We were there last Saturday.  I don't know how many people were there but I'm guessing a bazillion.  It was very cold and windy.  The only coasters open the entire day were FITH (of course), T-N-T, and Outlaw Run.  OR didn't open until later in the day when the temp finally got to 37 and had a 75 minute wait.  They were using the overflow line.  I was going to get in line but it was close to dark and they would close again once the temperature reached 32 and there was no way I could get through a 75 minute wait before the ride closed.  So yes I would definitely buy Trailblazers.  Just remember that the basic one only gets you to the front of the line for 8 rides one time.  We've never bought Trailblazers since we always buy season passes and figure if we can't get on a ride one day we can always do it on another.  Good luck.

^ We stayed this past Saturday night at the Super 8 on the SOTH parkway.  $60 plus tax for the 2 of us with a pretty decent breakfast buffet.  We've stayed before and would definitely stay again.  Never had a problem.  Good luck and have fun!

^ Though I love your idea about putting in a Baldknobbers museum I don't see that happening because most visitors wouldn't give a flip about the history of the area.  Sad.  I would love to see another indoor ride in the old FITH location.

^ I would think that's one of the main reasons for the new enclosures.  Hope so anyway. 

^ I can't think they would close AP for the whole year unless it was completely unavoidable.  Having AP down all summer would make the incredibly long lines already experienced at MRF nightmarish.

Check with the park to make sure they're not closing.  About 10 or so years ago we were there on a Saturday in December.  Got there around park opening at 11 and a little after 4 they announced that winter weather was moving in and they ended up closing at 5:30.  We were parked in Lot 3 at the bottom of the hill so we were fortunate to get out before it began.  They ended up getting 4 inches of snow.

^ Thanks Swoosh

^ It was delayed per our guesses.  For all we know it was planned for 2027 from the beginning.  I would expect an announcement around August right before 2027 Season Passports go on sale.

^ Agree.  And especially since I consider T-N-T a family ride I would hate to see it go.  They don't need to replace it with another ride.  They need to give T-N-T some TLC AND build another family coaster, which still sounds like they are in the process of doing.  T-N-T was their 1st real coaster (as opposed to the original FITH being a dark ride with coaster elements) so the nostalgia factor is there too.  We are getting to the age where we have stopped riding the more intense coasters (except for Outlaw Run which doesn't spend too much time upside down) and our daughter only rides the less intense rides so keeping T-N-T and adding another mild coaster really "fits our pistol".

^ That's good news they are getting another one.  I would hate to see the knife making demonstrations go away.

^ From the talk on this board I really wasn't expecting them to announce the new ride for next year.  And yes I thought Choctaw Charlie was entertaining but to me they didn't really have anything I would have considered big for a Fan Fest.  But it was nice for them to have a Season Pass Holder exclusive showing (even if it was streamed to everyone).  We have been Season Pass holders for 35 years now ourselves.  And it was really great of them to offer active military free Season Passes (Season Passports I guess now).  Did you get an ice cream freebie, MG?

Yes the Fan Fest was Shakespearean: Much Ado About Nothing

It's Big Reveal Day!!

^ Well I may have to give T-N_T another chance when we go in October then.  It's been a couple of years since we've ridden because the last time I did it hurt my back enough that I had trouble walking the next day.

^ And/or fixed Thunderation.
