Over the years, there have been a LOT of official announcements that never came to be. The parks get our hopes up and tear them down. These are the 10 additional moments, chosen by my Instagram followers and KZbin viewers, where we got played for fools.

Great Escape potentially getting Astroworlds relocated SLC. It was relocated to Great Escape and sat in storage but very visible to people passing by. It was eventually sent to LaRonde. Not sure if it was permitting or the 07 recession but I’d like to think it was potentially replacing Nightmare.

@nevaehhamilton3493 21 күн бұрын

If it has been sitting out there in storage for years, the structure might be too rusty to be salvaged so they might just scrap it instead. That usually happens when a theme park decides they don't actually want it after all, so they wait for it to get extra ripe in the hot summer sun, the chilly rain, and harsh storms.

Yep. Tell me about it. It's currently my home park and I think it's pretty nice in general (don't love the inconsistancy vs other Cedar Fair or should I say Six Flags parks where I'm given problems about my keyring spork) but it's definately among the better parks I've been to, I'd say it's the second best park in California (only behind Magic Mountain). Seeing it with an expiration date sucks.

The fact Darien Lake never got Lake Monster makes me so mad, it needed that special something to get back on the map, instead we got a generic Eurofighter clone, several years after Lake Monster was revealed. It's truly tragic, how Darien Lake has been done dirty over the years.

@markvolpe2305 Ай бұрын

I think you can blame that on the REITs that own the park (CNL Lifestyles and currently EPR Properties) that don't want to put money in the park. Until recently, this past offseason, they put more Titan Track on Predator, replaced a few sections of track on the Boomerang, and fixed The Big Kahuna. Next year could be a good year for the park as they may do what SFA did this year.

I think I should also mention this: On April Fool’s Day 2022, a French theme park called Fraispertuis announced a new project called “Project Storkey,” where they teased an RMC Raptor. That turned out to be a shameless April Fool’s prank in and of itself.

Don’t know if you’ve covered it in this series yet (still playing catch-up with my watch list), but you should include the original plans for an RMC that Kennywood had - then scrapped - in favor of Steel Curtain.

I'm just very Bummed that Park has been dealt the blow it did and has.😥👎 My last visit at Ca. GREAT AMERICA was the Summer of 92, when My Family went on a Vacation to see San Fran and Yosemite Park. I remember going to GREAT AMERICA and getting 2 straight rides on the Edge without having to go back in Line. 😉👍🏻 Loved the Edge because I Loved Free Fall and miss both Intamin 1st Generation Drop Towers. 😥 Although, at SFMM I can't complain too much as I have LEX LUTHOR which is an Insane Drop and Adrenaline rush. 400 foot Drop. Nearly 2X the height of Great America's Observation Tower. But anyway, The Edge, your Stand Up Coaster at the time, and 'Revolution' Upside Down Pirate Ship was much Fun. 😉👍🏻

Here is one: Six Flags over Old Indiana. Old Indiana Fun Park was located just north of Indianapolis, and closed down due to poor maintenance on the rides. Six Flags bought the property and started to move rides to the location, calling it Six Flags over Old Indiana. Plans were to possibly open a park there, but instead it was used as a storage property for rides they were moving around. Eventually the land was sold off again to local investors who turned it into a preserve.

I have an idea for future videos. How about you make a ranking for each coaster element? For instance, top 10 barrol rolls, what 10 coasters barrol rolls hit the best and why maybe it's the power or the placement. But just make a new video for each type of major element. Maybe even follow up with the worst of the same element.

There were plans for a Peanuts Theme Park set to be built 40 - 60 miles from Atlanta at some point in the late 90s. There reason for it and its purpose was for Time Warner to purposely neglect SFOG by starving the park from investments and also try to significantly reduce its value as low as possible. It would obviously never get built cuz it's basically like competing with your own partner's owned park in which led to SFOG having to sue TWE for that reason.

Funny thing about Beastly Kingdom is that some Disney Imagineers moved on and went to Universal instead. While it's more a rumor, there has been talk in the Orlando community since Disney pulled the plug on Beastly Kingdom, Universal got a hold of those plans and created their own Mythical Area. That we learned to know to become "The Lost Continent" at Islands of Adventure. Including a dargon themed suspended rollercoaster.

@@jeffreykregel3821 I was not aware. I just can't picture Dueling Dragons as something Disney would do. Also the tolerances on the build makes me think that coaster had a long lead time. Now the Mystic Fountain or Poseidon's Fury water vortex I could see.

@jeffreykregel3821 Ай бұрын

@Jackrabbit9961 I definitely can agree with you that Disney wouldn't approve a plan with an extreme rollercoaster like Dueling Dragons. It's just interesting to see that Disney pulled the plug on a land featuring mythical creatures and stories, followed by Universal creating an area featuring mythical creatures and stories. Including unicorns and dragons. Now of course the remaining part The Lost Continent is nothing but a shell from it's former self and is more an "obstacle" to get to Harry Potter. We'll see what will replace this area, with rumors pointing to a Zelda (Nintendo) themed area. Which would be neat, but only time will tell.
