Scoop: Rocky Mountain Construction is planning to build a 45ft tall Wild Moose prototype at their Idaho headquarters! This will likely be a small test track similar to what RMC built while developing the Raptor. No matter the scale, it will be exciting to see an ACTUAL Wild Moose in action! 🫎

Anyone saying how great of a deal the cheap Six Flags passes are just really don't understand what's happening inside the parks (Language warning in video) #sixflags #cedarpoint

OK now this cracks me up. All the stuff they made for fright fest they put in an empty shop at 40% off #sixflags #sixflagsamerica

Genuinely don't know what this was all about

Well that's that then..... Eff off Zimmerman #sixflags #sixflagsamerica #themeparks

Even with the annoying nods to the fake museum this was a really great documentary that I highly recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFiX0zLk2bI #schwarzkopf #rollercoasters #ace #documentary

Ride lockers being added at Knott's Berry Farm and the price is insane.... It's going to be $15 for a locker that moves with you from ride to ride. Other parks in the chain have been noted to be increasing this price as well. You also have to love how Six […] [Original post on opencoaster.net]

If you haven't listened yet we released episode 93 "Unhitched" last weekend. You can find it at https://sidefriction.com or on your favorite podcast platform. #amusementparks #RollerCoasters #ThemePark #podcast

It's been virtually 2 decades and I still miss Geauga Lake. It's funny how history repeats it's self with the Six Flags name doing damage to beloved parks now like in the early 2000s […]

I despise the framing of fail safe incidents being dangerous but putting that aside things really aren't looking for for Cedar Point. I genuinely think amusement parks in the US are never going to be the same after the last year of Six Flags and Zimmerman's leadership […]

Episode 91 "Six Flags Fatigue" is out now. We talk about the mess that is Six Flags and hear from Greg on his coaster trip around Japan. Find it at https://sidefriction.com or on your favorite podcast platform (see website for links and RSS) #SixFlags #RollerCoasters #amusementparks #podcast

Friendly reminder that next week is the last week of Lagoon’s summer schedule. I don’t know about you, but I feel like the summer months went by way too fast.

Six Flags news just keeps getting more and more sad. This is not official yet but Peanuts could be leaving the legacy Cedar Fair parks. https://sanduskyregister.com/news/616942/bye-bye-snoopy/ #peanuts #snoopy #sixflags #cedarfair

Dramatic little kitten!

Now that I've completely f**ed everything up I'll see my way out https://seekingalpha.com/news/4479558-six-flags-entertaiment-ceo-to-step-down #sixflags #cedarfair #zimmerman #amusementparks

Just a reminder that there isn't a new episode this week since Bob is visiting OBX and a couple parks, Greg is still experiencing Japan parks, and Ryan talks to himself enough on his YouTube channel. This is a good time to catch up on previous episodes which can be found here […]

This day just keeps bringing more blindsides from Six Flags ... Told my niece and nephew I'd get them a could magnets each here at Carowinds and couldn't find a price list anywhere in site.... I know they've lost their mind but I figured like $8 (which is insane) would be the max.... Bought 3 […]

@troy I should probably elaborate that what set me over the edge is they don't have moveable lockers here... Every ride that doesn't have a ride bin requires me to pay $4 and, to make that even worse, if a ride is closed they don't have any indication until you get your locker and walk clear to […]

This is why I don't buy FunPix anymore. #sixflags #cedarfair #carowinds

Remember when Six Flags America was seriously looking up? It's such a waste that the Zimm Reaper is throwing this park away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poSRqRAaNS0 #sixflags #sixflagsamerica #amusementparks

Episode 89 released this weekend and you can find it on various podcast platforms as well as at https://sidefriction.com #ThemeParks #RollerCoasters #podcast #amusementpark

Have you subscribed to Ryan's YouTube channel yet? If he gets 16k subscribers by August he has agreed to visit a fair... If he gets 20k he will even ride some of the rides which will certainly bring some hilarity! ... And if you haven't watched his videos yet you are in for a treat […]

(1/2) Yesterday at Kings Dominion we were waiting for Grizzly to reopen after a rainstorm and a sheriff deputy walked down with an tablet and used it to take a picture of the ride rules sign at the entrance to the ride and then walked up there exit ramp into […] [Original post on opencoaster.net]
