And actually a serious question because I asked you about it and I noticed this today. There was an ice storm two days ago. Did you guys notice any like oil or sheen or anything in the ice? Because I honestly I didn't. This sounds political. Not political, not political. But it was kind of, I don't know, it was kind of weird. Camera angle! What's wrong with the camera angle guys? What do you mean camera angle? What's wrong with the camera angle? We look good! Yeah, we look good. I know I look good. Well, what about you? How was your week? I was okay. Recovering from a breakup. I have another drink. What were we going to talk about in the opening stream? I know, like should we just cut to the chase? Should we start talking about Craig? I think we should. So you guys probably saw the news. They captured the guy who drove through the mall. I know the rumor is that that was Craig, but it's not. It would be Craig. No, but there's real tea on Craig. So there's lots of rumors swirling around. Did he pass? Possibly. Maybe he went on extended vacation to Costa Rica. Yeah, a lot of the rumors are we don't like each other. There's beef. Lots of beef. Yeah, lots of beef. Yeah, but no, we did hire a new intern. You know we did. He's still trying to get with the program. Because when we say we want something, should we just show them? Yeah, okay, let's show them. Hey, beverages! I got you guys your entire case. Thank you. So you see, this is one of his toys, not enough. So he's not getting there yet because he's going to drink all of it. For me? He got you. He bought me a big, a small size Coke. I got him a serious size Coke. You can come on now. Why are you standing there? He's standing up. Does the camera angle make sense now? No. He needs to, he's still, it's a little challenging, but he still needs to, you know... We don't like the camera angle. It makes us... It's also a half an hour walk to get around him. Yeah, we'll be careful down there. Geez. What's going on? How's Coke? I'm still Craig, huh? Craig, I've been a while. How are you? You know, I live in the dream. I've been absolutely working my brains out. Is that, yeah? Yeah, that's, you know, you see all this negativity, no wonder. What negativity? What negativity? I can hear the sarcasm already. Why is there wall red? Oh, never mind. Ignored Discord. Who is this person? That's not the color one. Oh my god. Craig, are you in the hood for real? Craig, Craig, does, yeah, Craig has changed a bit. I know, it's been a hot minute. I've been working. I've been attending to personal matters. My girlfriend and I have been living the dream as well. Oh, he's rubbing it in? Right. Oh, his girlfriend and... Oh my god, okay! We all have girlfriends too. We do? Some different than others. Yeah, it's true. We all have girlfriends too. Oh my goodness. I got Caden's reaction. No one knew this. No one knew this was happening. I didn't know this until half an hour ago. Don't worry, neither did I. She's okay. We're good. Well, I was planning, oh, so he was gonna come on, but then I was like, oh, Grace is on next week. So then I was like, that means Craig is three weeks out. And then Craig, I figured, had time off today. So I was like, okay, squeeze him in today. That makes the most sense. How's it going? Craig, what a burn. Craig is back. Hi, Caden. Hi, Caden. You look older. Yeah, you do. You do look older. It's been a while since we've done anything actually proper behind the camera, though. It's probably all this season we didn't do anything I don't think at all. I'm kind of shocked you're not... Okay, moving on. I'm kind of shocked you're not six feet under. Didn't we make bets on that? Don't tell them that. There was no betting. We were getting ready to profit off of your little line for ten. You guys wouldn't be the first, you won't be the last. I was gonna be like, everyone subscribe to my Patreon. I'm really sad. You guys buy this, Craig a merge. I've had a few dates with trees at high speed. Craig, you're too quiet apparently. Because you guys are so far away. Yeah, there, you gotta talk. Look at Craig stuffed in there. Looks like he gained weight. There we go. Looks like he gained weight. He's like your arm. Touch my armpits. Turn the little man's volume up. Guys, we have this. Maybe I'll have to get more mics now. We're gonna have guests. Smack talk to Brendan lately. I find that Craig has a lot more of Smack talk to... Have you heard us talk? I haven't even said anything. I haven't done it. That's right, stay in your place. Because he's skinny, so he's allowed to come in here. Okay, so where did you go? Work? I read realistically. No, no, not realistically. Don't say realistically. Why? I'm curious. You've been working. I was going the last few nights out of summer when summer was still nice. And then we had a lot of night shifts at the time. I've been working snow plowing now. So now most of the time most of my nights are spent working in a truck. And that's it. That's life. This week my girlfriend is back. So I've got a bunch of shit to go on and do with that. And otherwise... Summer was six months ago. Summer was six months ago! I haven't seen you in half a year! What snow? Someone asked. What snow have you been plowing? I've been busy. But he did get me a moderately sized drink. I appreciate that. I feel like I'm angling the camera now. Because