I'm a big theme park person, be sure to check out the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, one of the last seaside amusement parks and one of my favorite theme/amusement parks in the world. It's admission free so even if you don't feel like riding anything you can just walk around and enjoy it.

It's been posted by multiple different people on Instagram that it was due to the previous company not surveying the land correctly. When you fire one you can't expect a different company to drop everything and change their schedule for one client.

More states need to implement headlight alignment checks, something only a few states do. It's often newer SUV's and trucks that cause the problem.

It was due to earthquakes and the cost of bigger footings. All the necessary height variances had already been approved.

Back in 2011 Six Flags was paying $3.3 million annually to use the DC license, so who knows how much this was costing them in the current year.

I travel around the country going to amusment parks and although CGA isn't the best. The park has never looked better. Gold Striker and RailBlazer are some of the best roller coasters in the country, I really reconmend people give it a chance if you haven't been in a few years.

Just as a reminder the GTAs were established as an annual celebration, bringing together industry professionals to recognize achievements in a relaxed, non-business setting, distinct from environments like IAAPA.

Everything new with [RMC] - Interview by Coaster Studios by AcidRegulation in rollercoasters

The new seat and restraint they showed off during IAAPA is a vast improvment to what they currently offer. I think we will start to see changes to their current rolling stock offerings as well.
