As for Giant Drop those cars should(better) be fixed before FF starts. So there’s some 2026 news going around that the Six Flags parks will be switching from the flash pass to the CF fast lane.
They will likely have it ready for FF. Last year was the first year since before COVID that it was ready in mid July.
The same maintenance team works on all the B&Ms, so Wrath was the priority this year (hence why Superman got its second train so late)
Just got off raging bull, never knew they added station music? It’s pretty cool, though they also replaced the op spiel with a generic spiel which sucks

Yeah they've had the station music since last month, i even pointed it out in my update video. Good to know it's working tho because i went on Goliath today but their station music was turned off
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
Looks like 2026 Season Passes are accessible on the Six Flags website now. (Probably not supposed to be, though.) Prices are pretty cheap, especially with all parks included now. I'm going to wait and see what is happening with memberships, but I may have to finally cancel mine and get this if we don't get all parks included next year, too. Here is the link, purchase at your own risk:
Edit: I forgot to mention, if you click through to pass add-ons, it looks like the Paper Cup Plan is coming to Six Flags. Also, Flash Pass is going away for Fast Lane in 2026.

I liked the Wild West spiel Bull had previously. As for the op spiel was that the one from the early 2000’s?
I fully acknowledge that this is a maintenance issue, stuff happens, and they are probably waiting on parts to arrive, but it is insane to me that Bull, Super, Batman, and X Flight are all running one train. Nonetheless, on a weekend! I hope this is all just an unfortunate circumstance, especially with Maxx Force being down indefinitely.

BULL IS ON ONE TRAIN!?

It all has to do with an adjustment of the maintenance schedules from my understanding
The CF model and Six Flags models were not the same. Now, under the new company, they are aligning all the maintenance schedules…why they decided to do this mid season is a question for corporate.
So now a bunch of trains have to be inspected to be in compliance with the new schedule. Hence the one train operations.

That’s really dumb business because all it does is piss off the customer base.
So far, there have been many pros and a ton of cons to this merger.
It all comes down to money. Parks have not been that busy this year. So budgets were cut. That is why the season pass sales are going on early this year. It's to get more people in the gate.

Probably for the other parks in the chain, but not SFGam, especially these past few days. Whizzer was using all of it's switchback on Thursday at around noon

The Park is going to be insane next year with all these cheap passes. They were selling so many that the website was crashing.
All I gotta say is that this new maintenance schedule better be worth it for 2026. Raging Bull with 3 trains is amazing when it comes to raw throughput.

That explains why it's been a bit more busier as of late :/
