany. The 40 meter (131 feet) structure has a huge slide, zipline, and a 30 meter (98 feet) tall base jump on offer...

SooperDooperLooper at Hersheypark will close after Labor Day for the rest of the season to build a new boarding station celebrating 50 years of operation. Source

I wish a park would do the same with one of the two defunct Miler Wild Mouse coasters. Those babies are insane and are worth the trip to Wonderland and Lakeside, but we need another one restored.

Although David was first to post, let's keep the conversation of the coaster type here, and the Forbidden Lair discussion should continue here: https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/lost-island-forbidden-lair-rmc-wild-moose-2027.47964/

Can't imagine spending that kind of money on anything other than a replacement. I can even see the park closing Viper at the same time to bring in a "record-breaking" coaster, like at Great Adventure, where Bakunawa replaced Kingda Ka and Green Lantern. X2's days are numbered, and I hope the...

Can't believe you sat in front of me without saying a thing. And Saturday was much better than Friday.

I thought I would add a bit to the conversation since I'm finally back home after nearly eight weeks on the road. I headed to Atlanta the day after I got home from my 14-game, 11-city, six-week World Cup stint to marathon the coaster with Joe Draves. The first few days were relatively quiet...

Correct! Thus, all the talk at the ACE event for ArieForce One on Sunday. On a lighter note - Those wanting to eat chicken cooked on a miniature roller coaster will have to look elsewhere. The viral 'Chicken Amusement Park’ food stand at the Khareef Dhofar festival in Oman was closed due to...

Over the weekend, I was at Fun Spot America Atlanta, where all the talk was of Texas Tornado at Wonderland in Amarillo derailing (in addition to the park closing, of course), but I couldn't find posts about it here. It happened on Saturday, and no one was injured, but that's two derailments in a...

Argentine group Fenix Entertainment will take over the park, as its original parent company, which founded it in 1974, navigates bankruptcy proceedings. The park will remain closed for the next two months to prepare for reopening in October, with about half the attractions operational. The park...

Double post Yay! The Yanky Wave Twister, manufactured by Ride Engineers Switzerland, at Adventureland in Farmingdale on Long Island, New York, will remain down for the foreseeable future. The park cannot determine what caused the ride to halt mid-run, stranding passengers for hours while they...

Maurer is at it again with two new Spike coasters - the Spike Train and the Spike Tandem. I'm not going into the details, but you can read all about them here.

Really? :rolleyes:

Verbolten, which has been closed since January for a revamp, will reopen as “Verbolten: Forbidden Turn” on May 30th. The updated attraction features a new storyline, animatronics, and immersive special effects. Busch Gardens members will receive early access May 29th, before the grand opening...

So this is apparently a thing. It's set to be in Nashville, the comedian and actor's hometown, but the address of the future 100-acre site has not been announced. The overall cost to undertake the project is approximately $350 million. A Wall Street Journal report says Nateland will be "divided...

Gold Reef City in Johannesburg is closed until further notice as employees at the South African park strike for a second week. The facility cites safety concerns as the reason for the theme park's closure, while the casino remains open with limited operations. Source
