Buy or Sell: CGA won't actually close in 10 years. They've been installing flat rides and renovating restaurants and not acting like a closing park. The local rumors are the mayor and city council are refusing to re-zone the land to anything but an amusement park.
FOR THE 100TH TIME THE PARK IS 100% CLOSING. Look up the financials & the deal. It's first cost prohibitive for CF to extend, as the lease agreement is already at 12.2M year and has an annual escalator of 2.5%. CGA was never a highly profit park & thus why they never wanted it, tried to get it out of the Paramount deal & again tried to sell it in 2011/2012. CGA has high costs(labor) etc.. like Knotts, also in CA without the pricing power of Knotts. CGA is one of the 2 least profitable parks in the chain with a constant battle with MIA & CGA has poor margins. Further look into the financials, CF accelerated their depreciation schedule on long lived assets of CGA to theend of 2026, that means it;s closing soon. They are taking the tax benefits on the assets while they can. They had assets on the 25 year depreciation schedule & moved it up. The City council is blowing smoke & despite what thoosies keep regurgitating the area is not just zoned for amusement parks, look up the official designation. The parcel is zoned for mixed industrial and entertainment use such as accommodating restaurants or a shopping center. Prologis would only have to get rezoning if they tried to build housing. Council member Suds Jain said he is in favor of the latter due to the housing shortage. lPeople think Prologis only build warehouses, they don't. Over the last 6 to 8 years they are branching out to mixed used facilities with housing that they have built in Florida, NJ, etc..& have projects in the works in other parts of CA. Prologis has been diversifying their portfolio & with the housing shortage they could make a nice profit on a mixed use entertainment/condo/retail facility that are in demand.
Okay you didn't hear this from me, BUT Skyrush is probably getting new trains. There is a few things to consider though: 1. HP isn't sure if they want to invest in R&D on a new train that uses the new age intamin lapbars or stick with the already manufactured models 2. HP's budget is kinda broke rn. Wildcat didn't get the crowds they were hoping for and with Candy and covid still in the rearview, they need to recover 3. The land that Skyrush and looper sits on is not meant to handle the forces that Skyrush puts on it. The park in the coming years is going to have to pick one to remove, and the park isn't sure which yet. Recently, one of the supports fractured (think Fury, but not a full fracture), and the park closed the path next to the loch running by the river so that it wouldn't be seen. Apparently this is not the first time this has happened As for skyrush vs looper, it could go either way. Skyrush has been having a lot of issues recently with its arb's and wheel assemblies, and that's why they've only been running one train for awhile. It's kind of technical but basically one train was having problems with its arb's so they took it off, and during 1 train ops the wheel coolers do not turn off. A couple weeks ago one of the wheels blew up (the compound in the middle melted and then expanded) and it spewed hot liquid off onto the rest of the wheel assemblies, which messed them up and they had to frankenstein wheel assemblies from the broken train onto the melty train. Needless to say HP is not happy with Intamin rn, especially given the reliability of skyrush in general. Looper just got reprogrammed and it has not been liking the new system. Basically one of the trains stopped on the safety brake (the brake mid-end of ride), and the park had to evac and pull it onto the back brakes. This is NEVER supposed to happen because there is no method of restarting the train and it is angled upwards. Maintenance does not know why it keeps doing this as it is not programmed in at all. This is why they were running only 1 train on it for awhile. The ride would do this every time there was 2 trains on. So if HP removes looper, and fixes the budget issues, they'll probably get new trains, as they have been unhappy with them since the ride first opened. If you couldn't tell, I work at the park. I'm an operator in the Wildcat team (we work laff, mouse, cat, pony and bugs). You learn a lot when you know people in high places who know people in even higher places. The stuff I could tell you is insane but I'll keep it to just this for now.
I’d wondered why the path was closed for so long, that makes sense. My gut feel as season pass holder that lives five minutes from the park was that attendance wasn’t anywhere close to what the park had expected/forecast this year. Seemed like a trend for all larger amusement parks this summer, and I figured that would cause the park to slow down on investments.
@@Celevie413 actually I’ve talked about this to some people, it would fit really well on the tall timber Splash area and it’s actually good possibility. Especially since canobie really needs a Family coaster.
Samesies. Wouldn't it be lovely to simultaneously prove the B&M prediction wrong and the SurfCoaster prediction right at Michigan's Adventure? I even have a name: "Third Coast Surf." But my actual prediction is either a Double Heart or some kind of a Vekoma family thing. This drought can't last forever.
As a Michigander, my home park is Cedar Point. Coaster fans in western Michigan can drive to Indiana Beach or Great America. A good new coaster at Michigan's Adventure? I'd sell.
