Yoooo! We're LIVE pal! Had too much fun trick or treating with my kid I forgot to post about it here! Link in thread
Hahah this makes so much sense
People with autism & ADHD age late. We do things late. Our frontal lobe doesn't develop until our mid 30s in many cases (as opposed to the neurotypical norm of age
25). We also have baby faces & childlike mannerisms for life while somehow possessing the wisdom of an ancient age.
So if you don't feel like your age, remember you have eternal youth compared to neurotypicals
They both go fast and have some airtime and don't go upside down or have any real intensity. $40 milllion Family coasters.
b&m hypers and gigas are so similar B&M had them grouped together in the same category for 15 years until a few months ago when they finally differentiated and added a Giga category. After 15 years.

Million dollar question right now…
Do they place it where X2 is?!
Do they remove another ride to make room?!
Do they give up on the Corporate Events area?!
Do they remove most of Superman: EFK?!
My money is on this portion of the park…tearing down the Gearworks theater…
Hey @grok how many b&Ms does SeaWorld Orlando have
This was 100% a last minute, panic fueled decision to compensate for the loss of X2, an extremely shortsighted one at that.
There is no reason ArieForce One shouldn’t be going to Kings Island, Carowinds or SFGAdv.
Six Flags Magic Mountain already has a RMC IBox & a new extreme coaster for 2027 for starters.
Secondly if corporate had any clue what they were doing at all, they would sell SFMM to pay off their debt, so that they can stop stacking more debt on top every quarterly debt interest payment. The current financial situation is 100% unsustainable even if they were profitable.
The park has massive land value but a dying coaster collection; X2 is gone, Riddler’s, Scream, Viper, Ninja & Gold Rusher are all near the end of their service lives, then there’s Wonder Woman & Apocalypse that need annual work to not run too rough.
They’re putting a redundant asset at a dying park, instead of pumping a high value asset into parks on the rise.
And don’t say I’m just mad it’s going to Cali, bc I’d think this was an excellent addition for Knott’s if they had space
This move quite simply shows me that corporate has no idea what they are doing/have no long term strategy or is happy to manage the company into bankruptcy/nonexistence at a sooner rather than later date.
But hey Zimmerman, Salim + likely soon to be Reilly all got their multi million dollar bonuses and severance checks, so why would anyone care about the shareholders, park employees and fans/enthusiasts?!