normally the microphone could be angled at Siri and I, but now there's three. But if you just increase the volume on the mic... No, the volume's headset only, right? Because it's got the little headset. Okay, I have no idea what that does. Does this change anything? Guys, does this change anything? Something happened. It's like they all go down. They're like, oh my god! Someone just called you a cow! Someone called you a cow! No, they're calling you a cow. No, I'm a piglet. You're a cow. What? No, it didn't change anything. It's like dogs, to be honest. They're cows. It's Brendan, okay? Points for the drink. I have to drink today. I wasn't going to drink. I was really tired earlier. I'm hot. Should we crack a window open? Want me to? Yeah. You're our intern. Everybody turn away. Don't look at my belly. That was terrible. Don't flatter yourself. Oh, there you go. That'll fix it. You opened it a millimeter. It's cold outside. Okay. Oh my god, I'm so scared. Guys, there is so much to talk about. Yeah, this is honestly a loaded podcast. I knew this would happen. I knew this would happen. How did they even screen grab it and post it so quick? Are you going to be drinking with Grace? I mean, Grace asked me that too. She's like, are you going to be drinking with Grace? I think Grace wants to try. Grace is probably watching this right now. I'm being like, so on second thought, my plans are falling through. No, from what we understand, Grace is going to be doing it from a different location. Guys, there's no Karen reviews today. I was hoping no one would ask. It's so fully loaded. Someone just called me Pepper Pig. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Your daddy pig. You're a goddamn daddy pig. Your daddy? Holy. You have one of those. Damn right I do. Okay. Craig reviews. Okay, maybe we'll think. I think we should go right into it. Have you seen the triggers? What is a Syria trigger? Okay, so this is basically where I find the most triggering thing I possibly can for Syria. But this week it was so easy because Twitter had something pop up. It's so easy to trigger. Okay, so this next trigger, guys, unfortunately affects me too. And I'm actually really pissed off about it because this is something I've wanted to ride so badly. Oh, it's not a political issue. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What the fuck? What the fuck? We're gonna put this issue. He doesn't say maintenance issues. I think you have to do the planned maintenance. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. This guys, they have already fucking done this once. I'm sorry. They've done this once in the summer of 2012. It broke for three months, which it's been nine years since the last time. The steel beams in my house are picking up his high-pitched voice right now and they're like echoing it. I know, I was really upset by this. Wait, yeah, are you even going to the police? We are. Oh, no. That's so tall. Brendan, I don't know if we can do King's Dominion without this. So what are we going to do instead? I don't know. You want to go to Caroline instead? No, no, I don't know. We have to figure something. Brendan, this is... You said I wasn't seen her fair yesterday. Because then you would go looking. I even said I-305. I said I-305. I said it. Oh, that's so tall. So for those of you who don't know, the reason you're so triggered is we have a trip planned for the 18th and 19th. 18th and 19th. 18th, Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, 19th, King's Dominion. No I-305. But then, oh my god. No, no, no. Just till the 30th, because I'm going back from the 7th to the 16th. You're going for another week. I actually thought he was crying. I just wanted to ride it. And now they're going to close it. It's not funny. It's not funny. Actually it is because it's fake. What the? No, no. What? King's Dominion. Due to planned maintenance, I-305 will be closed from March 10th to March 30th. Wait, what is it real or fake? Is it real or fake? I made it on a fake tweet generator. I'm going to check. I'm going to check because I don't know anymore. I would say on the website. He was 100% just crying. No, I wasn't. Yeah, you were. No, I wasn't. Oh my goodness. It's real, don't check. Is it fake? Is it real or is it fake? No guys, you don't understand. I-305 is literally, literally de-bashed, like it will change your life. Oh, I did myself with this one. Is it real or fake? That was good. I got to give you that. Now I can't ever use a fake one though again. I checkmated myself. That wasn't funny. What were you going to do to tell him it was fake on March 17th when you went there? You're out of view for some reason. There you go. That's Craig. It's weird because when I move this way, it's the wrong way. I think people aren't recognizing you. I'm old. Who is this guy? So it's fake. I love how I- According to the chat, it might be real. I could use you guys now. Guys, is it real or fake? No, seriously. Please be honest because be honest. No, it's not real. Thank you, Melissa. Why would they close at the- Brenda, I got really- You were so- I could hear your voice in the walls of my house. Yeah, I know the bar, like the- The metal- The structure of that house was echoing. If you have no idea, I was almost like, I was gonna have like, leave you and shit. Oh, we saw it. Don't worry. We were here. I was