i just wanted to say, as someone who works at valleyfair, excalliburr is NOT planned to be removed anytime soon. the park just spent 2-4 mil on it for a whole new pannel. excallibur was also built to wistand flooding. its not going anywhere. i have talked to raul (park manager) and he also confirmed that excallibur is not planned for removal and not even on the radar.

Video idea: A baseball theme, “3 Strikes, You’re Out”. A countdown of parks with the 3 worst coasters. Plus a follow-up , “Grandslam” a countdown of parks with 4 top coasters. Like 3 hits and a home run of a coaster. Maybe around World Series time it can be made. 👍🏻

Buy or sell: the six flags / cedar point merge will have “regional” passes (ex: “northeast pass” that grants you seasonal access to Great adventure, dorney park & New England but not magic mountain bc it’s in the west)

I was at kings island over the weekend and saw someone in handcuffs in camp snoopy. Rumor has it he sat his kid over the fence to get his phone from under woodstocks air rail. This was just the story I got from people who were at the scene and it has not been on any of our local news outlets so far. From what I heard, No one was injured thankfully. If true I’d say a change will be on the horizon at least at KI.

Been on banshee like 5 times since the accident. Nothing has changed. I feel like they wouldn't have reopened if they were changing things.

Buy or sell: We will finally get an inversion over 200 feet in the air within the next 5 years.

RE Great Escape : I rode Steamin’ Demon yesterday. It start to show it's age. It short and it's rough. Replace it with a Raptor clone and this park would be perfect. It's the perfect model for this park **chef kiss**

Buy or Sell: Gravity Group starts doing stalls on their coasters.

Buy or sell: The rip ride rocket will become part of minion land USA.

Voltron is Mack's most complete coaster, but ride to happiness is just such a fun ride experience it can't be topped personally. But they're quite literally my 1 and 2 over the 150+ coasters I've done in the US, including almost every elite coaster east of the mississippi.

i had just left kings island and i wake up the next day at my house, hearing the guy got hit by banshee, we were talking about raptors incident on the drive back home

Valleyfair park gm Raul has told me that he does not have any plans to remove Excalibur until there is a worthy replacement in that plot of land. Which with it being in a floodplain, wouldn’t make sense to build a new coaster there. He also said that Steel Venom will be around as long as they can get/make parts for it. He said the holding brake will stay as long as Steel Venom is around as well. He did point out that the old Dinosaurs Alive plot is perfect for a new coaster, and they have more land besides that! Cedar Fair had big plans for Valleyfair, and I don’t see that being changed! Excalibur, Steel Venom, and High Roller all have gotten new systems within the last few years. Valleyfair has more money and potential than everyone thinks!

I'm personally going to buy adding more metal detectors because I see parks in general going for the easy "fix", but I _want_ to sell it, because a better option would be to put in climb-proof fencing of some sort to keep people out of the ride areas. If people are able to climb those fences then that tells me the fences are insufficient.

I went to Kings Island today, didn’t seem like there wasn’t too many changes, other than maybe them deciding not to use the train that hit the guy because most rides were running 3 trains but not banshee so that was weird

Buy or sell: the vakoma track found at six flags Mexico is the vakoma tilt coaster that energylandia was going to get

Best thing to do if you lose something. Go to guest services and they will retrieve it if possible when the park closes. I’ve lost my wallet and have had family lose other items and got a call almost every time saying they found it and just had it mailed to me if I wasn’t in the area.

Buy or Sell: Kings Island’s next coaster is made by Vekoma

But or sell: New York New York Hotel and Casino will call in Premier Rides or another manufacturer to re-track the Big Apple Coaster

Super glad to see the holiday world one here. Thanks!

We went to valley Fair for the first time in June and my son and I both felt that Excalibur was the best coaster there. I'd hate to see it go away.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="605">10:05</a> I like the pun there lol 😂

Buy or sell: a cedar fair park gets a dc themed roller coaster before 2029

They did some extensive trackwork on Boss’s low to the ground turn before the climb into the midcourse brake run last year, and they seemed to replace most, if not all the layers on that section of track, so I can vouch that they are re-tracking it

Buy or Sell: Continuing the Trend of the Smaller Former Cedar Fair Parks, Michigan's Adventure Gets a new coaster in 2025

Buy or Sell: Cedar Fair Six Flags will bring overall improvements to parks.

Buy Or Sell: Kings Dominion Will Build A Major Launch Coaster.

Buy or sell: cedar fair relocates rail blazer to kings island, flight deck to kings dominion, and patriot is going to valley fair. Dorney just got iron menace so they’re not getting railblazer

Buy or Sell: The six flags/cedar fair merger will delay new coasters even longer for Valleyfair/Michigans adventure.

Buy or sell: with all the upcoming smaller cedar fair/six flags park closures (according to the comments here), the rides get relocated to an as-of-yet unbuilt reimagining of Opryland on the outskirts of Nashville. (Ok, it's a ez sell, but just my dream to have a home park closer than 4 hours 😂).

Vekoma's aren't as cheap as you think with their new stuff, it's not the old Vekoma, The KI total project cost was 10M for a small family/kids coaster.That's probably why US parks haven't been buying much of the new Vekoma stuff, it's not that significantly less than other manufactures. So without a big cost savings like in the past with inexpensive Boomerangs and SLCs, Vekoma aren't the slam dunk to get an inexpensive coaster.

Buy or Sell: Stardust Racers will be the best coaster of 2025

Buy Or Sell: SeaWorld San Diego will get a surf coaster as their next coaster by 2026

Buy or sell: with the new cedar fair and six flags merge, they shut down/back out their contracts with the smaller parks like Frontier City and Darien Lake

The Banshee will probably suffer from the same "loose articles" problem that its neighboring park Cedar Point's Steel Vengeance is gonna face, with people being forced to pay a large sum for a locker to store said loose articles. They're a company first and foremost; I'm sure they'll come up with a sneakier way to successfully pull this off again like last time.

adding onto the restricted area issue, ive seen several people run into the restricted areas at my park. ive had to hit the e-stop before on dragon slayer because people lose their airpods and run into the back area, people jump the fence at monster all the time. its sadly not uncommon.