@@FameyFamous my home park is technically cj barrymore's, but I don't count that so I go to cedar point. Sfgam and ki are also within reasonable driving distances
@@nicktheyoshi7137 I don’t think the surf trains will work on those two. Riddlers Revenge in particular is a positive G machine. As cool as the surf coaster trains are I don’t think putting them on Riddlers Revenge would improve the fact it turns your legs into jelly. The surf trains seem more fit for negative Gs which Riddlers Revenge and Green Lantern don’t really have
Buy or Sell: Cedar Point will remove Corkscrew for their next coaster and utilize the space created by moving Matterhorn and Scrambler over to the Boardwalk area this year.
Buy or sell: SFNE demolishes flashback or ships it elsewhere and uses the tandem plots of Goliath and Flashback to build a launch coaster (dream would be Axis) over the footpaths and themes it to Crackaxle Canyon and using the existing “western” station from Goliath, giving the section it’s first relevant coaster by theme
Buy Or Sell: We'll see a ground-up Zamperla Lightning coaster open in the U.S. in the next three-to-five years. If I'm being realistic, it would probably show up at one of the smaller Cedar Fair parks, but I'm crossing my fingers that Tropic Falls/OWA gets one since that's my homepark.
Honestly, I could see Canada's Wonderland getting one. They could use an extreme launch coaster, and most of the larger parks don't need one (Cedar Point, KBF (assuming we get Xcelerator 2), and Carowinds are set on that front.
I disagree with your opinion on CP’s new coaster, I feel like that the gc that you were describing would be too similar to Steel Vengeance, now I agree that they’ll get a woodie next, but if it is GCI I think it would be similar to Thunder Head or Gold Striker, I think that this could go in the Gemini plot, or corkscrew plot (which ever gets removed). I think an Intamin multi launch would’ve a good replacement for corkscrew
Buy or Sell, Chance-Morgan refurb of Magnum XL-200 with easier access trains. Or for its 40th anniversary they spend big and go with B&M Steel Dragon like trains.
buy or sell: after the new pendulum ride sky striker launches at six flags great america, the american eagle is going to be RMCed and turned into iron eagle and turned into a ride that can rival twisted collossus
Unfortunately I think the only way Michigans Adventure will get a B&M is when the chain has had enough of Rougarou at Cedar Point and they send it up north 😭
Buy or sell: The first B&M hyper will come to the west within the next 10 years. or Corkscrew at Cedar Point will close within the next 5 years. or After Lightning Rod loses its launch, it will lose popularity or no longer a top tier RMC. or When California’s Great America closes, Railblazer will be relocated to Discovery Kingdom or Lagoon.
In my opinion I can see India becoming a major coaster/theme park country like China did during the 2000s/2010s. During the next 20 years. For actual tourists, Thailand might be a good candidate with my wildcard being Guyana. They are now oil rich and relatively close for the U.S for tourists.
great job on buy or sell. here's what me and my rock station buesniess though Buy or sell: an 8 inversion B&m airtime looper will come to the mountain time range zone(arizona USA) in the future
1:29 Binghamton NEEDS a park. I went to college in Oneonta (an hour away from Binghamton, and Binghamton is a sizable city-also Oneonta could be a good location given that droves of people go there in the summer for baseball AND it solves the Binghamton problem, perhaps the park could rent out a college dorm building to house their summer employees which would be effective). If you don't count alpine coasters and glorified carnivals, the nearest park to my school was Great Escape, more than 2 hours away. If you look from Binghamton, that city is closer to Knobles than Great Escape (and Knobles is still almost 3 hours away). The region needs a park badly.
Buy or Sell: Cedar Fair will test out one of these new gen Vekoma thrill coasters at Valleyfair before we start to see them pop up in other parks across the country
The leaked layout is definitely what it is for Hollywood Drift. They have removed almost all of the trees to my knowledge on that hillside and have been leveleling out the hillside as well, all in prep for this coaster. They are also doing some work over by where Super Silly Funland is I believe and that is where the massive dive loop will be. You can really see its all coming together and the leaked layout is definitely taking shape and appearing to look be what it actually is!!💙💙 Can't wait to ride this!! I wonder where you will hit the 73 mph? Anyways, huge Hollywood Drift Fangirl here😂
Or-- and hear me out on this one-- they tear down the Arrow looper at Michigan's Adventure, move the CP one to Muskegon and call it a "new coaster" to keep the MA jackals from the door and kicking the can down the road AGAIN (thereby giving the figurative staple to Michigan's Adventure ONE MORE TIME). I mean, I wouldn't put it past them.
I really like Skyrush's layout.... But good lord those restraints. I have sensitive thighs and the pain was INTENSE. I went on it once at that was it. I hope it gets new trains!
Buy or sell: Six Flags is going to be more focused on making better themed rides then just replacing them with new one. I think this because Six Flags Fiesta Texas has been on a roll with rides with better theming rides with Poltergeist, & Dr. Diabolical. Now Six Flags America is getting is getting their park touched up with SteamTown.
At a coaster event I asked about the new trains on SkyRush and while they didn’t say yes for certain but they sure did hint that it was something they were looking at.
