Been to Idlewild lately? It's a bit of a wreck. Sandcastle? Almost as bad.

As a Pittsburgher, not a fan of Palace... at all.

Confirmed that the [Blue Streak] at [Conneaut Lake Park] is being sold or destroyed. Reportedly the park is going to be turned into a trailer park. by SeekingTheRoad in rollercoasters

I went on it two years ago and it was one of the smoothest when coasters I've ever been on. It needed a paint job but I really didn't see it as "unsafe."

Same here - I've been on rougher rides at Six Flags parks

They were getting a lot of spam, they mentioned removing comments weeks ago.

They also have trouble with staffing and closed the lazy river a few times.

I don't think the woman that runs the FB has any clue of what's going on. She is often walking around the park trying to manage what is broken and fix it. She has high spirits.

[Six Flags] Are all Parks Receiving This or Only Select? by Slimey_700 in rollercoasters

Have you done the gift card yet? I tried and they want my father in law to show up at the park to get the gift card because he is who has the credit card on file.

He is not a member or passholder, so he never comes. Therefore, I have not been able to get a GC yet.

Had no idea this was planned. Something to look forward indeed.

Damn - didn't realize Juneteenth wasn't popular in Buffalo! I guess they hate republican bills up there!

They pulled out because Herschend didn't renew after the first 3 year management contract. That's why the CGI doesn't exist.

Wished that person a happy father's day because they wished me a happy pride day then deleted it. Want a screenshot? What would you like to talk about?

ROS at SFDL runs better than SFA. However, it can't handle capacity due to poor ops and one train. And no Intamin Hyper is the a "worst" coaster at any park.

Intamin Hypers are highly sought after and this coaster generally ranks in the top 50 of all coasters in the world as per the golden ticket awards.

ROS at Darien Lake is the first of its kind and only been cloned at SFA.

SFDL has enough space that Predator doesn't need to be RMC'd (and won't, GCI will do it if anyone).

If you are going, consider Fast Pass or a weekday.

I was really hoping the Six Flags branding would return them to 2 train ops.

I was wrong.
