RIP Kumba Edition>Last Thread: >>2892860>What is this thread? Why are there two generals?/rcg/ was initially created as a way for the roller coaster enthusiasts on here to discuss all things roller coasters and theme parks. While roller coasters are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other theme parks, their rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /tpg/ comes in.>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?Absolutely! Disney/Universal discussion of all sorts including rides/resorts/dining/trip planning is OK.General Rules:1. Talk about Theme Parks and/or Rollercoasters.2.

Is AireForce One getting relocated fellas?
>>2897888Whoopsie daisy, maybe next time
>>2897890Some people aren't scared of big thrill rides and like visiting regionals and independents. You never any mention any of those.
>>2897881Thoosies are currently glazing the fuck out of it. I don’t get it. I thought Racer 75 was way better.
>>2897889If it’s as cheap as RMC is claiming it is then definitely. But they have a personal reason to claim this so not sure if it’s true.
>>2897896What figure are they giving
>>289789710 millies less than getting a new one, so $3-8 million.https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/kings-islands-next-big-roller-coaster-may-be-hiding-in-atlanta
Did you know that Brazilians on 4chan are deeply insecure about their countryman's love for Orlando/Disney? This is something I've learned from /int/
>>2897887Yeah you forgot to put /tpg/ /rcg/ in the op retard
>>2897916Blame 4chan not letting me delete the post, also im not the disney guyt. arded op
>>2897887you included news from aireforce one. this is not from a disney or universal park so this has no business being in this post.please do not do that again.

Holiday World is really tapped into what coaster enthusiasts like. They don't already have an RMC, and if they could get a good price on AireForce One, seems like it would be a no brainer to buy it in my opinion.
>>2897921Thank you.It's infuriating when I see people post anything not pertaining to Disney and Universal parks. Why the hell are they in this thread? If they like roller coasters so much, they should start their own general.
First week of August ill be in Florida for work and Orlando will be a 4 hour drive from where I'm staying. Will have the opportunity to do Universal for 2 days. Am I gonna be miserable with the heat and crowds
>>2897925Not that it couldn’t be painted over but the red and blue would go well in the 4th of July section, which is currently lacking. The park needs a top tier steel coaster.
>>2897944You will be miserable from the heat, but thankfully there's a lot of indoor areas that blast AC. Get yourself an all day drink cup and drink constantly. It's very worth it. If you only have two days you might consider looking into Express Passes to make sure you get on everything.
>>2897876Fascinating video on the Catwalk Bar at Disney. Such good times (before liberals). https://youtu.be/uacuQbUCXM0?si=vSM-5YbmnTLQQvro
>>2897908Because everyone learns that their children steal and the adults are entitled. They skip lines, they are the third world. They also pretend to be sick so that they can get the best seats. A nation of assholes. Even liberals hate seeing them.
Threadly reminder that regional parks are great and well worth visiting!
>>2897876Just watched the Trackers. I used to be better looking than Jenn but her cushy life and Ozempic have her looking better than me. They're promoting Studio 99 a lot which looks incredibly boring and will likely fail.
>>2897890lol>>2897893get rekt
Can anyone confirm that you see Cranky if you use Express on the Donkey Kong ride? I'll have Express when I go to Epic Universe but I refuse to miss Cranky. I've loved Donkey Kong since I was a small child. I've played all of the games and I love Cranky. I'd wait for two hours to see him.
>>2898061I don't know. It didn't have Express when I went, so I waited the full 90 mins.
Fun Spot is a park that has to be seen to be believedPeople say a lot of words about it but nothing will prepare you for the first view being a rusting kiddie coaster on grass while Arieforce looms in the background. People who go just to lap AF1 are really missing something because the combo with the sheer jank of the rest of the park is what makes it great for me
>>2898066I didn't ride the janky coasters because I got sick from the tilt-a-whirl first. Rode AF1 though. Really cool ride.
>>2898067>didn't go for the credits firstI bet you have sex too!
>>2898066I never get babby coaster credits but I did ride this because there was no line and no one was looking.
>Announcements for HHN seem good so far.>Wow, they're even opening houses at 2PM, it's gonna be easier than ever to get everything done in one night.>Oh a new scarezone announcement?>FortniteGod fucking damn it.
>>2898068I don't have sex, I just got excited to ride a tilt-a-whirl but I'm too old for them now
>>2898078I can think of some additional platforms I'd like to follow her on
>>2898079Like what? Does she have a twitter?
>Zero complaints about the B&M rattleWhat went so right?
>>2898074>john comcast-sama we have resident evil IP at our disposal let's bring it back to halloween horror nights after running it at vegas' horror unleashed>nah senpai let's bring in FORTNITE insteadebin desu
>>2898081I’ve heard some.
>>2898066Also you don't have to pay for parking, at least today
>>2898081I’m so glad they’re leaving America. Now we can finally start getting all the new Mack and Vekoma models we’ve been missing out on instead of dive coaster #3826372515.
>>2898095>Mack and VekomaThose are made in Europe too
>>2898095Everybody thinks Carowinds is going to get a dive coaster, but I hope they get something else just because those things are everywhere.
Fury 325 is open again
>>2898103B&M supremacy
>>2898096And now that B&Ms are as well there’s no financial reasons for the poor people chains (Six Flags and United) to collect them anymore. You could get a way better coaster for the same price.
>>2898102That would be surprising. Fury and Copperhead Strike stand out. Hopefully they don’t purchase mediocrity for their next big coaster.
>>2898111People say it would be perfect for the old Nighthawk plot, and honestly it would be, since that's the first thing you see as you walk down the plaza into the park, and visually it would be a good place for one. But there's other kinds of rides that would interest me more.
>>2898112Well, Six Flags is broke for a reason. If they had purchased interesting rides instead of B&Ms they wouldn’t have lost $1.6 billion last year.
>>2897908What's the big draw to Magic Kingdom for Brazilians anyway? I never really understood why they all go there all year long.
>>2898114Flexing on other Brazilians
>>2898114>why do people like disney parks Gee anon I’ve never thought about it before.
>>2898110>Thoosie speculationDiscarded
>2898125t. poor people chain fan
>>2898126Every accusation is a confession etc.
>>2898126He’s the same guy that speculates that the Tormenta is eventually going to not have ugly scenery lel.

SFOG thoughts:Very good park, better than MM imo. Monster Mansion is pure kino, Batman is its most intense and best themed version, and Goliath was my first B&M hyper so I got shocked by how comfy the restraints were.Have heard bad stories about its ops but luckily the park wasn't busy enough for that to matter. I can see how it would be terrible on a weekend though. They liked to banter with each other and riders which is fun when the trains are empty but probably excruciating when there's an actual line
>>2898153Hell yeah, I love Over Georgia. I also went on a non-busy day, and that wasn't an issue except they were only running one train on Goliath. Otherwise I would've ridden it more times. I don't know how common that is. But the park looks really nice and all the coasters are good to great. Really well rounded lineup.
Nice try speculationbro.
>>2898153It is but Magic Mountain is fucking terrible so that isn’t a high bar. It has nothing of note but coasters and chicken wings.
>>2898153Forgot to mention that the Cedar Fair-ification of SFOG is in full swing, Fast Lane everywhere and a ton of signage is in that Cedar Fair font. They're even installing the wait time monitors that other CF parks haveFun thing about Arieforce is that after they close the line they let riders stay on as long as there are still people waiting for the front row. So the legend of being able to do multiple laps without getting off is still true, as long as you're there at the end of the night.
>>2898161>This will fool them
>>2898061You see Cranky but if express line isn't too bad you basically breeze by him
>>2898086I'm a long-time Fortnite enjoyer, and even I think this is pure AIDS.
>>2898074Glad that they confirmed Doctor Oddfellows is involved in more of the mazes than just the vs one. Seemed a bit rubbish if they'd had just a single maze for their big crossover year.
hbd
>>2898295Over Texas looks like a really nice park. Not the most standout coasters, but it looks like it's got an overall solid lineup and the park looks pleasant. Atmosphere really is everything. The park also gets overshadowed by Fiesta Texas but I'd like to visit both. Katie a cute
Is Expedition GeForce really that good?
Big Dipper had a rollback and detailment, fucking up all the wood that serves as a failsafe. Same thing that happened on the Scenic Railway in Margate that ticketmaster used as an excuse to close it for good.
>>2898301It looks really good and I hope to ride it someday. I like the twisting drop, I wish we could get more hypers and gigas with that. That coaster used to be ranked really high among enthusiasts, it's just been overshadowed by so many newer rides considering it's 25 years old.>>2898324Damn. I'm glad everyone looks to be ok. Considering the angles of the cars it seems like it could have been much worse.
>>2898328Almost certainly looks worse than it is. It's designed so that if it does derail like this then the wheels get jammed up in the broken wood in the middle and serve to both stop the train and keep it centred so it doesn't go flying off.
>>2898269Did they? I thought he and Jack just had their house and scarezone. I would love if they were a bit more present, because I think Oddfellow in particular is cool. I thought they'd go all out with the Jack vs. Oddfellow thing, making the other icons take sides, but it really feels like a footnote from what I've seen so far.
>>2898330Ah wait, it's another scarezone. Cindy using oddfellows magic
>>2898295>hbdhow messed up am I that I thought it meant [cash me outside] "How Bout Dat!?"
Thread pro tip for the next op: If you're driving between parks during the day always check what it's like at the park you're headed to. Carowinds closed early for thunderstorms so I could have spent a lot more time at SFOG than I ended up doing
>>2898343You were going to SFOG, driving 4.5 hours to Charlotte, then doing Carowinds in a single day?
>>2898345Yeah, doing the first and last 2 hours of each park. Already got rides on everything I needed to the previous day so it's not that big a deal but still would have been nice to get a bunch more Monster Mansion and Goliath rides in
>biggest feature doesnt work>still mogs every other disney coasterhow?
>>2898431I think Cosmic Rewind is more fun even though the theming isn't as good.
>>2898431Built after Vekoma got good but before Disney got bad
thinkin bout pantheon
went to hershey yesterday. skyrush kinda dissapointed me. the drop was insane and the airtime was all good but it was just so short. yes i rode back left.top 3storm runner (first hydraulic launch i've been on)wild cats revengeskyrush
Why does Carowinds have more rides on one train than SFOG lmao
>>2898431perfect theming with no IP slop
>>2898295you are a cringe simp
>>2898485It's so tragic that Disney refuses to do stuff like this now
Copperhead Strike should count as a form of cock and ball torture
>>2898171Update: No more end-of-night rerides on Arieforce as of tonight
I think the first big project that Enchanted Parks will do with Mid-America, formerly Six Flags St. Louis, is RMCing the Boss.
SFOG would be so good if the slave trade never happened
>Katie only gets attention from shitty soulless par-ACK!
>>2898768she should match the color of her head to the color of the rest of her bodythis looks like a shot from the movie disclosure day
>>2898066hurricane is 10x jankier easily. It's completely covered in rust and shakes well after the ride has stopped
whoever suggested going to atlanta to do SFOG and FunSpot, thank you. The wait for the first ride on AF1 took 2 and a half hours with the storm but I got to skip the first chair line because there was some other solo and my flight home was delayed til after midnight, but it was all worth it
Very strong rumours that Disneyland Paris will be announcing a return of the Journey to the Moon theming (and hopefully a return of the firing canon) at D23.Seems unlikely to me given they've just spent a fortune re-doing the lighting on the ride.
>>2898909Glad you had a good time anon. RIP Funspot, hope some of those coasters are able to find a new home.
>>2898171>>2898586Last Monday one of the ops wanted to let us stay on while the front and back row lines emptied out, but the other one didn’t. Unfortunately the one that didn’t had the controls.
>>2898614Fuck no, I love that coaster.
>>2898431Mogged hard by Guardians, Tron, Hyperspace Mountain and possibly even Space Mountain. Broken ass ride.
>>2898449It’s my #2>>2898451My top 3>Laff Trakk>Wildcat’s Revenge >Candymonium
>>2898936I hope so, that ride is so beautiful, and the Star Wars """theming""" is one of the laziest overlays I've ever seen. Solid coaster though, even with Slop Wars in your face the whole ride
Cornwall coaster in Hansa Parkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usJLQ34lvKULooks moderately fun for a mild family park, even if it has some of the weakest launches I've seen.
>>2898431it's also the only worth a shit ride in all of Animal Kingdom.
>>2899003The safari is allegedly good.
>>2899006It's a good experience. Calling it a ride is a bit of a stretch though. We got real close to giraffes when we did it.
>>2897876https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8tCgWyu/
>>2899051>not katie fuck off
In this aerial photo of the demolition of Poseidon's Fury:1 Former location of water swirling tunnel2 Chamber walls in a flash of darkness would rise3 Most sound baffles fit through ceiling openings. There's an outer square. 4 Walls here during effects show in larger chamber
>>2899062I wonder how much of that demo gets salvaged or recycled. Probably just the structural steel and everything else that isn't bolted down goes into a landfill.
>You can purchase single day Epic tickets (with a Passholder discount) all the way through the end of April 2027.it's so over
I think it’s funny that there is almost universal agreement online that SFOG has the worst ops yet I’ve never seen a single person mention N
>>2899060
>>2899062RIP
pfSSSSSSSSwwSSSSSSSSwwwssSSSwwsSSSSSSSSSSSfwwwfffwSSSSSpfsssSSSSssSSSswwwwSSSSSSSS
>>2899103Pretty much the worst POVs, complete with wind noise and nausea from constant head movementI like the axis-locked vids made on gimbals that always stay level and videos where the camera is kept pointed ahead and kept relatively level instead of aimed at the track 20 feet in front of the train. I don't give a shit about the track mate just want a nice view
WHAT A BRILLIANT COASTER THAT WAS! WE REALLY ENJOYED THAT DIDN'T WE CHARLOTTE!
>>2899108worst ones are when they don't disable motion stabilisation. They get really trippy on inline twists and corkscrews.
>>2899071I dont think I've seen a single non-black ride op in atlanta
>>2899006>>2899003You have a much better time when you treat AK as a zoo with a roller coaster than as a theme park with animals.The safari secretly solely exists to sell tickets to the four upcharge backstage animal tours.
>>2899111Is it wrong I find him one of the more comfy vloggers?
>>2899197I saw a white guy last time I was there.>>2899220I don’t like zoos.
>>2899062yay can't wait for more half assed IP slop
Only one more week to ride Arie Force One
>>2899254simp
>>2899254I really do hope it's not gone forever. I got to ride it but not as many times as I would've liked.
>hate Muslims>love coastersI'm so conflicted bros
>>2899271Don't worry anon, there's no devout Muslims in Qiddiya City.
>>2899271I simply forgot how much I hate Muslims when they built this thing.