this close to like, grabbing a meltdown. Guys, it's been such a long winter. And literally, literally this- You have no idea what this ride means. You have no idea what this ride means. And then they're gonna go and close it when we go. Girl, we have acid rain raining down- I don't give a shit. I don't care. Let us melt, but let me ride. I have to go five one more time. Brenda, what is wrong with you? Guys, you don't understand. Oh my god. You okay? Drink some pop. Oh, here, have a drink. Do you want one drink? No, I gotta drive home. It's one drink. Gotta drive home. It's gotta be zero for me still. Oh, you don't have your G. I do. I'm just not 21. Oh, not me. Look at this law abiding citizen. That's a change. Okay. Okay, I triggered you. Is your heart rate coming down? No, it's not, but- Just, just, just- That was pretty good. No, no, no, that wasn't good, but- No, what if I manifested this now? But it's not real, right? No, it's not real. No, it's not real. No, I went to a website and you- Show him the website. Just show him the website. Can't open my internet browser. That'll fix it. Just show him the website. Can't open my internet browser. As long as it's not real. As long as it's not real. It's not real. Sure, yeah. March 10th to March 30th. We'll share more details and information at a later date. Why would they share more details and information at a later date when it's planned maintenance? I have 305, things like this just happened spontaneously. This thing has been known to, to, to not work. That was so well done. That's kind of funny. It looks real. Look at everything. The retweets- I was, I was trying to look at the date and like there's, you can't tell. 492 likes. Oh, that's tall. Is that a picture of you? That's a sneak, one I sent to America. Okay. Okay, thank you guys for- Six Flags Kadea. Is that how you pronounce it? I have no idea. Everyone who's an enthusiast already knows this information, but they're building a 607 foot tall ride. Oh yeah. With a 531 foot airtime hill. Okay, sure. And they're also gonna have a 470 foot tall drop tower. Yeah, for sure. So the drop tower, that, that out of everything is 100% believable because I think Orlando Freefall was, it was either 420 or 500. Well, you're an engineer. How tall can you realistically build something that's just a straight up stick without it being a problem? Oh, you're about 800, 900 feet. Oh, okay. You know that much weight? Yeah. And the possibility of, okay. That's all your time on me for a second. I have to be honest though. I have to be honest. And I know they've started construction, but 607 feet tall with a 531 foot airtime hill. I'm very skeptical on that still. Like is it gonna be, is the whole ride gonna be, is it gonna be Thunder Run to get you over that airtime hill? Like, okay. When it's 607 feet tall, is that a continuous drop? So that's what I want to know because there hasn't been much information on the drop. Right? Apparently it's gonna have trims. But then how does it get up a 531 foot airtime hill? Well, even, yeah, that, yeah. Yeah, you're gonna have, it's gonna need like an LSM boost or something then at that point. Mm-hmm. But you can't, I don't think a train can go over 300 kilometers an hour, especially, you know, in that climate. Well, what'd that do to us? Because my face on the bike, I know it's because I'm bigger. So my like excess skin is like flopping around. But like if I rode that ride, would I... So, okay, okay. Let me put it to you this way. Like I 305 needs it. Apparently it's a launch coaster. That answers that pretty quick. It's a launch coaster. That asked an answer. Okay, okay. So lift launch. Okay, but that still doesn't negate the fact. So what's the drop gonna be like and how fast is it gonna go on that drop? You know, like what's the top speed? Because Formula Rosa goes 249 kilometers per hour, I believe. And that needs wheel coolers, right? Like I 305 needs them, but that's because it's really forceful. Formula Rosa needs them because the wheels spin too fast. So what would that do to a ride like that? Like you're thinking of speeds like maybe 340 plus kilometers an hour. Let's say 100 kilometers faster. Like how can the train survive that? You know, like what's the maintenance on that going to look like? Now I'm sure they have very deep pockets, but I just can't see it being done. I don't know. I'm very skeptical about this. Would you go there and ride it? No, the country it's in? That's... Side eye. No, that's... Side eye. Isn't it going in Dubai? Yeah. And that's another reason why I would never... Why I won't ride Formula Rosa either, because I would not... Wait, why was Formula Rosa? United Arab Emirates. I could have swore it was somewhere in Europe. Not Dubai. I thought Formula Rosa was somewhere in Europe. The way Suriaxi gets arrested immediately. My feet. But no. So I'm sure they're going to try and build something. Like I'm sure, you know, I know at least there are construction and stuff. