Kangaroo is coming back in 2022. https://www.kennywood.com/content/knw/en/discover-the-park/plan-your-visit/experiences/what-s-new.html

That might be the new Fire in the Hole 2.0 coming to Silver Dollar City in 2023. It's rumored to be a RMC project with a powered-style of coaster train.

Sounds like a nice coaster, but what an awful name. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/11/16/2334917/0/en/Fun-Spot-America-to-Reveal-ArieForce-One-Roller-Coaster-at-IAAPA-Expo.html

There is some speculation that a merger or acquistion could be imminent. https://twitter.com/JonLitt/status/1460253851676819458 Which reminded me of a discussion from a month ago about Six Flags corporate booking hotel rooms near Kennywood / Palace Entertainment HQ. https://old.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/q41oru/six_flags_officials_in_pittsburgh_other/

Mike Spanos is out as CEO. This was negotiated over the weekend and reads like he was forced out by the Board. New CEO is Selim Bassoul from the Board of Directors. https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000701374/000119312521329004/d262198d8k.htm https://investors.sixflags.com/news-and-events/press-releases/2021/11-15-2021-120113251

Maybe they will add a water element and call it Aquaman. The orange supports are throwing me off because the other Six Flags Riddler rides don't have orange.

Drone update from Nov. 6th.

I haven't seen it yet. I am not planning to get Hulu again until The Orville Season 3 is released.

I normally avoid all of the comic book and superhero movies, but I might checkout The Flash movie to see Michael Keaton as Batman again. Six Flags signed a 5 year deal with PPG paints in June, so I would expect to see all major attractions in the park repainted before the deal ends. The park president of Six Flags Over Texas stated that all major attractions in that park will be repainted by the end of 2023. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210623005163/en/PPG-Announces-Preferred-Paint-Supplier-Agreement-with-Six-Flags

Magic Mountain: https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/attractions/wonder-woman-flight-of-courage The current rumor for Magic Mountain is that they will have 20 coasters in 2022, 19 coasters in 2023, and 20 coasters in 2024. An older coaster (possibly Viper) will be leaving to make room for a new B&M.

Supposedly, most of the Six Flags parks will be getting a Starbucks. It is rumored that there is a new deal with FAT Brands (owner of Johnny Rockets) and more of their restaurant brands will show up in the parks over the next few seasons. https://www.fatbrands.com/

Six Flags Great America: V2 is becoming The Flash for 2022. Image source: http://www.facebook.com/jiggidyndg I am hoping to see a Zamperla Giga Discovery replace the Yankee Clipper flume and a retheme of Whirligig to DC SUPER VILLAINS Swing. SkyHigh Coasters, the company that does most ride installations and some ride removals for the park, posted a picture from Logger's Run that was taken on Sept 10th.

I am getting the following error when I attempt to access the site on Chrome or Safari. It pops up again when I click the main page link to the Forums. Appears to be a Security Certificate or https configuration issue.

The Riddler Mindbender opens September 18th.

Yeah, it looks like the wording may have changed.

SeaWorld San Diego: Emperor (opens March 2022) https://seaworld.com/san-diego/rides/emperor/

Six Flags Members receive unlimited admission and parking at ALL outdoor Six Flags theme parks and Hurricane Harbor waterparks. If you plan to visit multiple parks this year, please become a Member!"

Wild Speculation Warning: Due to the repaint of Pandemonium, I think Catwoman Whip at SFOT will be relocated to another park for 2022. This ride is next to an empty piece of land that will eventually be used for a new attraction and this would free up more space. This is the only 48 person Zamperla Endeavour built and would be a good fit at one of the larger parks in the chain. Pandemonium at SFOT is being repainted the same colors as the Catwoman rides at SFOG and SFStL. Catwoman Whip at SFStL Catwoman Whip at SFOG

Which waterpark? I don't see any in the area worth purchasing or leasing.

You can see the new water treatment plant in the woods east of Zumanjaro and north of the solar panels. It looks like the new 1 million gallon storage tank wasn't completed yet. http://www.jacksonmua.com/water.html http://www.jacksonmua.com/CapitalImprovements.html