If I was a billionaire I'd buy AireForce One and put it in my backyard. I'd teach my butler how to operate it.
>>2899342You would think with how many billionaires and almost billionaires there are at least some of them would be thoosies
hollywood drift just soft opened
>>2899388A few POVs out, all terrible. Finally found someone worse than Theme Park Reviewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80vxiV0kbvQLooks a bit slow but it could just be the scale of the ride, layout also doesn't seem as interesting as I thought it would be, it's a bit too functional in ferrying between the big two elements. I feel there are going to be a lot of stalls/rollbacks on those too, wonder if it'll do a swing launch if that happens.
Reviews are saying it has some cool forces but isn't quite as intense as they were hoping.Seems obvious but the impression I get is GotG with full drops and inversions but much weaker launching and no theming/atmosphere (good views though). Some people calling it a family coaster which a bit shows how out of touch thoosies are but they were calling it Cheetah Hunt Mk.2
>>2899470I think I'm okay with that. I love Cosmic Rewind.
Great Adventure will reveal the name of their meme coaster in a hour and a half
Rode Iron Gwazi the other day, was my first hyper. Tbh it was fun but the locker bullshit at Busch Gardens is mad fucking annoying, I'll need to bring something with zippered pockets next time. Didn't get to do Shekria (I constantly kept pronouncing it Shekira) because of their fucktarded fireworks show. Did do Montu, Cobra's Curse (sovl) and Kumba. Kumba was alright but like it was a solid midcarder. Decent credits for the day. Is Hallow-o-Scream decent at Busch with the house lineups. I remember doing it a few years ago and liking it but I've been an HHN guy at heart (just not a big fan of the lines)
>>2899486I love HOS. They have some good houses and the wait wasn’t that long.
>>2898969>>2898614this is the worst news of my week
>>2899508It's not news it's just speculation.
From deep beneath the darkened sea, an ancient serpent rises. Ascend the spire and split the sky on Bakunawa — the fastest and tallest spinning launch coaster in the world. Inspired by Bakunawa, a legendary creature of folklore, this coaster reimagines the serpent’s coiling ascent as it attempts to devour the moon. Feel the pull of the eclipse as you launch through the world’s fastest inversion, reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour. After spiraling 382 feet into the air, you plummet back to earth, spinning to the shore as Bakunawa returns to the sea. Experience the world’s first floorless spinning coaster, the world’s first upside-down launch and more aboard Bakunawa — only at Six Flags Great Adventure.
>>2899510That really does look absolutely insane.
>>2899510https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qys7e_oNW4
>>2899513That’s a long ass stall. Also the backwards drop looks unreal.SFGAdv is saved.
It’s uphttps://youtube.com/shorts/PAxYwTsDIgw?is=pwFEDiGWdj6yK_xL
>>2899510Until now everyone through the trains would be the Ride to Happiness type ones with the floor and barrier in frontThis is floorless. You are going to have feet dangle 380 feet either directly down or directly up
>>2899522When that thing is spinning on the overbank and you're looking straight down nearly 400 feet with nothing underneath you, that might be the most terrifying moment on any ride.
>>2899523Why did losers say this thing looked boring again
>>2899525Most thoosies will just bitch about anything. We all miss Ka, and Six Flags didn't do the public any favors by anouncing its closure the very last minute, but this looks to be a suitable spiritual successor
>>2899510Wonder how restrictive they'll make the spinning. I feel two skinny guys & two fatties would make for a ride an order of magnitude more intense if they don't have some braking system.
>>2899525There were about 3 to 4 max coasters on the planet that people would bitch about if replaced by this and they replaced one of them
So is Mack king of coasters now or is it still Intamin?
>>2899486>I'll need to bring something with zippered pockets next time.Doesn't Gwazi have metal detectors anyway
>>2899513Is that the world’s longest stall? Gotta be longest in the US, beating AF1.
>>2899552Is it going to really be a stall though? A good stall "catches you" just as your body weight starts to go into the retraints I don't think that's going to happen here and you're going to be dangling upside down getting your balls/stomach crushed for a second or two.
>>2899554I thought a stall was just you’re upside down for longer than a normal loop, roll or corkscrew.
If Josh Damaro does not clone Bakunawa to Magic Kingdom he is a faggot
Bros, Bakunawa might actually be too scary for me
>>2899560If you want parking lot coasters go to parking lot coaster factories like Six Flags, FAGGOT
>>2899513Capacity will be horrendous but the ride looks pretty kino ngl
>>2899557It's an extended upside down section but it should feel like a stall in an aircraft (hence the name) rather than just dangling you
>>2899570Obviously it would have heavy thematics based on Maleficient and it would be the objective best coaster on the planet and cause Universal to suicide
>>2899571Will it have one of those things like Mr. Freeze where they can load one train while the other one is on the course?
>>2899575I would assume so but the capacity will still be low. I'm not complaining because it's a really cool idea/ride, but it's just merely a factual statement because the lines will be longer than long cat
Any tips for getting over coaster jitters? I thought riding some rides at Disney World would help but I keep getting anxious at Six Flags when I think about getting to one of the coasters but Barukawa looks really sick so I want to be able to hold myself to get on that
>>2899583Bakunawa. Sorry I can't spell shit
>>2899546yeah thats why i did had to buy a locker anyway i didnt have pockets to keep my phone safe . in general the operations in Busch are mad retarded lol. Kumba and Montu were running on a single train. I fucking went on a twenty minute wait and it took me forty five minutes to actually ride the goddamn thing. >>2899507Noted, was planning on taking my little bro and my dad.
>>2899583I always compare it to the scene in Lawrence of Arabia where Lawrence puts out a candle with his fingers. Somebody sees him do it and decides to try, he says "Ow! That hurts, what's the trick?" And Lawrence says "The trick is not minding that it hurts."Roller coasters are thrilling by design. You're supposed to be intimidated by them. I've ridden a bunch of coasters, and I still get a little jittery on a really tall coaster. But I know in my brain that I'm totally safe, and I can enjoy the anticipation of getting onto the ride, going up that lift hill, and then enjoying the intensity of the first drop. So ultimately, you can work your way up to the biggest ride in the park, you can learn about all the safety features that go into building roller coasters, but at the end of the day, the jitters aren't going to go away until you actually ride the ride. You have to just accept that feeling and ride the ride anyway.
I sincerely do not get how you could be actually terrified or even phased by these coasters like the new Six Flags one but are perfectly fine with this Halloween Horror jumpscare shit
>>2899590I actually find the jump scares more annoying than anything. I mean, after you've done it me or two houses, you understand the formula and you know where people are going to jump out. I found myself just wishing they'd leave me alone so I can just look at the cool sets.
>>2899591Is there anything like that? Like a walkthrough that is just cool or surreal vibes walking through an intricate set and not this horror cancer with teenagers just jumping out everywhere?I would love that so much more then these events that only have one theme (horror)
>>2899592Meow Wolf
I have never ridden a Morgan hyper, but I would really like to. They seem like the cult classics of the coaster world.
>>2899600Magnum fucking sucks though
>>2899510>coaster construction is completely finished>the station is a gazebo>no themeing>opening 2027are they really going to have 8 months of testing?I know its Mack so problems will appear
>>2899573Didn’t think of that. I guess we’ll see.
you wont like this but the Islands of Adventure Lost Continent replacement is further Harry Potter attractions. the area available once everything is cleared isnt enough for a separate land when you need to allow for back of house buildings. Lost Continent phasing into a complete Harry Potter land
>>2899600They're so-so. I've only been on Mamba at Worlds of Fun but the ex-CF Morgan hypers look similar. The first and second drops are good, the helix turnaround is fun (best headchopper I've seen), but after the middle block brake the ride is just a boring series of bunny hills that don't do anything. Back rows are the place to ride.
>>2899615Several things>Offseason is late december-april. Even if it is ready they are not going to have it opening for 3 days then shut down for months again.>They still have electrical work to do if that was the final design which takes months for an experimental design, along with the testing.>That is NOT the final theming and station. You can tell this because they do not feature the duel station that is being built right now
>>2899591>>2899592"Walk through" ghost houses used to be pretty common in UK parks. No scare actors, no forced conga, no one pressuring you to walk through as fast as possible.Alton Towers had a cool one that I remember as a kid.

