Opening day was really good despite the weather. Glad to hear a lot of the original music playing in carousel plaza, xflight , and demon. Really like that the park is updating the entrance and even made the shortcut into Orleans Place. Food lines were unfortunately bad due to the park getting used to a new POS system, hopefully they can figure it out and get it organized soon. Very excited for sky striker and to see what happens to the rest of the park currently under construction.

I'm stoked they brought the music back to x flight! I saw in one of the fb groups that the music in carousel plaza is actually a digital remaster of the original marriott tapes from opening day, so that's what was playing there in 1976!

Thanks for posting. This video was really interesting. I've been going to this park since I was a kid, and I've never seen this much unfinished construction while open to the public. From the looks of things, 2024 is gonna be a transition year, but I'm cautiously optimistic that there will be some major additions in 2025 & 2026 for the 50th Anniversary. Sky Striker is defintely going to be a much needed and popular ride for the park, but I fear it won't open until June or July at this point. Perhaps this is a bit of an ambitious prediction, but I think we may see 2 new coasters within the next 3 years. Maxx Force was 2019. There hasn't really been a high capacity thrill coaster added since X-Flight. I'm thinking a B&M Dive Coaster and perhaps an RMC Single Rail coaster could open in time for the 50th. If not 2 coasters, a revamp of the area by American Eagle and Sky Striker with some cool flat rides & family friendly attractions could show up instead of a RMC, and a Massive Dive or perhaps a Giga could be in the cards for the 2026 anniversary year. Considering this is one of the chain's most popular and well attended parks, I hope it starts getting the love it deserves, especially if the Cedar Fair / Six Flags merger happens.

Side of the building at @2:24 looks whack. Was never designed to be viewed from that angle. They need to wrap that in some landscaping. At the very least! Put a giant new orleans style wrot iron balcony on that side too and have bugs and the looney toons characters wave from up there. Set up a meet and greet zone or paint a mural. Somethinggg. Also all the buildings so far on that side are beige. The major fscility on that side is a bathroom which is supposed to be hidden from view. You dont want too much visibility for that and the work theyve done here made it easier to find but also caused this design issue

I hope to make it out to the park this mouth or next mouth to see it for my self there is alot of work that needs to be done but with whether we're having that might push things back bit but we'll say.
