RollerCoasters

A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

The Six Flags shareholders have approved the merger of Cedar Fair and Six Flags. Cedar Fair unit holders do not need to vote. The merger is currently under review by the DOJ.

Shame Cedar Fair sold Great America in California before this merge could be approved.

I don't know if much would have changed. There is also the possibility that the merger keeps the park alive. Still a ton of unknowns. I am personally still hoping that the merger gets blocked but even if it doesn't get blocked there is a strong possibility that the combined company will be forced to divest some of their parks so the sale of CAGA could actually be an advantage to the merger.

Regardless of what happens to the merger I hope that CAGA does get saved. I would honestly like to see the local government take over ownership and maybe even operations but I could also see it being a park ripe for Palace to purchase.