>>2899618I don’t mind. Looks too small to do anything worthwhile with another property.
>>2899625Steel Force is the same.
Some thoosies are pointing out that Bakunawa looks super intense. Do you think there’s a chance it becomes the new I-305 - a love letter to thoosies but financially a flop because GP largely find it to be too much?
>>2899618Makes sense. Can do something with the Shrieking Shack and the Quidditch Field.
>>2899664Steel Dragon 2000 sucks though
>>2897881I thought it was okay, but maybe I was just disappointed that KD's woodies are not nearly as good as KI's.
>>2898485Can't wait for it to be rethemed to Frozen or something.
>>2899688If it’s just a bigger version of Steel Force I could see that. Haven’t ridden it. On the topic of Morgan, Phantom’s Revenge isn’t a traditional hyper layout but is elite.>>2899689Every park except Holiday World will disappoint you if KI is your bar for woodies.
>>2899694>KI is your bar for woodiesIt was mostly just me thinking of them as sister parks due to the names.
It boggles the mind when you realize that SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio both have Batman Clones.
I few years back, I really got into roller coaster despite my extreme fear of them. I've ridden a couple, but its been over 2 years since I last ever ridden one. I want to get back into riding, but I still feel a lot of anxiety about riding coasters. Any advice on how to overcome this fear?The most extreme coasters I've ridden was Mystic Timbers at King's Island and Storm Chaser at Kentucky Kingdom.
>>2899716>>2899583The key to getting over this is just to ride coasters. Start small and work your way up. It’s called exposure therapy. Your fear and anxiety are worse than the ride itself. Once you actually get on them you’ll realize the fear is unwarranted.I can attest to this. A year ago I was afraid to ride Candymonium because of how tall it was. Now my favorite coaster is Top Thrill 2.
>>2899716I still appreciate coasters, the engineering and the theming, but health issues prevent me from riding them.
>>2899716I think probably it's the height that's getting to you. I would just think to myself that the same restraints that work near the ground also work up in the air. If you trust the lap bar on Mystic Timbers to hold you in your seat, the same principles apply to a giant coaster like Orion. I'd say go back to Kings Island, do the smaller coasters that you know you can do, and then work your way up to Diamondback, and then Orion. And just remember, nobody's going to pull you in and force you to ride the coaster. You're just going to have to face your fear. I get it because I was horribly afraid of coasters when I was younger. My family had season passes to Dollywood, and I'd watch my dad and my brother ride Thunderhead, Mystery Mine, and Tennessee Tornado, and it took me forever to work up the courage to finally ride them. But I'm so glad I did because I love roller coasters now. While I still get the butterflies when I'm going up a really tall lift hill, I'm not afraid of coasters anymore and I want to ride as many as I can.
>>2899716What part scares you? Height? I personally find swing launches terrifying.
>>2899729Honestly, what >>2899726 said about heights, but I also get this general sense of anxiety when I'm at the entrance of the queue. Like, I get this feeling that once I enter the queue, there's no going back and leaving it. This only happens on rides I either haven't rode or haven't ridden in a long time.I've pinpointed these two as my problem since indoor coasters like the Mummy at Universal Orlando is something I ride multiple times in a row when I'm there.
>>2899625>>2899666After years of riding Steel Force, I expected Fujiyama to be like this, but then the second half of the coaster was more intense than the first half. The weird bunny hills at the end completely took me off guard. Genuinely my second favorite coaster in the world.
>>2899734I understand the intimidation that builds up once you enter the queue and you're getting closer and closer to the front of the line. I'd kind of try and think of it like a horror movie. You want to be a little scared, right? You know in your brain you're totally safe, but sometimes it's fun to be a little bit nervous. Mummy is an amazing ride. Next time you're at Universal, I'd love for you to try Velocicoaster. And just remember that the same lap bar that keeps you safe when you ride Mummy will keep you safe on Velocicoaster. This might sound funny to say, but if your lap bar failed on Mummy, you'd get pretty fucked up even though you're close to the ground. So it's actually not rational to trust the lap bar when you're close to the ground but not when you're high in the sky. It's the same concept, and these rides are built with multiple failsafes, so the amount of things that would have to go wrong simultaneously essentially makes it impossible anything bad will happen. I say just let the butterflies in your stomach flutter and enjoy this amazing ride.
>>2899735Forgot about that one.
>beautifully themed>one of the best themed coasters in the world>in park safari>2 excellent icons>mot sophisticated animatronic in history>S tier simulator ridewhy does AK get so much hate anons? it just aint right
I seriously hope you guys don't do this

>>2899836Half day park. Refuses to fix yeti.
>>2899513>crawling into a long stal at an overbank at ~350ft in the air on a spinning car with only a lapbarThis is probably the scariest ride I've ever seen
>>2899666I saw people saying Mamba's bunny hills were wild last season because they adjusted the block brake so it didn't act as a trim, but it seems they changed it back to trim for this season. Too bad
>>2899836Yeti's broken, dinos are gone, Rivers of Light is dead and I don't really care about Avatar.I love the park, but its just not worth the price for me anymore. While its a damn good zoo, a lot of other zoos around the country have caught up in terms of theming and immersion. I can think of several zoos with gigantic Africa-themed zones.
>>2899071>just because your staff is almost 100% hood niggas doesn’t mean they have to be bad at their jobsJen, I…
>>2899918There was an old Coaster Studios video (he was like 15) and he was reviewing Six Flags America and he pointed out that most people working there were black. He said it's not a good or bad thing but it's just something he observed. It was so fucking funny but eventually he edited it out when people dug it up.
>>2899836the rapids is ridiculously short. the line was 45 minutes I expected better from disneythe avatar land and flying ride is amazing despite its THREE preshows
tormenta was a walk on today, got in 4 rides. they're still enforcing assigned seating so I never got the back rows but the front left side has some fun leg-chopper moments.once you get acclimated to the height you get some really enjoyable views of the park. you can tell they put a lot of thought into where the first drop was pointed.The sense of speed is incredible, it's better than Titan. if you have any moisture on your face you can feel the wind drag it across you skin as if you were a drooling retard. Unfortunately I am starting to notice how short the ride is. Titan, the other "tall coaster" at the park feels twice as long.the final brake run is so fucked with the stop and go you can hear people yell out "who's driving this thing?"also, the funicular cart on the chain lift is air conditioned lol
Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift POVs are outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_XooqQkoFULooks pretty cool, great idea to build it on the hillside
August 19 is the opening day for NightFlight Expedition. I'll likely get to ride it about a month later. Looking forward to it.
>>2899667I think it is going to flop generally.Locals are still pissed at Ka and the removals, while the park is still seen as poor quality by the public even if they are cleaning up now, while is reputation is the typical Six Flags low-tier for ghetto trash resort. And this ride is going to be seen as way too intense for people. They are going to see the spinning and say nope to even showing up let alone get there and the rest of the park is not drawing them anywayThis is going to be a thoosie favorite, perhaps a top 10 ranked ride worldwide, but it will flop with locals and GP. And being a thoosie favorie does not save a park.
>>2899984I partly agree. It'll get thoosie praise (already is) because influencers wouldn't risk not being invited back to exclusive events. I don't think the spinning will turn people off that much but it could end up being Pantherian 2.0... a one-and-done ride for many. Personally I think spinning coasters are gimmicks.Six Flags is still going down the road that put them in the poorhouse, just plopping in new rides and ignoring everything else.
How can Six Flags fix the... "demographic" problem?
>>2899984It’s just as well considering how low the capacity is sure to be. Small trains.>>2899988Thoosies are going to like it because it’s awesome, regardless of what influencers think.
I simply do not consider shuttle coasters to be real roller coasters
>>2900083
>>2900083I don't like them because my autism likes knowing exactly how many feet of track I travel.
>>2900123How does a shuttle coaster prevent this?
>>2900125Because there's a little bit of the track at the end that you don't travel on
>>2900128Really? Lame. Someone in engineering should do something about this.
I like car park coasters and I like heavily immersive rides there I said it!!one thing I'll never understand though is people trying to avoid getting wet on water rides
>>2900132Because floating in water is comfy and seeing the scenery is neat. I'm not on the ride to get wet. Are you also perplexed at people in ponchos on the water rides?
>>2900132It depends on the temperature. On a fall day I still enjoy a log flume, but I don't want to get super wet. But if I'm in Orlando and it's 93 degrees, I'm happy to get soaked on the water rides at Islands of Adventure.
>>2900134>Are you also perplexed at people in ponchos on the water rides?yes. I want to almost drown going on a water ride
>>2900140>different people enjoy the same thing in different waysSorry the current simulation is too complex for you to comprehend. Maybe try dialing the settings down a notch?
>>2900141no. water rides are for getting wet
I like getting a little wet
Is there a wetter experience than the Popeye's ride? I reckon the only way it would be beat would be if the entire vessel were submerged in water at some point.
>>2900145
>>2900145Valhalla at Blackpool is close. that ride is near its end sadly
>>2900147Do you think someone in Saudi Arabia is genuinely a roller coaster enthusiast? Or are they just building this for the sake of (((tourism)))?
I’m at Fun Spot Atlanta today. I can’t believe I missed meeting Katie by just a few days.
>>2900145Jump into a wave pool
>>2900147>dry from shoulders upPopeyes is wetter. Neat mechanics though, too bad it's so out of the way for me; would definitely go if it were in the US.>>2900181Looking for more of a ride. Swimming is also wetter than Popeye's, but I'm not paying $190 to jump into a pool.
>>2897876Guys : legit question. Why are theme parks from 8 am-noon white and third world multiculturalism from 1pm-4pm?
Jon Arie Jr. came up to the AF1 station and addressed the crowd. I was alone in line for the front row so I asked him to ride with me and he actually did it. He was a good friend.
Jon Arie Jr.'s wife came up to me when I was sitting in the back row of ArieForce One by myself and gave me a blowjob. She was a good friend.
>>2900204He may have made a bad investment, but only because he loved roller coasters so much
>>2900171She doesn't want a gooner boyfriend. She literally doesn't even do the haunted houses at theme parks at Halloween time because she doesn't think they honor God.
The Enchanted Parks CEO was scoping out AireForce One the other day. Supposedly the Six Flags people have already been there. Seems like there's real interest in saving the ride. Selfishly I'd like it at Carowinds because it's close to me, but I'd be happy as long as some park picks it up.
>>2900213Yeah he told me he had ridden hundreds of coasters and his favorites were SteVe and AF1. So he really did build his dream ride.
>>2900219Arie told me he’s getting tons of calls about purchasing it, so it seems unlikely no one gets it.
>>2900220That is genuinely based. Hiring a company to make the perfect ride and naming it after yourself. Hopefully it will get saved, I'm glad there's interest.
>>2900220>SteVecringe
>>2900228Sorry, Steel Vengeance.
Give me every essential park in New York, New England, and that part of Canada. So far I have>Six Flags New England>Six Flags Darien Lake>Six Flags Great Escape>La Ronde>Lake Compounce>Nickelodeon Universe>Luna Park>Santa's Village>Story LandAlready done Canada's Wonderland this year so don't want to return there. Can Nickelodeon and Luna Park be done in the same day? Assuming Santa's Village and Story Land can.
>>2899519Looks beautiful, both. She's so wholesome. A lot better than Jenny. Better looking and not liberal signaling.
>>2897922There is no way the revisionist version of this will show the genius of the West or even look as good as the original. How black will they make it? Its going to be so ugly and backwards.

>>2897876 Visited Dollywood. I can see why they are actually in competition with Disney. The cleanliness was all American. The theming was cozy old school frontier theming that Walt used to have all over the parks before liberals infiltrated. The place was happier and friendlier. Still they lack the innovation and invention of the Disney legacy. The cups were $25. They look great. But the cups are only $20 at Busch Gardens.
>>2897876https://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/202607/12573/
>>2900296I've definitely noticed the Disney vloggers are all checking out Dollywood lately. I'm just glad the park is expanding so much in line with how popular it's becoming. Hopefully they do a really good job with NightFlight. I don't want it to look cheap in that building. I want it to be a ride worthy of being compared to the great dark rides of Orlando and Europe.
>>2897876Pigeon Forge is pretty amazing. I love all the opportunities for dates for young adults and teens. The prices end up being more than Disney for the same experience due to smaller businesses Nd separated theming.
>>2897876Mountain coasters are quickly becoming a thing. I was worried about accidents, in PG, but it was fine. Great experience.
>>2900300I don't know about Europe but the dark rides in Orlando are unmatched. As someone who is tired of coasters due to aging, I love the relaxing imagination and educational aspects of "thanking the Phoenicians". I think there is hope for PG. Talent exploding from that region. Not necessarily Dollywood, but we will see.
Imagine throwing up at the top of this thing
>>2900214That just makes me cherish her even more. She’s so pure.
>>2899836Right now it's not worth the ticket price until Tropical Americas are complete. 20% of the park is closed which means it's smaller than all the others, has the fewest rides, and it closes at 6. Also Avatar section is incredibly half assed attempt at a movie section ever. They are not competing with Universal in that department at all.
>>2897908When I went to SeaWorld last month, I noticed they added Portuguese to all the signs
I wish more parks would stay open year round. I love parks but I hate lines.
Toverland is supposed to have a new dark ride by the end of next year. I bet it'll be cool. Hope it's open by the time I take my trip over there.
>>2900390Seasonal parks tend not to be busy drying the week with only a few exceptions, at least in the US.
How many days do I need at Silver Dollar City? Was going to do two with a fast pass on one of them.
>>2897876https://youtu.be/hj3Umv0_-qc?si=_rRIb86FPQCCuQqWhttps://youtu.be/IpnddZiq2ik?si=fBYWaZcNVhTf1KlZ
>>2900368>Also Avatar section is incredibly half assed attempt at a movie section ever.Truly wondering why you say this if you're referring to theming. Putting your bias against the movies aside Avatarland does an excellent job bringing that world to real life.One can argue that Universal eventually overtook them with Epic Universe, but Avatarland was excellent at the time. Keep in mind that Star wars land in Hollywood studios wasn't even open yet.
>promoted at wagie job >work schedule is Mon-Fri now>cant use my cheap disney pass anymore without taking PTOI think I gotta cancel it. Don't really feel like paying double to go on (busier) weekends. And I don't live close enough to just pop in after work, day trips only. I will keep it long enough to use it on a vacation next month then probably cancel it after... it's been fun bros.
>>2900296Dollywood is arguably the best park in the country and you won't convince me otherwise
>>2900431Yeah I just went for the first time a few weeks ago and I loved it.
Going to Didney World soon. Any secret gems to know of? Been 10+ times
>>2900435Be sure to listen to the piano lesson on main street.
For all the shit car park coasters get universal makes a F&F coaster with the only theming being the car itself and gets praised
>>2900491It's a brainless car action movie set in regular world cities. What are they supposed to do, have you zoom past an animatronic Vin Diesel saying the word family?
>>2900435Epcot Mexico ride. Easy to get on and a great space in general.
>>2900431You have a fair argument because American culture is still there. The cleanliness alone is what Walt wanted for his own parks but has been missing.
>>2900494You say this as if it wouldn't be great. Especially if he has the jankiest of motions.
>>2900495The beginning is so cool.
>>2900495I should hate it because it's just a bunch of themed TVs but Three Caballeros is genuinely one of my personal favorite Disney movies and it's kinda crazy that it has its own ride
>>2899995Raising pass prices for one. One of the main reasons that "demographic" is so prevalent at Six Flags parks is that the pass prices are so cheap.
>>2900581They tried to raise the prices before and revenue went way down. B&M is just ruthless on parks.
>>2900581That's a problem because at parks that aren't CP/KI, the value isn't there to justify the price increase to everyone else. Not only is the company not making money, but they're faced with a situation where they would need to spend years and at least a billion dollars bringing their parks up to a better spec, and that amount doesn't include new rides. They're just fucked from their own cutbacks over the last 25 years. I don't see a way out for them.
>>2900409What do you plan on doing there? One day will be more than enough if you're going there for the coasters. If you want to do everything else, I would recommend two days.
>>2900152My guess is for this and a lot of what they do it's more of a "we love this stuff in the west and want to bring it home", and if it makes any money at all it's a bonus. It's not like they really expect a couple of theme parks to even scratch the money they make from oil
>>2899836>mot sophisticated animatronic in historysuper overrated. the park is great but there's just not enough of it especially if you don't waste your day in line for FoP
>animal kingdom I think you mean greatest theme park in the world, according to some GPs for some reason.
>>2900625That's a wild take. I liked Animal Kingdom, it was a great start to our Orlando trip, but even if Tropical Americas ends up the hypest shit ever I still wouldn't consider it the best Disney World park.

