Out of all the shows from Six Flags America, I would love if we got the LOL show.


It was basically Whose Line Is It Anyway

The local High School, Warren Township, has an Improv Troupe, so you can go to that if you want. Next show is May 16th at 7 in the Almond Campus Black Box(theater).

/shameless self promotion

Anyways, I was thinking of the Troupe to sign up for a few Live n' Local slots. Not confirming anything at all, but I'd like to see it happen. :roll:

Can someone post a picture of vest restraints? I don't like the sound of that is there a belt?

^Vest restraints are X-Flight's restraints. Instead of bars to secure you, it's a literal vest to cover your body. Quite comfortable, but very restrictive and decreases intensity.

The dining pass isn't valid on Advocate Day or other park buyouts when the park isn't open to the general public

Yeah and the promo code on six flags' website is so easily shared that most advocate day visitors aren't actual advocate employees.

First, I love the selection of food choices that you get with this year's dining pass. You can finally get a Slurpee as a snack! Also, Claimjumpers Chicken is getting Fish and Chips for this year- Noice. Second, did anyone else notice that they're adding a Hurricane Harbor Tube Pass and a Go Kart Pass for this year? Doubt I'll do either, but looks cool. Finally, the "What's New" page is restricted. Probably nothing, but seems suspicious...

The all-season go-cart pass isn't new, I bought it last year. They also had the all-season tube rental in years past but not sure about last year.

^Nope, JR gives you both fires and onion rings. They're some pretty good onion rings too.

Food That I will Truly Miss:
- Frozen Fruit Smoothies in Hurricane Harbor


Also of interesting notes, Root Beer Floats return to Hometown Square.


Also, What are Single Rockets?

Part of me hopes that they'll be a nickel, just like in the good 'ol days. When everything was a nickel.

Thank god, those were a nightmare and a big part of the reason funnel cake lines were so long.

Interesting how they're going to have two units named Totally Kickin' Chicken, it will be really confusing, they should've renamed the older one to something different.

This is in the fine print of brochure: "Premium Menu Item upgrade are added at restaurant cash register each time an electronic meal voucher is redeemed for those items."

It looks like there are upgrades available, but not necessarily posted on the brochure. I'm hoping that the funnel cake sundae upgrade is still possible because those things are awesome!

I just noticed there's no longer the Cuban flatbread sandwich, at least not on the dining pass.

No the reason funnel cake lines were so long is because they have no idea how to manage people or time. I was waiting last year for a loaded nacho by DEMON and while no one was ordering funnel cakes they were making them. A girl would make one change gloves take a guys order then start chopping pico de gallo then stop change gloves again then start filling someone's drink. No one was in line for a FC Sundae everyone was wanting refills and ice cream cones (they were out of cones by the way) So why they were making these funnel cakes no one was eating is anyone's guess. Conversely at the end of the night when people did want them they were so back logged the place by Whizzer had a full qeue. People need stations and they need more staffing, plus designated refill only windows or more coke freestyle machines.

The story of my life

For some reason the geniuses in the Culinary Services office decided that it would be a good idea to sell both funnel cakes and snacks at this location. Not only are they selling funnel cakes, which are a very popular option, they are also selling Nachos (which are a pain in the ass to make) as well as churros, popcorn, and initially pretzels until they realized there wasn't enough room to place a pretzel warmer.

The other funnel cake locations, Antoines, Foundry, Hometown, still had major line issues, and since funnel cakes were the only thing being sold there, it often took awhile for the team member to load the funnel cakes up with toppings, whipped cream, ice cream, etc, rather than just churning out plain funnel cakes with powder sugar.