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of cool attractions, but 607 feet tall. If they build it off like in this illustration here off a canyon wall, I can see that, but the speed at the bottom of the drop. I don't know. I just... Also it has to be so... The pile would have to be very long. But it has to be so elongated and dramatic. Not dramatic, whatever the word would be. Let's say they trim it down, right? Then they're going to have to have like LSMs to launch it back up. It just seems very impractical. And how long is this going to be? Like let's say, you know, you got a train going 250 plus kilometers an hour. You need at least 7,000, 8,000 feet of track to kill that momentum. The brake run. That polo game. What do you think? I'm more impressed by... Look at this futuristic area. What do you call it? Steampunk? Steampunk, yeah. Look at that. It's got the Tilt Coaster. The Tilt Coaster I think is going to be cool. That looks cool. The theming is very cool. I think Falcon's Flight looks so lame. I don't know. Yeah. My question actually is... Is this just affiliated with Six Flags or is it an actual Six Flags Park? No. So Six Flags is just helping with advice and essentially their name is being leased. So Six Flags isn't even managing the park. From what I understand. It could be wrong. But that's my understanding. It's just the Six Flags name and Six Flags giving advice. That's it. Well, I think they went to the wrong place for advice. I know, right? I know, right? You have all this money and why are you going to Six Flags? Six Flags can't even keep their own parks open. So you're in 2069. So what do you think the chances of it actually... Look, they're building it. Look in Discord. So there are so many projects that they've built and that they've abandoned in the construction industry. And I don't know. I'm still very skeptical about this. Like until we actually see track and it being taken off the ground, then I'll be a believer. I would like to know who's building this. What about the hole they can't build there because of how the ground is? Well, no. That's sand. So they just use piles. They can do that. Like there, right? Yeah. Case-ons and piles. So they'll just drill really deep into the ground, a bunch of little rods to build a mat foundation on. But I want to know who's building this. Maybe it's in-house. You know, is it... How long is it going to be? Oh my God. No, no, no. Because, look, Cannibal at Lagoon was in-house and that was when it opened. That was almost a one-of-a-kind. You know, it had one-of-a-kind elements. So maybe they might have to go in-house because I want to know what manufacturer... I think Intamin is the confirmed builder of this. Intamin is confirmed? I remember hearing that, yeah. Oh, I don't know. I mean, if a manufacturer was going to do it, I would see Intamin doing it. But I don't know, I think we need a little more information before I can give my honest opinion on this. Yeah, I don't really have much to say. I mean, it looks like... It looks cool. I'll never go. Who can afford to go to United Emirates? Who wants to go there? Isn't it like, you need like $30,000? The plane ticket there is like already $4,000 or $5,000. Yeah. And all the cop cars are like Lamborghinis. So... Well, what are we running from the grumps for? No, but that's how much money they have. Well, don't look at me. Look at Grega. That's so funny. Oh, that's just real. I don't run from nobody. Yeah, look, that's what the vehicle will look like. It's got a glass shield. How's the glass going to withstand? You'd be surprised. It's probably plexi of some sort, like the plastic glass kind of thing. I don't know. I'm so like, there still seems a lot of concept and stuff in this. I'm sure it is designed, but we have to wait for it to open. All right. Next topic. This might be out of here. This is good. This is good. Intimate patents. Okay. So I... I didn't... This... So it's credited to... What's the Reddit? Reddit. R slash roller coaster, but I got notified about it from Coaster Hub. So I'm just giving Coaster Hub the credit, but it's on R slash roller coaster. I just don't know how to use it, so I didn't know how to properly credit. So I'm just going to credit Coaster Hub on Insta for the next two patents that we're going to discuss, just for making me aware. So this is the spinning coaster. So Intamin has redeveloped their spinning coaster or submitted patents for a redeveloped spinning coaster, where each seat rotates differently, right? Freely? It is free rotating. And what... I'm sorry, but just like, look at the angles of that. That's so cool. And that's so unique. That's like an industry first. Yeah. So, you know, if this comes to fruition, this will give very, very, very cool ride experiences. Like how... I just don't get how people's feet aren't going to collide. I'm sure there's a lot of clearance there. And maybe... Are there not buckles or are there not straps around the feet? Right at the bottom there are. Oh, there is. There's like little... They got clamps so you can't stretch your feet out. So your feet are kind of stuck down. I hate shingards. I hate shingards. Yeah. I see this as more of a... But they would have to. I mean, just look at the layout though. The layout looks pretty fine. And you know, I'm sure Intamin being Intamin, you know, and like any park that buys this will get definitely one of a kind experience. Who do you think the first park? Not park, but like owner of parks is... I could see SeaWorld going for something like this. Could you? Or bush parks, yeah. Yeah. Because you know, they did surf coaster, they did like Pantheon and Icebreaker. So they're going more of these smaller rides, right? Like