I don't remember much from that trip but I remember my sister and dad explaining how batshit insane that one was. I don't even remember which coaster it was me and my mom did, when I look up coasters at the park none of them seem to match how I remember it.
>>2900898Bit of a shame the same layout is at 4 parks now but I guess if it ain't broke...It's neat they've moved away from putting huge drops and giant horseshoes in family spinners now and found you can have a fun forceful layout without making something look imposing for the age group. The Fullyautomatix coaster at parc asterix looks too, need to get over to that one when the Londiunium SFX coaster opens.

>>2900931Merlin have learned the hard way that investing big tickets in to Thorpe Park doesnt pay off. No matter what they do it wont be their most popular park. £18m spent on Hyperia and attendance went down.Alton Towers and Legoland. Thats what they need to keep in top tip form
>>2900995Thorpe park needs rides other than white knuckle coasters. I get they want it to be the coaster park but if you want full families, you need to actually have rides for them. They got rid of one of the best log flumes in the country for Hyperia.

>>2900956The Fun Spot CEO said it will not be your last ride on Aireforce during departures yesterday so it sounds like it will be relocated
>>2901046I'm really happy to hear that
>>2901046It would have been a complete waste to just throw that giant in the trash honestly. Who even thought it would end up scrapped?
>>2901052>It would have been a complete waste to just throw that giant in the trash honestly.Why?
>>2901053It's a really nice rollercoaster anon
>>2901052People were saying if they scrapped the coaster they could write it off on taxes. But also Aire clearly cares about the ride a lot so I think he wanted it to be relocated as well. I'm excited to see where it ends up, and I look forward to riding it again. Do you count it as a credit twice if you ride a coaster in two different places?
>>2901054Well if it does get scrapped it wouldn't go in a landfill. The steel would be recycled and any usable parts would get sold off to other buyers.
>>2901055>Do you count it as a credit twice if you ride a coaster in two different places?If relocated i personally count it as a different ride. I don't track things on any site but i do have an excel sheet for each theme park i go to.
Reasonable options for Aireforce (not looking into if they have land for it right now which might exclude some parks)>Enchanted ParksThis would be the highlight attraction of the entire chain. CEO talked about being interested in this ride. If this went anywhere it would probably be Mid-America since they talked about that being the flagship. Worlds of Fun and Valleyfair are possible but reaching >Six FlagsHas the scale to buy this but would probably be one of the 10 focus parks. The easiest relocation to Over Georgia will not happen since they have a RMC. Carowinds is close and could do it. Great Adventure needs another highlight attraction bad as part of its rebuild. King’s Island does not have one nor does Canada’s Wonderland. Knotts does not have the space and the rest of the major players have a RMCWith any of these options need to work on capacity concerns >Seaworld/BuschThey have payment issues with RMC so they cannot buy one direct, so if any of their other parks are going to get a RMC this might be their only chance >Fun SpotThe wildcard is they actually keep this and move it to Fun Spot Orlando. I feel if they were going to they would have announced this by now
>>2901055They've been making money from it for years and it's likely coasters are classed as deprecating assets so it's likely there isn't any meaningful tax write off to be had.Selling it will probably get 1/4-1/3 the cost back and the demolision will be done for them.>>2901062It's probably not a significant amount more to get it shipped on a boat somewhere compared to taking 100 trucks across the country so it doesn't need to be limited to US parks. Apparently RMC's restraints aren't compliant with UK law so won't be coming here.
>>2901057The real life inspiration isn't quite as bad but I imagine it's still pretty constant noise (plus there's a train line before the trees). Late night opening in the Summer with fireworks at 10pm. At least the grand national and Nickelodeon Streak (the two woodies near the terraces) aren't late night opening.There is a reason why Blackpool is one of the most deprived places in the country.
>>2901062Carowinds would be great since their coaster lineup is so extremely uneven and they could use another great ride. I also do like the idea of making it the first big edition to Mid-America under new ownership, and adding a world class coaster like this would be a massive first step into making that park what they want it to be.
I hope AF1 gets cut up for scrap just because it would make parking lot coaster fans mad
>>2901072It is not a true parking lot coaster like the Fast and Furious coaster
>>2901052Retarded gloomers.
>>2901063The people saying it would be a tax write off have no idea how that works.
>>2901067was at Blackpool on saturday. that park needs to wake up in funding more staff on the rides or get rid of the ticket scanning process on every ride. people dont know what theyre doing and end up in the front row queue for icon while the other rows go empty. Ride staff dont give a shit and load up a half empty train. Meanwhile they were begging for people to go watch the hot ice show. Think Amanda needs to abandon her pet project for a year or two and focus on getting staff working better
Also Im getting very tired of british youtubers constantly looking the other way when it comes to blackpool. big dipper derailed last week? silence. annual pass perks are almost fuck all? silence. but the new flat ride is treated as the second coming. If Alton Towers were ran like this these youtubers would be making daily videos slamming the park
>>2901168Eh, not a fan of some of her decisions (fuck the Wild Mouse closure) but she is trying really hard to keep the park open and to prevent it stagnating. The current situation was a result of listening to feedback and adding some cheaper ticket options for mixed families.Can you blame them for being low key on the Big Dipper derailment? No one was hurt, the fail safe did it's job and it looked gnarlier than it was. Youtubers and news sites made a big deal over the scenic railway derailment and then it was used as an excuse for Ticketmaster to close the UK's oldest coaster (and to no doubt let it rot so they can tear it down turn it into a venue).Pleasure Beach gets slack because it's owners are up against it and they fail, there's not a good chance of anyone having the money to take it over. Despite them operating half of the Blackpool attractions now, can't see Merlin being keen to add another struggling UK park.Alton Towers deserves the shit it's getting. Pathetic hours, no sign of any new E-ticket rides for the supposed best park in the country and insane price gouging for shit food (even Disney got their act together on that front). Meanwhile you've Paultons Park with a new, solid expansion, great ride ops and just generally being well run
>>2901172Is Alton Towers food quality and value worse than Busch Gardens Tampa’s? They charge about $20 for the worst meal you can get at an American park.
"hey man here's some tips and tricks to get the most out of your disneyworld vacation">proceeds to advertise disney vacation club for the next 15 minutes
>>2901178Its worse. At least at Busch Gardens/Sea World you can get Chick-Fil-A. Plus at Alton Towers drink refills are diet version only, plus no ice and its rarely chilled.
>>2901255Have you tried talking to chatgpt? If you give more context, it'll give you some suggestions. I suggest you provide your budget, location, and trip duration (day trip? one week?), and maybe what you're interested in (riding as many rollercoasters as possible? riding a specific type of coaster? theming?).
>>2901255A lot of parks kind of require renting a car once you get off the airport since they're kind of on the outskirts most of the time. I think the most common answer would put Cedar Point as the #1 coaster park in America, but there's other great choices too. Kings Island, Hersheypark, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Dollywood, these are all really exceptional parks with very well-rounded coaster lineups. Also the thing to keep in mind is that Halloween stuff at these amusement parks can be fun, but they're usually only open on weekends during this time, so they can get VERY crowded.Dollywood is the exception though. They don't do haunted houses or anything but their fall festival is a great time to go to the park. A weekday is September will give you low lines and amazing atmosphere, especially at night.
>>2901255King's Island, Cedar Point, or CarowindsOnly downside to CP is you'll drive further from the airport, but if you fly into Cleveland it's not far. Detroit is another option, it's about a 2 hour drive to the park. You could fly into Cincy and do Kings Island+CP if you wanted to do both. I don't think you'll find a better one-two punch for coasters in the US than those two parks. You'll definitely want to budget 2 days at CP and perhaps 2 at KI as well, especially if you go in October.Carowinds is a little more than 4 hours from Dollywood, but imo despite Dollywood being a very nice park their coaster lineup is on the small side compared to the others with more family-oriented rides than pure thrill rides. You might find it lacking compared to the others. Check RCBD.The downside to going in October/Halloween is that parks get way more visitors since they're usually only running on weekends that late in the year. Lines will be longer, you might have to budget for a Fast Pass or whatever the park calls their line skipping system.
>>2901255Go to other parks mentioned first (Dollywood is probably the best park in the country) and then try Disney/Universal and compare the two. A lot of people start as coaster autists and then slowly turn into theming autists. Don't dismiss Disney without trying them at some point.
>>2901339That anon said he liked coasters so we can presume he's not scared of them like you themecels
>>2901342Nigga I have ridden virtually every coaster of note in the country. I just get tired of going to parking lots with coasters plopped down in the middle. What's ironic is despite your SEETHING for being too poor to afford Disney, Epcot has arguably the most intense ride in the country in based Mission: Space.
>the people who post in roller coaster general hate roller coasterscolor me surprised
>>2901351Never said I didn't like roller coasters faggot. Just don't like run down shitty parks staffed exclusively by black teenagers. There's like two exceptions to this, Dollywood and Busch Gardens.
>>2901350>SEETHING for being too poor to afford DisneyIt's not a question of affordability, it's a matter of value. I like coasters so if I'm going to pay a lot of money for admission, I want to ride coasters for adults who aren't terrified of them. That's all this boils down to. I would love it if Disney built a giga. They won't because they know the people they cater to are too short to ride or too much of a pussy to get on one. "Muh sightlines" is the popular cope for that if you want to disagree.>Nigga>faggotYou're trying too hard. We can see right through it.
>I would love disney to build a gigayeah the magic kingdom car park has loads of room. a b&m giga dive rattler would suit disney world very much
>>2901356I'd theme it to Phineas and Ferb
>>2901356>Stealth replyYou are a pussy.
>>2901357only theming I want is tarmac and parking signs
>>2901362>tarmacIn the US we only use this word for airport-related surfacing. What poor shithole are you actually from?
>>2901252Why the fuck can yuros not into cold drinks
>>2901367why are you getting touchy about a joke? lmao never read something so stupid as suggesting disney get a giga. dont apply to be an imagineer, anon
>>2901353Most of the world’s gigas aren’t even intense so that wouldn’t help your cause. It would have to be an I-305 type giga.
>>2901369>No denialForeign shitholer confirmed. Which one?
>>2901372Intensity isn't the only reason why someone would be frightened of a ride, and that varies from person to person in the first place. Other factors like height, speed, reputation/word-of-mouth, even just the appearance of a ride come into play as to why someone would or would not get on one.
>>2901353The difference is when you go to Magic Mountain you’re only having fun the 20 or so minutes all day that you’re on a coaster. When you go to Universal you get to have fun the entire day.
>>2901389If you want to extrapolate that further, most of your day at any park is not spent on/in rides or attractions.
>>2901396I already did extrapolate that. At quality parks like Epic and Dollywood you can ride nothing and still have a fantastic day. Not the same for budget parks like Magic Mountain and SFOT where there’s almost nothing else to do.
>>2901260Idk about that, I don't really use AI and I would rather get a real opinion from people who have actually experienced these places.>>2901261>>2901283Thanks for the advice. Cedar point definitely seems like the right choice based on what you guys are saying. I would consider doing King's Island too but idk if it makes sense to do 4 days and that kind of drive in addition to flying. I definitely would want to go when it's not as busy but if the fast pass significantly improves the experience I would do it. Like if I got to ride 2-3x as many rides it would be worth paying since I probably wouldn't be back for a long time. Is it generally worth doing that in your experience? Also from what I saw online, the fast pass seems to not apply to Halloween stuff at Cedar point, is that pretty commonplace? If thats the case and these places are also only open on weekends leading to huge lines, I think I might want to avoid going in October unfortunately.>>2901339It's not that I dismiss them, I just don't have a particular interest in any of those IPs and it seems like you probably pay more for something that isn't as tailored to my interests (basically I want to ride as many insane roller coasters as I can in one trip). So I would rather try your suggestion when/if I have kids, or at least have someone else to go with, I think it would be a lot more worth it then.
>>2901398>I already did extrapolate that.I extrapolated it further.
>>2901399Fast lane is definitely required at Cedar Point no matter what day you go on. Kings Island you can probably get on without it on weekdays but your day will still be better with it. If coasters are what you’re targeting those are great choices (and I’d throw in Magic Mountain and Hersheypark as well), but for the best overall experience I’d recommend Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. Coaster collections not quite as impressive but the experience as a whole is better - more beauty, more soul, more shows, more theming.
prediction - and I will be correct:the Lost Continent new addition opens before anything new at WDW. Monsters Inc land gets 2028 opening. Cars at MK is 2029 minimum (Villains land 2031). Tropical America at AK? 2028 again.disney STILL have labour issues. Theyve had over 2 years to sort this btw
I have never tried Dippin' Dots
>>2901399If you decide to fly to Cincinnati to hit KI, Holiday World is under 3.5 hours down the Interstate and they've got a small but good collection, it's not as pretty as BGW or Dollywood but it still gets rave reviews. KI to CP is closer to 4. Yeah, not ideal but worth considering given that all of those parks are rated highly by the public and enthusiasts, and Kings Island has almost as big a lineup of coasters as CP. Just spitballing because if I'm going through the hassle of flying and renting a car, I figure I might as well also hit parks that are nearby.Alternate ideas are BGW and King Dominion, they're about an hour and a half apart and can be reached easily from Richmond. LA has Magic Mountain, Knott's, and Universal. Orlando offers Sea World and Universal, BGT is 2 hours down I-4. If you went to Hersheypark you could tack on Dorney, Knoebel's (both under 2 hours), and even Great Adventure.Cedar Point doesn't seem to have off-days anymore, i.e. weekdays when the crowds are much thinner than the weekends. People say it's crowded just about every day there now. Kids are going back to school though, so maybe between now and the beginning of Haunt might be a decent time to go even if it's weekends only. Personally I don't bother going to any park in October, it's just more crowded than I prefer to deal with.If you're waiting until next year to get to Cedar Point, look at what day they open for the 2027 season. They open much later in the spring than most other parks.
>>2901399Yeah Cedar Point is unlike a lot of regional parks in that it's always pretty busy. If you're going to Cedar Point you should definitely buy the Fast Lane. There's a lot of parks where you can avoid needing to pay for those passes, but Cedar Point isn't one of them. I also think it will be a plenty enjoyable experience if that's the only park you do for a trip. We enthusiasts are always wanting to put together road trip itineraries, but if you haven't even ridden any coasters in a while, Cedar Point will be plenty enough to blow your mind. I would suggest going in the middle of the week in May, which is a less busy time, but still buy Fast Lane because it's still busier than most amusement parks during the week. If you were hoping to go to a park sooner than that, Dollywood during the week in September when they're doing their Harvest Festival is peak. You will not need a skip the line pass, crowds are super low. Dollywood doesn't have as many big coasters as Cedar Point but they have an extremely well rounded lineup, and the atmosphere is top notch. It's just a great place to be even if you weren't riding anything.

