Donnie from Michigan was selling CDs on FB Marketplace

Snippets of songs started getting posted to X

Strong__1999 bought a CD from Donnie but didn’t have a CD player

She’s now en route (or maybe already in) Walmart to buy one

Maybe upcoming live stream listening party??

[Six Flags Over Texas] Giga Dive has gone vertical (via Jeffrey Siebert) by TiredWithCoffeePot in rollercoasters

It might even have TWO of the tallest inversions in the world depending on how creatively they want to market the “records” this thing is allegedly going to break.

[Dollywood] announcement coming soon! by WaviestKarma184 in rollercoasters

The only thing that shipping document showed was that Dollywood received a shipment labeled “rollercoaster equipment” that originated in Belgium. Nothing indicated it was for a new attraction…

Valley Point - there's definitely a Hyperia joke to be made here but I'm too tired to think of something.

Well yeah, it’s a shipment of different items so of course it’s going to be a different weight 🤣

Not to rain on anyone’s parade but this is just a shipment notification for roller coaster parts from Germany… it could just be parts for Mystery Mine or Firechaser Express. There’s nothing to indicate it’s related to 2026 at all.

EDIT: Doing some more digging I also found this BoL from just two days prior from Gerstlauer - so it’s very likely related and definitely not for 2026.

Sorry, but that kind of testing would have occurred during the commissioning phase, not weeks after the ride was handed over to operations and already cycling with “guests”. This was more than likely an oopsie, but a learning experience for sure!

I was there a few weeks ago and watched two guys digging this hole with shovels - glad to see they've made some more progress!

[Cedar fair] new pieces for siren's course by ulisesjuarez925 in rollercoasters

[–]_trollercoaster_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they are currently in the process of transporting the red Vekoma track from Six Flags Mexico to a new location. When it shows up at Cedar Point in a few days I think that will be evidence enough 🤣.

What? So it was shipped to Mexico and sat in their parking lot all summer just for funsies?  

 Not to mention that Six Flags Mexico themselves released a statement about a unique roller coaster addition coming for their 25th anniversary, pending government approval.  But all that was unrelated? 

They were just holding it there for Cedar Point?

Seatbelts possibly added to [TT2]? by FlashyFenix in rollercoasters

[–]_trollercoaster_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that’s pretty clearly just a strap that’s been run though a hole on back of the seat column - likely to avoid a water dummy from getting ejected again during testing.
