    I appreciate all the park updates! Now, replace WCR’s comfort collars with lap bars and seat belts, faster pit stop and increase its speed a little! That would make it awesome! Keep the park improvements coming!!

      I'd welcome the removal of the comfort collars & it doesn't need seatbelts either just the lap bar if the park & manufacturer would allow it of course

      Given that AlpenFury is expected to have no comfort collars AND no seatbelts, and the removed side paneling... I no longer see any justification for comfort collars or seatbelts on these rides! AlpenFury will arguably have the most intense and thrilling elements of all Premier coasters... so if it can do without those annoying features, I really wanna know why the Sky Rocket II coasters and WCR have them. It makes literally zero sense.

    I really want to fly to CA from PA and go to Magic Mt. I see some rides are closed right now… when would be the best time to come when all coasters usually operating and not under maintenance?
    Also… when the time does come the Cedar Fair wants to be petty and rip out X2 and Viper and inevitably re-invent that entire area and/or end of lifespans are met… I hope they go to S&S and they give them an ENTIRE new 4D that’s fast and more action packed like Eijenaika or however you spell it, and maybe also continue on vipers looping legacy with an inversion record from S&S too like Steel Curtain but Vipers layout plus even more inversions. That’s be pretty cool. I wish Great Adventure would bring back Scream Machine like that.

      The best time to go for no crowds is a weekday in January - March before spring break but rides will be closed. However, for the least closures the best time to go is in the summer between Memorial Day weekend & Labor Day weekend as ride closures are less likely but crowds will be higher.
      Replacing X2 with another more modern 4D is likely a very expensive undertaking & one I don’t see the new Six Flags making all told X2 is a 50+ million dollar coaster & a newer larger version would likely exceed that by a large margin I just don’t see the new Six Flags making that kind of investment.

    I feel like Georgia Scorcher will be the last (minus Surf at SeaWorld) stand-up left for how small of a ride it is.

    They need to seriously dress up the scenery around Scream. Flying over a parking lot looks carnivalish and amateur. Put some grass, plant some trees, maybe a small pond. Something.

      Not true. Twisted Collosus isn’t. Even though Ka was removed, I really don’t think X2 will be. I just feel like the Ka backlash would be enough to get them to not remove it for how iconic it is.