>>2901404Disney really need to sort out their build times.At least The Lion King at Paris is making steady progress, even if the land looks to be the laziest theming of modern Disney.D23 in 10 days, looking forward to a bunch of news
>>2901414>D23 in 10 days, looking forward to a bunch of newsPlace your bets:What treasured/tired ride/attraction's demolition will Disney casually announce this year?Wouldn't be surprised by any of the below:>Indiana Jones stunt showBorrowed time since the boulder incident + new ride in AK>Tomorrowland SpeedwayCalifornia Autopia probably safe because they're replacing the gas cars with electric ones, but no news on the Florida version lately.>California Winnie the PoohDoesn't fit the Bayou retheme at all.>California Adventure PhilharMagicFrankly terrible experience in that theater compared to MK. It should either revert to MuppetVision or get a new show built for it >Journey into Imagination Please end this version. We don't need 2002 Eric Idle anymore.>Pretty sure everything still standing at AK is safe at this point
>>2901404WDW, to their credit, has been moving significantly faster when it comes to construction times since LL was introduced. They need those gibs from retarded normies so they're motivated to actually build shit. Monsters Inc for example is already vertical. They're still slow and all of the construction will take forever but compared to Tron and Guardians they're flying. >d23 predictionsSpace Mountain update (they'll probably ruin it) Figment update (heavily rumored Neil Patrick Harris is involved, may Allah forgive me for uttering his name) More villains/cars land updates Probably some gay DVC shitWouldn't be shocked at another Muppets courtyard type thing by RnRWildcards: Spaceship Earth major refurb, new E ticket to Animal Kingdom (so Josh can make a splash)I don't care about anything besides WDW so any other announcements are irrelevant twaddle.

>>2901423I'd take NPH over the rumor of Rogen himself playing Dreamfinder in his planned movie, but I still think the best celebrity stuntcast Dreamfinder option is Ewan McGregor.
I felt bad about my planned European trip for next year that I'm not squeezing in Ride to Happiness, but I think I'm just going to have to make another trip specifically to Belgium later, especially since Walibi Belgium is getting their new RMC in 2028. We'll be hitting up six different parks so to complain would just be greedy. It just makes it easier to swallow that I'm missing out on such a well regarded coaster if I think about going to that country specifically and hitting up another new park as well.
>>2901255If you fly into Philadelphia and rent a car, you are within an hours drove of Dorney Park and Great Adventure and 2 hours from Hershey Park. There are also several top-class haunted attractions in the same area on top of the in-park halloween events. If you want to spend time at one Park, you're better off going to Cedar Point or Dollywood, but if you want to hop around to several, Philly is a good option.
>>2901537>being in the northeast at all for any reason whatsoevergrim
>>2901421I feel like Journey Into Imagination being fixed is inevitable with the growing popularity of Figment, plus it is like the most easy win they could ever have. People would agree to eating shit if it meant they got the old version with the Dreamfinder back. However I think that's something they might keep in their back pocket for whenever they get shat on for some heinous controversial thing (although something as drastic as getting rid of the Rivers of America would've been it imo).
>>2897922They're going to make everyone in it black aren't they. They don't want us remembering what we once were.
>>2897922How ugly and nonimaginative is this going to be on a scale of 1 to 10.
>>2901560The first scene is the moon landing in July 1969.That's a very weird place to BEGIN your robotic stage show about human progress.Kinda far along the path, and (as we now know) it's only been downhill from there.The whole show is just nostalgia bait for the boomers who were young enough to watch Neil Armstrong on TV.Why do this? No idea. This version won't last a decade, after all, the oldest boomers will be 90 in 2035.
>>2901568It will last as long as they want it to. They know that no matter how much you seethe about the parks and attractions, you're not going to stop obsessing over and visiting their parks.
>>2901571I only go to the parks when someone gives me free tickets. That's somehow been about once a decade
>>2901568>First scene>We get our news from the television, we travel by car, and all of our menial labor is done using electric devices and appliances.>Second scene>We get our news from the television, we travel by car, and all of our menial labor is done using electric devices and appliances.>Third scene>We get our news from the television, we travel by car, and all of our menial labor is done using electric devices and appliances.Wow, what a riveting exploration of human development.
>>2901568Please, they actually allowed smokers in polite society back then and they were even allowed to smoke on planes. The 60s were filthy. Plus they had to pay for music.
>>2901414Oh shit I forgot D23 is happening next week.Realistically I'm not expecting anything crazy, mostly updates on some of the vague stuff we've known about like more specific details on Villains Land, info on whatever is going into the theater in Monstropolis, the Spiderman rides in Shanghai and Hong Kong, etc. Maybe show off some animatronics for the Lion King water ride, stuff like that.
>>2901540It’s going to happen because after 25-30 years a ride starts becoming a liability with being outdated and making a lesser impression to guests unless it is a classic, and Imagination is clearly not. It is probably the worst rated ride at the resort, but two back to back redoes means it takes that amount of time for the investment return to reach its projection before more money is reinvested in another redo (unless a IP is huge and warrants earlier redos). Imagination is now at the age where it is due for a redoThe one thing is that the popularity surge ensures that a new version would keep the same theme (as it would be career killing to try and remove him) and not just change to an IP adaption like Inside Out that what planned at one point.
>>2901589Nemo is worse.
>>2901589The Inside Out thing was never happening, thankfully. They proposed the plans to Pete Docter and he asked why the fuck they would ever get rid of Figment there, turns out he's a huge fan himself.
>>2901538The northeast kicks ass.>t. southerner
>>2901588In theory this is a big year (when it went annual it was implied they'd alternate between minor update years and big news).Not saying these will happen but these are some of the things that either have a lot of rumours, they've been oddly quiet about or it's time for an update.>Disneyland Paris Mandalorian and Star wars mini-land>Disneyland Paris adventureland expansion (originally thought for Lion King)>Disney Adventure World's final peak, probably Avatar due to leaked codename>Disneyland California possible third gate or expansions for both parks>Avatar replacement, thought to be Zootopia>encanto ride stuff>Cars ride stuff>actual details on villain land that aren't "we looked at some buildings in barcelona">ride vehicles for Space Mountain 2 and Wreck it Ralph at Tokyo>details on the Incredibles land>shanghai Spider-man Coaster>HK Spider-man ToT
>>2901596>Avatar replacement, thought to be ZootopiaNope today on their investor call they confirmed Avatar is still happening and this rumor is fake https://wdwnt.com/2026/08/disney-debunks-rumors-that-avatar-land-is-canceled-for-disney-california-adventure-ahead-of-d23/
>>2901596>Disney Adventure World's final peak, probably Avatar due to leaked codename>Avatar replacement, thought to be ZootopiaWhy would they cancel the plans for one Avatar land (presumably because of worse box office results or disinterest in the general public), but then continue building it in another park? Seems odd to me, if they assume it won't be as successful as they hope and change course, that they would only halfway do it. Or was Avatar more popular in Europe for some reason?
>>2897876August 10th is so close guys. It's sad that literal Dollywood is better at cleanliness than Disney. Walt has been rolling in his grave at what they've done to his park for years. https://www.calendarr.com/united-states/countdown/10-aug/
>>2901568I'm not surprised. They want to erase history. They failed to attack the place from the outside so they're destroying it from within.
today was the 65th anniversary of Six Flag's grand opening, they were giving out free unlimited birthday cake to everyone in the park. never thought I'd see a theme park give out free food.
>>2901639Out of the cockles of their black hearts... I bet it's just a ploy to sell more fountain drinks and/or food. Most fatties will get hungry after consuming sweets.
>>2901593Nemo is probably half a decade out but there is rumblings they are going to get rid of Nemo and potentially redo the whole pavilion
>>2901408Thanks, this is a lot of helpful information and advice. Do you happen to know if the Kalahari by CP is worth staying at? I like waterparks too, so I thought that might be a nice trip on its own, do both of those for 3-4 days. And then maybe at some point in the future go back and do CP and KI.>>2901412>if you haven't even ridden any coasters in a while, Cedar Point will be plenty enough to blow your mindI was thinking that too. It's been around 9 years since I've ridden a coaster and definitely nothing close to as intense as the ones at Cedar Point.>I would suggest going in the middle of the week in May, which is a less busy timeWhen I searched online I saw something about really bad mayflies, is that a reason why its less busy? Because honestly that would ruin the experience for me, I hate bugs haha. I'd take long lines over that for sure. And I'll definitely consider Dollywood in September, that sounds right up my alley.
>>2901666At most regional parks that start weekly operation around Memorial Day, the first few weeks are generally a less busy time, not really anything to do with bugs, it's just not everybody's summer break is in full swing yet. Bugs are definitely a thing a Cedar Point because it's right on the lake. In your case yeah it might be a good idea to look at when they'd have the least amount of bugs. Even if they're a little busier and Fast Lane is a little more expensive, you'd probably be happier.
>>2901601>>2901596>clone Avatar area for California>clone Avatar area for Paris>mini clone Star Wars area for ParisI thought the idea is have different attractions to give people the incentive to visit each one. Whats the point going to all 3 resorts if the rides are the same?
>>2901648They'd better keep it a proper aquarium
>>2901690Avatar California won't be a clone and it'll be interesting to see what they do with Paris as there's a height limit.Would be nice for Paris to get two unique e-tickets in a row though.
>>2901690Paris always had this problem. The parks weren't doing well, especially the Studios park, and their solution to add stuff to try and fix it was just copying stuff from the other parks on the cheap.>Not enough people in Disneyland Paris? Quickly slap Buzz Lightyear in there, that'll hold them over for another two decades>Also let's ruin our actually unique Space Mountain by slapping the same Star Wars theme on it, which is even worse here cause it completely clashes with the theming of the area>Studios is fucked, quickly, add a worse version of Avenger's Campus and put in Webslingers>Also lazily retheme Rock 'n Rollercoaster to make it worse>Let's add a Frozen area, just copy the Hong Kong one except only build like half of it>And put in the inferior Frozen ride despite the fact a newer, way better version already existsSo fucking stupid. Their original plan after Frozen was copying Galaxy's Edge, but again a smaller, worse version that wouldn't even have Rise of the Resistance. Thank god they finally figured out they need exclusive shit so they're adding Lion King. Similarly, according to the rumors the Star Wars area next to Discoveryland would be its own thing, with a completely unique bike speeder coaster. Let's hope they learned their lesson.
>>2901594They were strongly considering getting rid of him entirely in the 2010s. They had the Inside Out pitch (which Docter himself seemed to shut down) but also a Phineas and Ferb pitch and IIRC a Muppets one.Think it took them a reminder of what happened last time to stall doing so and plans went elsewhere, then eventually the popcorn bucket happens and it becomes undoable overall because attempting to remove that level of money maker will get you fired when the shareholders yell at you like last time
>>2901719I think covid and Star Wars flopping elsewhere made them do an emergency rethink. Still don't know why they waited for Avengers to be finished before starting properly on Frozen though.The park seems to be roughly where they want it, especially after Lion King and Up open, making it a genuine full day park for the first time. The financials indicated a significant increase in visitor numbers so they could be getting close to the 3rd gate requirement when Lion King opens.Seems they've put the new hotels on hold after filling the space for them with solar panels but that could be temporary. They've just started building a new road which hints at them looking to boost traffic handling to where the 3rd gate would go.