As an Iowan my home park is adventureland I am going in 3 days so my dream new roller coaster would be something like ride to happiness over the water but I think a rmc raptor somewhere else would be more realistic
From the rumblings I have heard, it is not necessarily cedar fair that doesn’t want to work with intamin but instead intamin that doesn’t want to work with cedar fair.
Buy or sell: Within 10 years, B&M introduces a new type of train for its hypers using restraints similar to those on new Intamins (e.g. Velocicoaster). Hear me out on this one - everyone’s been raving about the new Velocicoaster-style restraints, whereas traditional B&M clamshells have a similar thigh-crushing quality to the restraints on coasters like Skyrush and T3. Considering that people are getting heavier on average and parks have been replacing older, smaller trains for things like Millennium Flyers and Timberliners, this seems like a recipe for more spacious B&M trains in the not-so-distant future.
About the Falcon's Flight one... I believe we are already in the second coaster war since New Texas Giant, however the focus of this war is more about airtime and incredible rides, as opposed to records.
99% of coaster "records" are bs anyways. Think about it. Which ones ACTUALLY matter? 1) Height 2) Speed 3) Length 4) Number of inversions. And MAYBE 5) ammount of airtime. The rest just do not matter. No one cares that your park has the highest dive coaster that runs a blue train with red wheels.
There aren't enough players for a new coaster war. In the 90s and early 00s, there were dozens of parks that could add a hyper. But there are only a handful that could seriously consider adding a $30M+ stratacoaster. We might see a "skirmish" where Magic Mountain one-ups Kingda Ka with a Superman: EFK replacement to compete with Hollywood Drift, but that's about it. Cedar Point isn't removing Magnum for a 500-footer anytime soon.
Buy or sell, six flags will relocate Green Lantern from Great Adventure to another park as a floorless coaster, and build a new coaster in place if it and the parachute tower. (Thinking gerstlauer with a lighting package that will fit with the boardwalk theme)
Buy or Sell: Kentucky Kingdom is going to be like Wild Adventures, where it won't get any investments for new coasters, as opposed to Herschend's flagship parks.
Buy or Sell: CGA won't actually close in 10 years.
They've been installing flat rides and renovating restaurants and not acting like a closing park.

Buy. I think Kings Island will
Buy or sell: Carowinds will not get a new coaster is 2025 because of fury’s problems
Buy or sell: Within 10 years, B&M introduces a new type of train for its hypers using restraints similar to those on new Intamins (e.g. Velocicoaster).
Hear me out on this one - everyone’s been raving about the new Velocicoaster-style restraints, whereas traditional B&M clamshells have a similar thigh-crushing quality to the restraints on coasters like Skyrush and T3. Considering that people are getting heavier on average and parks have been replacing older, smaller trains for things like Millennium Flyers and Timberliners, this seems like a recipe for more spacious B&M trains in the not-so-distant future.
Buy or sell: After Top Thrill Two, Cedar Point doesn’t get another major coaster until 2030.
About the Falcon's Flight one... I believe we are already in the second coaster war since New Texas Giant, however the focus of this war is more about airtime and incredible rides, as opposed to records.
Buy or Sell: Six Flags will eventually repair their relationship with Gerstlaur. And I do mean *eventually*
Buy or Sell : Some if not all of Falcon's flight's 'records' will be on technicalities.
99% of coaster "records" are bs anyways. Think about it. Which ones ACTUALLY matter?
1) Height
2) Speed
3) Length
4) Number of inversions.
And MAYBE 5) ammount of airtime.
The rest just do not matter. No one cares that your park has the highest dive coaster that runs a blue train with red wheels.
There aren't enough players for a new coaster war. In the 90s and early 00s, there were dozens of parks that could add a hyper. But there are only a handful that could seriously consider adding a $30M+ stratacoaster. We might see a "skirmish" where Magic Mountain one-ups Kingda Ka with a Superman: EFK replacement to compete with Hollywood Drift, but that's about it. Cedar Point isn't removing Magnum for a 500-footer anytime soon.
I think there are a few players in the US and abroad, but definitely not everyone is on board
Buy or Sell: Six Flags will start putting new-age Vekomas in all their parks if The Flash: Vertical Velocity does well.

Buy or sell: Six Flags Fiesta Texas gets a hyper coaster in the next 10-15 years
Buy or Sell: Zamperla will develop a launched spinning coaster to compete with Mack.
Buy or sell, six flags will relocate Green Lantern from Great Adventure to another park as a floorless coaster, and build a new coaster in place if it and the parachute tower. (Thinking gerstlauer with a lighting package that will fit with the boardwalk theme)
Buy or sell: Lost Island gets a new coaster in 5 years because of growing popularity.
Buy or Sell: SFMM is most likely not getting a giga COASTER, nor within 2025 (2 different BoS’s)

Buy or Sell: In the next 10 years Paramount will license more IPs for theme parks as another revenue source
