i recommend discord. It's free and pretty easy to set up

it's sad to hear the parachutes are being scrapped in the offseason. The skyline won't be the same without it.

that would be the dream of it coming full circle and returning for the 50th, but i think it's time is done. It suffers so much downtime and is an absolute pain to maintain unfortunately

This is interesting, hopefully it actually works without issues! (It won't)

Weird place to put it considering you would walk through a garden to see the letters, but I guess they made it work.

Frontier Adventures and Plaza Del Carnival are both said to get refurbishments to their areas before they open in the summer. What do you all think these refurbishments will be?

This is great! Glad everyone is okay.

I don't know the specifics, but apparently debris is scattered around the entire park, a sign fell over (I can't remember which one unfortunately), and parks in between Jersey Devil and Skull Mountain were severely damaged. Hopefully everything is better by the time the park opens!

That's what i'm saying. I think the northern side could use more flats. It's not spaced as well as the Southern side is.

I wouldn't say it's fully bogus, because i'm pretty sure they planned it, then people caught onto it, and were upset about Nitro getting rethemed to something so generic as Goliath. I still think it'll get the color scheme it was planned as it got a new train with a completely different color scheme this year, but it'll probably still keep the Nitro name.

This one is such a weird ride, a lot of people I know didn't even know it was at the park at all, and it operated for 7 years. I personally never got to ride it because most of the time my luck was horrible with the ride being open, but I have seen it in operation before.

I only went a few times last year, but in 2021 I went a ton and it was open every single time I went. Pretty certain the use of it has lowered, but I hope it'll be refurbished instead of torn down. It's truly an icon at SFGAV and deserves to stay for the 50th.

Does this mean best of the west is gone? Or is it only going to be used for specific events now?

Quality of life would be nice, and would enhance the park's overall appearance a lot.

i get what you are saying, and what i'm trying to says is I think expanding on the outdated rustic western theme would be great, and that area shouldn't be neglected as much as it is.

this is actually awesome, I need to try this next time

The far left side of the park needs a lot of love, as Frontier Adventure is REALLY outdated. I love the rides there and it's such a nostalgia trip, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who agrees they need some sort of update to the area. Plaza Del Carnival is alright too, but it's existence has felt meaningless without El Toro being present. I think the next few additions other than next year (will probably replace the Parachutes) should be on the left side to improve the quality of those areas.

I'll do one for rides and coasters, i'll do coasters first For Over-Rated coaster, i'm going to say Kingda Ka, it didn't age as well as TTD (RIP) and has gotten fairly rough on my past rides. I don't think it's a bad ride, but I think it is highly overrated. For Under-Rated coaster, this one is a hard one, but I might have to go with Medusa. I don't see a lot of enthusiasts giving it lots of attention and it mostly seems like the only time it's brought up is literally just to mention that it was the first floorless coaster. For Over-Rated ride, I'm gonna go more recent and say Justice League. I like the shooter game, but the line always seems too long for what isn't worth the wait. Also, for every time i've ridden it, there is almost a 50% chance the ride breaks down and closes before I even get on. For Under-Rated ride, this one is obvious for me, I have had more fun on Deja Vu that I probably should have. Something about it really screams "charming fair ride" and I really enjoy that.

I still don't get why they did this. The building sits there for seemingly no reason nowadays other than hosting a haunted maze. It seemed perfectly fine and at the point it closed, it's theme didn't tie in with the Scream Machine, so if the plan was to remove it along side the Scream Machine, that wouldn't any sense. Just seemed like it was scrapped for seemingly no reason.

I definitely agree with this. Pirate's Flight looked like it could be the longest running War On Lines ride at it's opening and it was relocated for seemingly no reason. The spot it was in was alright, and possibly could still fit somewhere else in the park. Relocating it to Six Flags Ohio was confusing.

It can be something small that could've been prevented, or something that you believe should still be here today but was removed for seemingly no reason.

It was very unfortunate when I heard that the Parachutes were closing- luckily I got to see it's final day on January 1st, where I saw it run only once, and never again. It truly was a staple at the park, and I hope they don't scrap the structure. I feel like it would really ruin the park's skyline if they got rid of the structure entirely.

For every ride you reintroduce, you must REPLACE that ride. For example, if I want to bring back Spin Meister, i'd have to get ride of something that fit's the ride's footprint. So i'd axe Cyborg Cyber Spin to bring back Spin Meister, and so on.

If the removal of the Parachutes is confirmed when the park opens on opening day, this most likely means Twister's days are numbered too, as plans for expansion would not be able to go into fruition if only that was removed, as the Parachutes do not take up a large part of the park. Also, would this mean that Great American Road Race would be removed as well?

I know a few such as Condor and Pendulum being at SFGA, Rodeo Stampede being at SFOT, Sarajevo Bobsled being at the Great Escape, and one of the loops on Lightnin' Loops being at Frontier City. Any others I missed?
