Update from Wed. Still weird seeing it like this!

Sup, Parkz community. Hope you're all keeping well. I found this YouTube series, "Problematic Roller Coasters", by YouTuber "ElToroRyan". The guy was once a ride attendant at several theme parks in the US, including Cedar Point. As the name suggests, it's a number of episodes that go into detail of 1 specific roller coaster, that has had a problematic history, or is just a headache to operate. Currently there are 21 episodes, so 21 different roller coasters, including (but not limited to) Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure, American Scream Machine, Space mountain, Texas Giant etc. They are all very interesting to say the least, hence why I thought I'd mention them. For anyone interested, here is a link to the a playlist of all the current episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjproJZUcOI&list=PL-gC-PDnDt6SAt8sPgFjghDkRt4yWQ_Qt

We’ve been saying this for the last 3 FNs, I just don’t think it’s going to happen and this is now the standard to expect

Extremely busy tonight. ‘It’ maze had a 1+ hour long wait all night. The line stretched from the funhouse all the way to the stunt driver entrance and back. When i first walked past I thought they were doing HSD2 shows until i realised it was for the It maze. Conjuring 6/10 - the same as what they showed up 9 news, was okay in my opinion. Good amount of scare actors. I liked the crooked man projection on the door although the actor wasn’t present when I passed by. This maze was giving homemade. 20 minute wait Death Row 6/10 Good amount of actors again, lots of recognisable sets and costumes from previous year mazes. The ending was lacklustre so left feeling kinda disappointed. 15 minute wait Zombieland 2/10 Literally no scare actors, sets were meh, practically walk on. Doll House 7/10 Pretty good set designs, personally I struggle to find pretty girls in doll masks that scary so this was a bit of a disappointment for me. 20 minute wait. I really don't believe they made less tickets available than previous years because of the price increase, seemed the same as 2019 crowd wise. DC and Scooby were 75 minutes, Superman 30 This year kinda seemed like a cheap out to me, but understandable considering they lost 2 years to covid. Hopefully they use the extra $$$ they’ll make due to the price increase to up the quality next year. Main street atmosphere was fantastic, as were the other scare zones All the rides closed at 9pm, I left at 9.10 so i’m not sure how the lines held up after.

Haven’t ridden a woodie but from what i’ve heard, wooden coasters are meant to be a bit rough it gives it character, but Jackhammering is what i’m worried about, which is what i’ve heard can absolutely ruin a ride such as Mine Blower and Hades 360. Off topic but i’ve never understood the hate, it’s such a fun coaster which rarely has a line and can lap easily.

Shaded seating area coming soon to Sea World?

I feel like this thread is going to go to places that are not good.

The posts on Parkz of people "surprised it wasn't mentioned" are now more common than articles that actually reference the incident.