from yesterday's earnings announcement. disneyland avatar is neither a land, area, or attraction. it's just an "experience"
>>2901812My guess it they've scaled back the land and it's just a single ride with a nice facade.
>>2901812Who can get excited about this crap
>>2901812"Experience" is the term they've always used iirc, but I don't get why they're being so vague about it

>>2901815A lot of rumors it's been scrapped or will be scrapped due to space limitations/money etc. Other rumors are that it's so early in development that it'll be close to a decade before it's open. In my head canon Josh realized it was a dumb and gay idea and they're doing something in that section that will make more thematic sense. Yes I'm retarded for thinking that.
Montezooma at Knotts reopened today
>>2901821They spent $20 million and almost 5 years renovating a 1970s shuttle loop and still gave it bulky OTSRs. Could've gotten a new one for way less than that
>>2901826It's wild that they spent about the same as it cost to build Hyperia. How the fuck did it cost so much?
>>2901827Didn't the original contractor screw up big time? That was the idea I got. Perhaps they burned a few million that way before having to find another company to do it. But even so, it's not a complex ride and the structure, station, and services are already there. Even California's regulatory overhead wouldn't drive up the cost that much.
Disney chads how we feeling about next week?? Is our boy Josh going to come through in the clutch and deliver some new mind blowing experiences?
>SFGAm is finally getting its kids area restored and properly themedIt's a good start. Here's hoping they keep up the beautification of the park.Please change the DC area back into Yankee Harbor.
>>2901970Nah.But you might get a photo op with an animatronic that won't make it to the parks, a Lorcana promo card, and a commemorative pin.
>>2901789The real estate that's there (taking into acount that the Sinbad theatre was razed) is larger than Suessland, basically the same footprint as Toon Lagoon and Marvel (individually). It's less cramped than Mario in California at least.
Bros, I just had a brilliant idea. You know how people toss around the idea of Universal making a Great Movie Ride style attraction that takes you through scenes from Universal movies that used to have attractions in the park? They usually talk about Ghostbusters and Jaws and Back to the Future, but there used to be an Alfred Hitchcock attraction as well, and Universal does own the rights to many of his classic movies. Psycho would be the most popular one, but imagine a KUKA arm ride that takes you into the tower from Vertigo and then it points you straight down and you see the stairs physically stretch
>>2901738Yeah, gas costs $4.25 a gallon and groceries are an entire paycheck.No one can afford Six Flags
>>2901738>>2901987It's really that simple. Entertainment is one of the first things people cut back on when money gets tight.
Incorrect. Disney World just posted a 3% attendance increase for the quarter Sux Flags was sucking last year anyway. Disney doing that good is a great indication the economy is doing amazing
>>2901350Calling Mission: Space the most intense ride is pretty misleading. It just min-maxes pushing you into your seat. What I hate is being pushed out of my seat or pushed into the restraints making me feel like I'm hanging by a thread. I hate extreme coasters and I'm too chicken to go on most of them but I could ride Mission space 10 times in a row. I don't understand the complaining that even thoosies can't stomach it.
>>2901993>What I hate is being pushed out of my seat or pushed into the restraints making me feel like I'm hanging by a thread.I love that feeling. Positive Gs aren't as fun
>>2901812How about they theme Avengers Campus to something that doesn't look completely soulless. How the fuck do you go from Cars Land to that honestly.
>>2901996How about no more capeshit in the first place
>>2901742every faggot on distwitter hates tom corless' guts but they never explain why>>2901970The obvious, popular, simple, long-awaited, stress-free, unobstructive, heavily rumored slam dunk of redoing figment has like a 50% chance of finally dropping. Not that I'm confident in them specifically announcing it this year but because it seems less likely that they wait for the next parks expo to do it (and if they have any brains they will announce the refurb at a d23).Personally I don't even care about Figment, I'm a zoomer so the ride was never good in my lifetime. Figment himself is an IP of his own now but ultimately it's an original IP attraction getting redone like fans have been begging so I'm interested if Imagineering is finally allowed to cook on something with no limits.
>>2901996>Avengers>Not being completely soullessThis is an impossible task
>>2901990Glad to know Disney can continue going full steam ahead with their wokeification of everything Walt held dear and still get the shareholders' approval!
>>2901996>Let's add another land, how should we make it look?>How about a bunch of grey concrete?>You're a fucking genius BobI know it was inevitable they would force capeshit into the parks (ironically as people were already getting tired of it), but good god they could've done literally anything other than "grey"
Anyone been to lost island? Worth a two and a half hour drive? I've been thinking about just randomly driving there one of these weekends. I haven't been to a park in a couple of years and am craving it. The closest six flags is only like an hour and a half but I have grown tired of those crowds
>>2902009A few thoosies in this general have been there, they liked it
>>2902009It's small but pretty cozy. The SLC is garbage but the launch coaster and raptor are great. The dark ride is very good, and the flat ride selection is solid.In all honesty it's largely a half day park, but I've made several 4 hour trips to it just because my wife and I like how charming it is.
>>2902009they should buy arieforce one
>>2902015In all likelihood that Wild Moose RMC sold is going to them. Can easily see the "We Dug Too Deep" teasers becoming their answer to Adventureland's Underground.
>>2902009Very glad new theme parks are opening up but wish they would have some more tree canopy. I get old growth trees cost an arm and a leg but...
>>2902021They really do need vegetation to split parks up. I don't like being able to see clear across a park from inside it plus all the shitty back areas they seldom try to conceal anymore.
>>2901987>>2901988You can buy an annual pass to six flags with the change in your couch. People can afford Six Flags. But that’s part of the issue - Six Flags has such a poor offering that it has to give away entry and parking free, so it’s very hard for them to break even. Quite common for chains that loaded up on B&Ms.
The Bright Sun Travels guy went to Disneyland Paris and stayed at one of their hotels, and what I'm seeing in this video actually shocks me. The shit quality of this hotel would be unacceptable anywhere, let alone a Disney resort. Watching this makes me not want to visit the place at all if this is how little they care about it. https://youtu.be/JYgOnhKpMXs?is=F_6IopoqaPZQPyLG
>>2902080Jesus. A friend of mine stayed there a while ago and said it was great, but I'm pretty sure this was right after the renovations from a while back. Crazy to see how bad it got. I think they're just putting all their eggs into making Studios not shit, but because of this the other parts of the resort are not getting the care they need. I don't remember seeing anything quite this bad last time I was there tho.
>>2902080Hard to argue with anything in that really, only thing I would say is that he's literally doing the vid right as they're starting a big renovation. Most of the hotels have seen big improvements since Disney took over, especially the New York one. The Sequia Lodge had similar maintenence issues but overall was a pretty comfy hotel before the refurb (and has the best buffet with game dishes and Raclette).Newport Bay has always been a bit awkward, not really justifying its price tag. It's designed as a convention hotel which is why the Disney-ness is much lower key. One thing the video doesn't mentioned is that the extremely long corridors + hollow floorboards means you'll get a lot of noise from kids running down the hallways. I suspect a big reason for the low reviews in the food would be down to the menus being very fish focused which rarely goes down well with kids.Most of the hotels were designed in the 90s and Eisner was focused on getting as many rooms as possible (they were massively over capacity) which is why they all kinda have small rooms and why the pricetag was "how nice the hotel exterior and how close it is to the park" determined the price rather than the facilities. They were allegedly building 2 new hotels, one budget, one luxury, possibly surrounding the third gate but they've just put in plans for a solar far in that area which means that won't happen any time soon.
I narrowly missed /ourgirl/ AGAIN. My SDC trip isn’t until Monday and Tuesday.
im going to make a coaster channel on youtube and just be as annoying as i can as my personality any tips?
>>2902080Thought it was funny seeing that video because TimTracker was recently at that hotel (sponsored/compensated) about a month ago and you can see similar wear and tear in their video but they didn't comment on it.I'd still be really interested in checking out Disneyland Paris park but I don't need the "Disney bubble" the same way I'd need it at WDW>>2902162scream like Goofy in all your POVs or edit in loud music over top

