I don't see where the online Dining Pass has been updated yet. Still showing 2018. Do you have a link to the new pass?

Here's the 2019 map btw https://imgur.com/a/nqWpLVD
They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.

2019 season dining pass: https://imgur.com/gallery/7tB4E5F

I already know it's not complete though. Johnny Rockets has fries and onion rings as snacks, you can get regular Nachos as a snack wherever they show loaded nachos as meal, it doesn't include any of the things where you have to pay a buck or two extra, etc...

So to access the wifi in the park you have to download the Six Flags app? Has anyone tried that yet?

Thanks, thought that was just Mobile ordering, but that makes perfect sense.

Possible reason V2 is closed, per JiggidyNDG:

They need to repaint it while they're at it! V2 is long overdue for a paint job! 18 years is a long time!

I think V2 would be great as The Flash. The Flash at Discovery Kingdom will have "thematic elements" which I assume is sound effects. Again, just name Yankee Harbor Gotham Harbor..

You need more exclamation points! I didn't quite get your point!

..... But seriously, yes it needs to be painted. I wouldn't be surprised if it was removed before that happened.

Hell V2 needs a giant "PAINT ME" sign with 18 exclamation points after it! :lol:


At least Superman is finally getting some love. that thing was almost as bad as V2

This upkeep makes a big difference, especially for first time visiotrs! When they replace jim Reid Anderson, I really hope the new CEO does one year with no new rides and puts teh entire capex budget into infrastructure, asset maintenence, paint jobs, etc.

True, but for every little detail, there is a bigger problem. The first thing I noticed is how DIRTY the park was. There were cups and junk in XFlight's queue that were there from last year. Peeling paint everywhere, and lots of faded signs. God, I just want to go through the park with a weed whacker, a garbage can, and a pressure washer...

Yeah, it was really bad this past weekend. It felt like Premier Parks was in charge again. That's exactly how I remember the park looking back in the early 2000's!.

Heads up, it's gonna snow again, so park operation will be heavily impacted this weekend.

On opening day, you could clearly see where they had painted new paint on Superman. From what I remember, one of the banks, the turn out of the station, and the few pieces before the last inversion were all painted. I would assume they would continue. Anyone have any pics?
