Wish them the best but this is extremely ambitious and I’ll believe it when I see it. They’re gonna have a hell of a time competing with Silver Dollar City. Also their attendance projection is whack. That is double SDC, and even more than places like Cedar Point.
August is going to be great for announcements… This, Holiday World, SDC, whatever the hell Jeffrey Siebert at Fiesta Texas has been teasing. It’s like thoosie Christmas lol

I’m not really complaining about the speed with Beast, more of the momentum itself. It feels really unnatural being lurched slower as you are already descending the drop.
Re: Skyrush - I was actually sceptical about its reputation and went into it not expecting it to be that bad. The problem for me, in addition to the tightening, is how the restraints sit on the leg. It’s like the point of contact is too small, so all the pressure is concentrated in one painful area. I’m not sure if stapling myself in at the beginning could correct that.

Trims that hit hard enough to noticeably slow the train down. Can be annoying with B&M hypers but the one that sticks out in my mind right now is The Beast. I was riding it a few weeks ago and all of the trims hit extremely hard and ruined the drops, especially the drop into the helix.
Uncomfortable restraints are also another big buzz kill. I was at Hersheypark for the first time recently, and I felt no need to ride Skyrush more than once because of the restraints. Shame because the layout itself is fun, but having your legs crushed more and more with each instance of airtime is not. This applies to the RMC single rail restraints, my legs got absolutely crushed on Jersey Devil and it’s my lowest ranked RMC as a result. Same for the Mack auto lowering restraints. I’m not as crazy about Time Traveler as some people seem to be, and part of it is from those restraints again continuing to tighten to an uncomfortable degree.
Vintage Stock or Movie Trading Company depending on the location. They’re mostly in Missouri/Kansas/Oklahoma/Texas.
Dang, I feel lucky to have a chain that is basically the modern equivalent of Blockbuster with several stores near me. It’s so much fun being able to physically browse through movies.
Sad. I was at HP for the first time this summer and Comet really surprised me with how much of a wild ride it delivered, mostly due to the buzz bars allowing you to get thrown around. It really won’t be the same without them.