>>2902166"Nightmare before Christmas" worshipping millenial women are to blame
>>2902165>edit in loud music over topnah no edits allowed would have to sneak on some kind of stereo system
>>2902146W-what's he gonna do when he finds her?
>>2902162Start every video with a 10 second build up to the "money shot" bit of the ride but then cut away and don't show the actual bit of the ride until 23 minutes in.And fill Twitter and youtube shorts with those same 10 seconds but at the end do a bass heavy tune with zoom cuts to different shots in time with the beat.
>>2902170Ask her favorite bible verse ofc
>>2902165Yeah the fact there is a train station literally at the entrance of the park makes staying inside the "bubble" a moot point. You can get way cheaper hotels just one station over in Val d'Europe and get to the park within 5 minutes.
>>2902146She only rides with El Toro (Translation: The Bull) Ryan
>>2901970This is the explanation year for the stuff announced in 2024.>Tropic Americas will be as expected which is an upgrade>Monsters Inc is what you expect as well but also they say what that show is>Nothing can make Cars look good>Villains is probably going to be insanely toned down and kiddified making the effort pointless>Coco is Gran Fiesta downgraded with that new Pirates animatronic technology>Keep forgetting the Avengers attraction exist because it will be so bland.The only realistic surprise that would hype people is Imagination. Spaceship Earth might happen but most people will probably be pissed they are changing everything then anything. DL park #3 is too earlyUnless they throw an entirely left curve announcement, which then will turn into a debate into what they are demolishing to add that
what the fuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Y0oEvEpRw
I appreciate that they have the seat on display here. I also appreciate the handlebars because inevitably people are going to instinctively grab onto something for dear life
>>2902225Cars Land isnt great but at least theyre making it fit to Frontier Land as best they canVillains Land though should be an extension of Fantasy Land or Adventure Land depending on what the rides are.I really hope it has a significant one of a kind ride to make these questionable decisions worth it
>>2902235They've got one of these in Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It's as rough as you'd expect. First looping coaster in Europe, approaching 50 years old.Here's a funny old vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfgqsenuwpoAnd some less funny backstory (this was on Jim'll fix it)>Kevin Cook was nine years old when his cub scout group appeared on Jim'll Fix It in the 1970s. Jimmy Savile lured him into a BBC dressing room, abused him, and told him no one would believe him because he was "King Jimmy".
>>2902280Villains Land needs to be their Epic Universe beater.Needs a dark ride on par with MoM or Monsters Unleashed and maybe an SFX coaster (or some completely new system). I think they're very limited on space for that though, possibly only space for one E-ticket. They should try to make another Fantasy land low footprint dark ride or two but figure out a way to get the capacity up.
>>2902239The trains are making all the differenceGoing floorless makes it go from momentarily interesting gimmick coaster to probably most insane coaster ever
>>2901738Six Flags needs to split the chain in half and put Cedar Point, Kings Island, Canada’s Wonderland, Knott’s, Kings Dominion, Schliterbahn, Dorney and Carowinds into a separate company called Cedar Fair. The merged company is worth 1/4 of the combined pre merger value. CF wasn’t doing great but this merger is a death sentence for them and it’s negatively impacting Cedar Point. At the very least Cedar Point should spin off into its own entity separate from Six Flags. I know the merged company is basically Cedar Fair anyways but those legacy Six Flags parks are cursed. They’re going to go bankrupt and all these parks are going to become jewish land lease scams. The worst outcome. Sell the legacy Six Flags parks to SeaWorld for nothing, just exchange some debt
>Now, I DO have to mention that this park used to have a land themed to the Confederate States of America. It's not there anymore, but I don't think we can simply let that slide.
>>2902353????what is there to slide? was it a mistake to build it? if so what changed in the very short time frame from opening to now?if its to do with a themed area being related to pro-slave ideology, does this mean all Greek themed areas are up for removal?
>>2902403No one really identifies with the Greek slaves, but black people still identify with American slaves.
>>2902403>He thinks arguing with them can serve a fruitful purposeJust ignore those kinds of people and move on. Pretty good chance it's P.E. making those posts. Only way to win is not to take the bait.
>>2902405>but black people still identify with American slavesI see. Poseidon Entertainment is black?
>>2902410He sounds white.
>>2902405Speak for yourself, I personally am Spartacus
>>2902280>>2902326I fear that the Villains land maleficent coaster will be on the level of slinky dog in terms of theming, wait times, and thrill level. My only hope for an imagineering gem lies with the "secondary" ride that hasn't been revealed. There might be a well themed premium table service restaurant that is like a Villainous version of the one inside of Cinderella Castle. Moody dark atmosphere and a villain occasionally comes out to interact with tables. In fact I would almost guarantee that.
>>2902353Why is his voice so goddamn soothing. No homo.Also why does he emphasize flags when saying “six FLAGS”.

>>2902165Disney was infiltrated by Wokies which in destructiveness to sanitation and cleanliness is equivalent to hiring an Indian CEO.
>>2902416A table service and a quick service place doing ultra themed stuff is most likely. All the table service places in Magic Kingdom fill up lightning fast so they must want to boost capacity.

Lots of good seating for people to come and relax by the pool while the teenagers run around. The mountain views were also special.

>Oh I hate modern Disney, Walt would be rolling in his grave>But I would never ever ever ever stop going to the parks and consuming their mediaWhat causes "people" to be like this?
>>2902626literally me
>>2902583I like Blizzard Beach's attractions and wave pool more but Typhoon has a better theme and layout
>>2902625If a "trend" against Indians is happening that is a good thing that I'm proud to be a part of.
>>2902626Because the essence of what he stood for is still there in remnants. The customer service culture, the original designs of the older rides, and the characters. Liberals hate Disney for just that reason: it brings joy to children and families. It celebrates Western values and innovation. No Infiltration can completely erase that.
>>2902636I actually loved BB theming though it has been a good decade since I've been there. I actually prefer Typhoon's wave pool. I love how deep it is. I'm very curious about Volcano Bay. It has very high reviews and looks really unique. I'm surprised that Disney hasn't beat them in the water park arena.
>>2902641The aqua coaster at Volcano Bay is probably the best water slide of all time. And yeah the place has a really wonderful vibe overall. Nice place pace to just be.
>>2902626There is still a ridiculous amount of soul at the parks/on the resort. Similar to what >>2902639 that anon said, it is Americana personified. Yes nuDis is an empty husk of itself filled with God hating liberals trying to rape the parks, but as long as there's touches of my nigga Walt there I will still go and enjoy it.

There are only two coasters in the history of ACE Landmark coaster awards that never accepted their award and hung their plaque>Big Dipper at Geauga Lake, because the park shut down before they could do so>Matterhorn at Disneyland, because Disney does not want to support history and community only profitWhy are Disneyfags so soulless?
>>2902917It's not about the money. It's about sending a message.
>>2902838Summer officially ends on September 22.
>>2902917That sounds like headcanon. The real reason is likely because they want top notch theming and don’t want to even acknowledge that the Matterhorn is a roller coaster. They do this on Slinky Dog Dash too. My dad asked the operator how many trains they had running and she replied “we have four dogs.” Dogs, not trains, because you really are riding the dog from Toy Story.Also Disney knows they had the first steel coaster. They don’t need the cargo shorts wearers of ACE telling them that.
>>2902917I've always wondered if they have the plaque hanging in one of the ride offices or something
>>2902924>Also Disney knows they had the first steel coaster.It wasn't the first, but it was the first successful one
>>2902932Plot twist: the reason Disney doesn't display the ACE plaque is because they know about the tubular steel coaster in Europe that opened earlier

>>2902838>track installation began September 2024>track installation completed April 2025funny how long its took for construction of this ride in California when the Orlando coaster is likely going to open by spring break 2027, including removal of HRRR. Much less time in production. Cant say its all because of some noise barriers. Id say Hollywood F&F was cursed from the start
>>2902875She should be the OP of the next thread.
>>2902949I believe there were also issues with the ride vehicles to work out as well. The timeline stretches out longer if you consider that the shows it replaced closed in January 2023, so well over a year of land prep from building on a hillside.
>>2902956Yeah with the swing launch, spike and transfer track I imagine there is more to go wrong at Orlando. I still think spring break 2027 is a realistic opening. It’s over 7 months away. I think velocicoaster had a longer duration from track completion to opening but I doubt F&F will have the level of theming

>>2903063I am actually scared to go to parks too often to avoid getting too used to the forces.
>>2903065Shit I might be already there lol. I’ll be hitting my 50th park this year next week.
>>2903064Yeah she wears short shorts. Not daisy dukes or hot pants short though. Interesting how standards for conservative girls change. I knew a real conservative Pakistani girl who never wore anything that came above the knee, even when playing sports in the summer heat. She would do that in calf length cargo pants.
>>2903063Take a break and don't ride coasters then? Maybe you grew out of them?
>>2903065>I am actually scared to go to parks too often to avoid getting too used to the forces.This is crazy anon, just go and enjoy them while you can. Eventually age, your job, a family, and other obligations will creep into your life and you won't be able to attend parks as often as you wished you could.In my 20s I had a season pass to a mid-sized park and went about every other day, I'd try to hit it at opening during the week, when almost no one was there. Rode coasters for a couple of hours, got my fill, and I headed out by lunchtime. I do not think you can get desensitized to them. I never did. They're still fun after the dozenth time and I didn't come close to a point where my enjoyment waned. Besides, the winter closure gives you a little reset.Unironically don't worry about it. If it happens (I think it won't), you can deal with it then. I wish I could go back to living a few miles from a park and a job with hours that let me enjoy it. I'm about 2 hours from the nearest park now.
>>2903071>visiting every other day>when almost no one is in the parkThis is my dream. I'm not too big on coasters but I'd love to spend quality time riding and re-riding dark rides so I can autistically document every single little detail. Unfortunately I am married with young children so the soonest I can commit to wasting a month riding dark rides on end is 2043. Don't want to think about how many nice rides (or even whole theme parks) are going to be closed by then...
>>2903069How long should the break be
>>2903074Until you feel an unstoppable urge to continue riding coasters? And if it lasts the remainder of your life then so be it?
>>2903073LA or Orlando would be the cities for you then.
>>2903074You're letting your anxiety control you too much
>>2903076I've also heard good things about dark rides in Europe and Tokyo DIsney. But yeah, it's going to be a very long time before I can drop everything for a month and go full dark ride autismo. Maybe by then I'll have hoarded enough shekels to make my own dark ride.
>>2903075I did feel that. I think the problem might be is that I’ve ridden almost every elite American coaster (and will have ridden all of them by the end of next week) that I’m only impressed by the best now. I also might be more of a themechad and a thoosie so mostly unthemed coasters only impress me if they’re elite.
>>2903071I think I'm going to start going more often. I only became an enthusiast more recently, but I live in a fantastic area. I'm not super close to anything, but I'm relatively close to a lot. I'm two hours away from Dollywood, three hours from Carowinds, five hours from Six Flags Over Georgia, four and a half hours from Kings Dominion, five hours from Busch Gardens Williamsburg, five hours from Kentucky Kingdom, five and a half hours from Kings Island, six hours from Holiday World, six hours from Kennywood, and I've only been to like half of those. My only issue is that I really hate long lines so I don't want to go on weekends, and I also usually have to take my PTO as an entire week, and not just a day here and there, so I have to take longer trips all at once typically rather than taking a trip for a few days. But maybe I'm going to have to start buying the fast lane, because I live near so many excellent parks and I do want to start taking better advantage of that.
>>2903082Fastlane is why I dread returning to Cedar Point. Haven't been in well a over a decade and even then during the week, lines weren't very short. As others have said, FL is a basic requirement there now even on weekdays. I've never used a line skipping system before, I view them as a ripoff cash extraction mechanism above all else. And I don't want to start using them, but it sounds like I'd have to at the Point. Still want to return though.
>>2903083Yeah Cedar Point intimidates me. For next year the all season Fast Lane add-on is $1,200 and they just closed the loophole where you couldn't buy an all season Fast Lane from a smaller park and use it on Cedar Point. Seems like they're trying to discourage too many people from using it, which is good. Still costs a ton. I don't know what they do to solve the problem of too many people in the park, since that's kind of what they want. It's a regional park that has become a destination park but is still operated like a regional park.
>>2903058Because they can't, because Disney got rid of the rule saying they can't de facto discriminate against people with visible tattoos.
>>2903078>tfw riding laff trakk for an hour straightFeels good to not have a wife.
>>2903082All season fast lane will probably be $500 this upcoming year. That’ll help you with the six flags near you, especially KI on weekends
>>2903084I’m just gonna buy it per day for my next CP visits. I only went two days per year this year and that was plenty with FL.
>>2903087Alas, if I divorce and fork over child support, I'm still not going to be able to afford to live out my dark ride dreams with abandon. Better suck it up and stick it out. Who knows? Maybe there will be some more dark rides at the end of it! (Unlikely but I gotta have some hopium.)
>>2903077I have anxiety no more

