Shit brown and baby blue? Not the colour combination I would have chosen, unless I want patrons to think of POOPY DIAPERS.

Looking at the park's social media post, I will wait for someone to snap a picture of three coaster trains crossing each other at the same time at the bottom of the Vortex first lift hill.

Yes, I have a Silver Pass to Wonderland this year, allowing me to take photos of AlpenFury about every week until I actually ride it.

Back when it was in the middle of nowhere, Wonderland looked impressive. Now, when you come down the 400 from the north, the so-called "mountain" looks hilariously tiny and inadequate against the backdrop of the condo towers in the distance. It's really damaged its aura...

Six Flags America just east of Washington, DC will be closing for good at the end of the season. It will be replaced with real estate development due to its high land value from having relatively easy public transit access.

There’s one roller coaster that might pique the interest of fans of Canada’s Wonderland:
Professor Screamore’s SkyWinder
Why?
This roller coaster is identical to Flight Deck at Canada’s Wonderland (both being Vekoma SLCs), but Six Flags America’s version uses the much newer trains that are much more comfortable than the original trains still in use in Flight Deck in Canada’s Wonderland. This means that there is a chance that once Six Flags America closes, the trains from that roller coaster would be transferred to Flight Deck at Canada’s Wonderland, thereby upgrading the aging roller coaster at a very minimal cost with new trains.

Does chocolate or Nutella make you think of shit too, then?
Brown can be associated with a million things far more appetizing, not sure why this is always the first thing that comes to people's minds (same with yellow). And I absolutely hate when people shit on faux woodgrain for the same stupid reason (by their logic, the T1 doors should be associated with blood), whereas all I can think of when seeing faux woodgrain is chocolate / coffee / cinnamon buns. That rollercoaster pole reminds me of, like, a coffee-flavored lollipop or something.

Flight Deck now has those newer trains from Professor Screamore's SkyWinder from Six Flags America! No more painful head-banging!
