@FunSpotAmerica (2/2) their workers, and is the kind of product that enlightens many. Together this made a ride insane enough that AF1 stands out against rides of more height, more length, more cost, and more theming. Please convince the proper party that this ride deserves to be relocated.

@FunSpotAmerica (1/2) Rode AF1 on an awesome road trip 3 years ago. Please try and convince whoever is in charge of finances for this kind of closure that you currently own and operate one of the best roller coasters in North America. It represents years of hard work by American companies,

#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas

@dsnymike @AliciaStella Fwiw Mack Rides (manufacturer) has been using trains without an over the shoulder restraint for the last 16 years. Blue Fire at Europa Park opened in '09. The technology is proven. There are many rides with inversions without an over the shoulder restraint.

@KingsDominionVA How much will access to haunted houses cost on top of park admission?

@GodfatherGwazi BGT has some great ride hardware but they have zero managerial desire to use that to create an efficient experience. The only park I can think of where some coasters have more than 3 trains. And now said rides run 1 train regularly. Anything to sell Quick Queue I guess :/

The roar returns...

Stay tuned for more details on Kumba's reopening this summer.

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@RedHeadS0phia @amusementhunt @BuschGardensVA Less and less rides have over the shoulder restraints these days. Lap bars are more accommodating to smaller riders.

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@_Se7enLuna_ @AliciaStella Cosmic Rewind can do roughly 2000 riders per hour. That's higher than Tron, Tiana's, Rise, etc. There will be days with longer lines much like all E-tickets across WDW but it'll be worth it if on any given day a guest can decide to reride without needing a Lightning Lane.

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@ElToroRyan I used to operate this thing! I remember maintenance telling me about track and train replacements in 2022. I'm excited to see the final product of this refurb.

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@ParkFansNetwork But think of the poor shareholders? How would they survive with the continued operating of such a ride?

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@Carowinds So far, the merger has been very anti-consumer. Can't wait to see how many people visit the chain next year.

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@sawyersperlik Insane build for sure. RIP Pontiac

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@Treyarch Please add Tranzit to BO6

[Hypothetically] Redlining first, second, and third after merging from 4 lanes to 1 lane thanks to an accident >

[Gavin Hatfield @gavinhatfield99]

@long1330 @wdwbusdriver @ashleyyjaade I promise the ratios for lightning lane for most attractions is about 4 lightning lane guests/parties to every one standby guest/party. The addition of a new tier of LL isn't going to make it much worse, it's already terrible.