>>2903171Because it was already on the Star Wars overlay and it's very notable them removing it just before D23.There is one possibility that would be the ultimate troll:"It's no longer the old Star Wars theming... say hello to the Mandalorion And Grogu Space mountain"

>>2903276>>2903278Yeah, seriously. Who gives a shit, they had their chance to make Star Wars Land work and fucked it up.
Is there any reason for me to be at MCO more than an hour before my domestic flight home on a Wednesday night if I have TSA PreCheck and I’m not checking a bag? I have Frontier Go Wild and HHN Frequent Fear so I’m trying to work out weekly notel trips for HHN. I also have UOAP so I can do Stay & Scream every time. I’ll pay for the hotel and fly back Thursday if I have to on any given week but I’d rather just boogie on outta there early every Wednesday after doing a handful of houses, so that extra hour makes a big difference.
>>2903282I don't get the point of spinning. It's not more fun or scarier, just more nauseating. They seem to be really popular though.
Zootopia skeptics were talking out of their ass as expected
>he doubted the way of water
Encanto confirmed as a trackless
>>2903289I don't understand why so many retards weren't expecting this. Have they not seen the movie or have basic knowledge of what happens in it
>>2903289Am I the only one who really hates trackless?
>>2903291No. But I'm not on your side. Ratatoullie is the only one I've been on that sucks. I'll even defend mickey mouse runaway railway. Trackless is very powerful when utilized effectively. Problem is that it usually results in much less propping and theming
>>2903275>themed>B&M???
>>2903293Yes
>>2903294No. They make unthemed rides for budget parks, not themed rides for premium parks.
>>2903296Interesting but incorrect point; I maintain yes.
>>2903303Also all of B&M’s family coasters suck. Vekoma, Intamin and Mack are all way better.

>>2903286That boat ride better be a lot better than the one in Orlando
>>2903291I don't hate it, but I do find it largely pointless most of the time. It seems like every trackless ride in the US parks is 95% stuff that could be done with a track and 5% gimmick to justify being trackless. When a ride actually utilizes the system to its fullest like Hunny Hunt or Beauty and the Beast, it's pretty cool.

>>2903398It was surprising to my mom last time we went to Volcano Bay. Even a lot of the employees have their asses out. (Don't tell her but I loved it)
>>2903292>I'll even defend mickey mouse runaway railwaydo people not like runaway railway? i thought it was alot of fun
>>2903407People don't like it because it's not as good as the ride it replaced. If it was built in a new building I don't think anybody would have a problem with it.
>>2903407It's a good ride. It just replaced a classic so there's a bit of bitterness to it.
>>2903408>>2903409I never got to ride the great movie ride and I feel like a missed out
>>2903410It was the truly one of the greatest rides ever and something only Disney could pull off. Literally oozing soul. Videos on YouTube don't do it justice. I'll never not be mad they replaced it.
>>2903333>>2903398I like how at water parks it’s socially acceptable for girls to wear what is essentially sexy lingerie.
>>2903423I wonder if Katie wears bikinis or if she sticks to one pieces with a skirt attached
>>2903423I haven't been to the Orlando water parks yet. They're heavily influenced by island cultures.
>>2903418Do you think Universal Studios might attempt something similar? They have enough IP's to try.
>>2903282The actual vehicles in Tokyo pretty clearly seem to be spinning... Which means that model is for another Space Mountain
>>2903438Could they? Perhaps.I don't think there's enough room at any existing park for one.
>>2903444How about the new Disney in the middle east? They have boatloads of money and clearly someone there leans towards thoosies.
>>2903282>>2903442For comparisson, the current Space Mountain Paris cars

>>2903457No and I've looked
New for 2027 POV from Silver Dollar City:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD3QFjI9nxUThis is Thunderation's replacement, made by Mack. And even from the rendering it looks like a worthy heir to one of the last, crazier Arrow mine trains. Two lifts, a station fly-through, a long enough tunnel with a dip in it. The 150' tall mine headgear was salvaged from an actual mine, and it's just there for theming. Looks really fun and I'm glad they're doing a like-for-like replacement of their mine train.Disneycels can enjoy their tracked car ride that opens uhhh lol whenever
>>2903458Sad. But yeah I would think one piece swimsuits at her most provocative.
>>2903463B&M sisters… when are we going to eat again…
>>2903463That's a nice addition. I really need to go there at some point. I love Dollywood and SDC looks just as good.
>>2903469Dollywood is superior in every single possible way don't worry
>>2903405Look anon, it's fine if you hate it, but Encanto was most definitely a success. There's a reason this is getting a ride and not Raya or Strange New Worlds.
>Sources: EPCOT's Imagination Pavilion Redevelopment Plans Approvedhttps://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/imagination/news/14aug2026-sources-epcot-s-imagination-pavilion-redevelopment-plans-approved.htm
>>2903463Looks fun, seems like there's a good chunk of sustained air/floater time. Ride experience will change massively from front to back though.
>>2903482I like that because Thunderation probably gave a lot of riders more than they bargained for. Looks like a dinky mine train with shallow drops, but it's forceful in its own way lol. I'm hopeful their new coaster will feel that way too, and now with a generous 39" minimum height
>>2903289Nope they're using Zeirer's ride system https://www.zierer.com/en/products/advanced-dark-rides-1/model-lConfirmed by shipping records to Florida. Tracked Spider-man style. Odd they're not using the tech from Peter-pan or Avengers. Hopefully it isn't a shooting ride...
>>2903470Dollywood is only slightly better overall. SDC is superior in caves, crowds, comedy, and arguably has the best coaster in Time Traveler (though I prefer Blazing Fury myself).
>>2903486It’s a good ride from middle seats but the front or the back of the car is rough. Sad they’re getting rid of it, but I think it being the best mine train sealed its fate. The smaller mine trains get to stick around because even though they can be rough, they’re slow enough that it doesn’t matter.
Oh Merlin....
Somehow... Tom Sawyer has returned...
>>2903477>he doubted
>>2903499... Are they parodying Epic Universe?
My theory is that the new cars ride will be similar to jungle cruise boats on wheels. Self-propelling and only tracked to steer and stay charged up. Not a traditional or even modified slot car system
Just an absolute mess everywhere. It's like they are intentionally trying to ruin the Magic Kingdom grim
>>2903540That is a lot more closed off than I was expecting
Slightly early but new bread for D23 stuff? Discussion will get lost otherwise.
>>2903558Oh no we'll miss out on the vital disney stuff that won't happen for years or at all!
>>2903592jej and they'll be complaining about it the whole thread
Cedar Point announced higher season pass prices for next year - the Prestige Pass jumped from $199 to $279. But the big news is that season-long Fastlane is now $1,999. I don't know what it was before but the hope is the price increase will lower Fastlane usage to alleviate clogging lines up. It looks like that was a major problem this season and last at CP.Cedar Point also said they closed the loophole that was allowing people to buy less expensive season passes/season Fastlane from cheaper outlying SF parks then using them at Cedar Point.
>>2903592I sure would hate if people talked about the biggest theme parks in the world instead of parking lot coaster 69 at 6 flags over niggerland
>30 seater boatsGuess there won't be a drop at all in this ride
>>2903621Literally more interesting than your miniature land of make believe
>>2903607This is good, but the main problem with Cedar Point's Fast Lane is the merge points. It doesn't matter if you're the only one in the Fast Lane line when it just merges with the main line and you're waiting half an hour regardless.
>>2903558Make sure to make /ourgirl/ the OP
>>2903629Only true for SV and MF, right? Maverick and TT2 merge right at the loading dock. SC isn’t too far away. And there’s nothing else worth riding at CP.
>>2903607You could tell by the pricing they’ve been seething about it all year. All season fast lane for CP was $950 while all season fast lane for all parks was $999. And yes, some parks put the all season all parks fast lane on sale for $500. I believe it was Carowinds and SFOG. People from Atlanta and Charlotte probably made up a small portion of the fast lane users at CP, but I could see a ton of Ohio residents getting a gold pass to Carowinds, buying the all season fast lane, flying to Charlotte, activating the pass, riding Fury a bunch of times, going home, and visiting CP every weekend.
>>2903558Probably should have whatever big announcement be the next op

La Ronde is pretty culturally enriched.
>>2903721What’s the real story with the Yeti anyways? So many people claim structural integrity and how they would have to remove part of the mountain to fix it. Meanwhile in reality it’s near ground level and there is a door behind it that they’ve pulled it out into to clean the hair and what not. I have seen a backstage picture that had an X on the ground saying yeti zone. Whatever that meant. Seems to me the only thing wrong with the fixing the Yeti was the lack of budget
A shuttle style custom Wild Moose is going to Lost Island, called Forbidden Lair. The Buwago creatures that dug out the lair were shown off in marketable plushie form at the park's announcement event, being green burrowing wolf like creatures covered in crystal protrusionshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTKsR0G9AAY
>>2903885Wasn't expecting the first wild moose to be a shuttle coaster.
>>2903881The mechanism that moves the yeti is the problem and its massive. If the foundation issue was true they would have to find a way to dismantle what is probably a 3 story contraption to re-do the floor. The thing generates a lot of force so there mightve been issues with it damaging other parts of the structure.
>>2903887I’m pretty sure the Yeti structure is separate from both the coaster and mountain. They’re 3 separate structures by design.
>>2903881>>2903887>>2903894I think the entire story was never fully disclosed and what the company has told people over the years is just the part they want us to know. Not that it's a supreme secret of state, just that parks normally hold back a lot of information even when it feels like they've told you a lot. It would not surprise me if the actual truth is more convoluted than the public narrative is. Combine that with Disneytards speculating and "factualizing" the same way thoosies do; I would take anything I've heard about the thing with a grain of Himalayan salt.
>>2903881They always have the budget for it. They could have done it at any point since 2006.What does not matter is what was the fault with the Yeti itself, outside that they need to work inside the superstructure and potentially take parts of it down to fix it. What matters is that no one wanted to accept blame and bite the bullet to fix it. Imagineering did not want to admit they made a faulty animatronic, park officials did not want to admit their maintenance of it failed, and main leadership did not want to admit any fault publicly over this which they would have by having to take the ride down to fix the costly big animatronic that blew it after 6 monthsIt took someone far away from this drama becoming CEO to tell them to stop it and get it fixed, and only because it blossomed so hard into this community meme that it has become a good PR move to actually do it
>>2897876Why are there so many nonwhites & methies in Tampa
>>2903886Yeah. Is it even a wild moose? It’s a family ibox shuttle coaster. Looks like they built a shuttle prototype of the moose and sold it to Lost Island
>>2903880How so? Local here who had it as my only visited theme park until this very year.
>>2903885I kinda dislike this trend of family shuttles with no outstanding showpiece elements. This is probably going to be fun enough and it's going to suprise families with the strong airtime but outside of the ends it's going through the motions a bit. So many of these coasters are like the quick money earners you build in RCT to cheese it.Merlin to give them some (rare) credit have built two shuttle coasters and both of them avoid this. Minifigure Speedway is a racing coaster with neatly designed interactions, Jumanji is a wing coaster with babbies first inversion and a cool centrepiece.
>>2903941Lots of blacks, natives (I think) land various Asians (west, east, and south).

>>2903732The people in charge now don't actively hate the parks so that's good I guess. D23 kind of sucked but there wasn't anything that was actively offensive like we've seen in the past. I think Cars in frontierland wouldn't have happened under Josh and I get the distinct impression that Avatar in DCA is going to get cancelled (which is good because it's retarded and whatever they want to put there should be moved to AK). Seems they've finally realized that if they put any effort into the parks at all they'll continue to print money with them and the parks contribute way more good will for the company than any of their gay movies do. I expect the parks to be in a way better spot in 10 years than they ever were under Iger.
>>2903909At this point I think "Wild Moose" is just the general term RMC uses for any family ibox. Weird to see an RMC coaster with normal supports though
>>2903714unironically good casting, i dont get the issue
>>2904031>>2904031>>2904031
>>2903965Not actually sure how many natives we have that hangs in the cities, now that I think about it. But the rest is true.