smaller, more intense layouts, kind of compact layouts. So I could see them getting something like this. That's what I'm noticing though. Have you seen all these like patents? They're all like compact layouts now because parks are running out of room. But you know what the funny thing is? There was that whole thing with the coaster wars, right? In the early 2000s and even like 2010, 2011, like, oh, for a roller coaster to be good. And I used to believe this a lot. You know, you need to be 300 plus feet tall. It needs to go 150 kilometers an hour. Otherwise it's no good. But you have all these other manufacturers like Zamperla even, you know, Intamin. Even like, I think PNM is starting to tone it down a little bit. And they're making more compact twisty layouts. And they seem to be very popular. Yeah. It scares me. I mean, if it's done good, if it's done good. The next one looks good as a compact coaster. The next one looks so good. Would it be cheaper as a result? What do you think of this? Yes. I prefer mock. Okay, yeah. Like even look at the layout. Come on. I know that like when they present a layout, there's more they can do. It's like a generic. They'll make a custom layout. But I don't know, mock. I just want the mock trains, the theming. Let me ask you a question then. Do you feel like, because Intamin has done stuff like this before when other companies have released like, you know, a new model, then Intamin kind of tries to one up them in that model. So do you feel almost Intamin, they haven't stopped innovating, but they're trying to play catch up or they're trying to copy other people almost like other manufacturers. I mean, they're all copying each other now at this point, aren't they? I think mock was really the first one that pioneered some of those. I'd be careful with that because there's a lot of like, you know, like there's no, no, yeah, that's very valid. I feel like at this point, there's like, you're, you're copying what I think is pioneering is like BNM taking the stand up coaster and adding that suspension seat. That's pioneering to me. Okay. So this would be pioneering that individual spinning. I would view that as pioneering almost. Yeah, that's definitely that's a very interesting concept. I hope it sells though, like not like RMC's T-Racks. And Krega still has. It's really Krega. You guys can interview Krega all you want in the next stream. You know how we do the hangout after. Oh, the Q&A. Yeah. It's a roller coaster, guys. Yeah. What do you think about this? It's crazy. I feel like all my thing is, is it kind of just discourages riding with friends. Now it's how do you get to, how would you want to ride with your friend? Maybe you don't want to. That's his wet dream. No, it's not. If I haven't experienced, well for some people anyway, for most people going to a theme park is you know, you look at your friend next to you and how fun, how much fun are you having on this? Oh, how much fun am I having on this? You know what I mean? Oh, that's a good point. I like that. Tall people might not be able to ride it. Yeah. I wonder with those individual spinning seats how constrictive that will be. So that is a good point. Morris, we did. We know that it's intimate. All right. Pat number two. This one looks so good. It's looking really cool. It's a swing coaster. So the one that launches you, launches you, launches you and then launches you. Like it's like a swing launch. It's ridiculous. Yeah. And that's a figure eight loop. Look at this. Like this is ground up. If you were a bird above it looking down there. Like a vertical figure eight. Yeah. That's pretty cool. That actually looks, that looks sick. That would be so intense. This is what like Pantheon should have been. Yeah. Yeah. Like this. Imagine this at Wonderland. Oh, this would be so good. This is too intense for me. Is this a rider? Is this just their concept for this? This is a concept. Yeah. It's a concept. But in reality. Not for the spinning one. In reality, they've already done stuff. Okay. Obviously nothing like that loop. Like that loop is the first of its kind. But you know, they've done Pantheon. And China. What is that flying with the dragons? That was like the 200 foot swing launch and that huge. Inversion. It's yellow. The track is yellow. I can't remember the name. I'm sure Ryan knows. Damn. Someone put the millennium. But. That's a daily. That's a daily. Sorry, man. I'm going to get a tattoo. Um, so I definitely think this is very possible to see in the next five years. I hope so. I mean, it's not that difficult. They got the swing launch perfected. So it's just about the G's. Does it pull a safe amount of G's? And that's the only thing that would be of concern. So it's very buildable. Look at the support structure. Yeah. Like I'm even looking at that. That top of the loop, you know, like. It almost looks like a stranded DNA. Like it's a twist. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So they really got that twist and like that helical design. Done really well. I think it's going to be cool. I hope a park buys this. But what's the patterns here? That's, is it just a loop? Like the figure eight loop is the pattern. So this is can be an element thrown on any other. It looks like it. Yeah. Yeah. Or is the pattern another ride? The pattern was for the figure eight, I think. But I guess they're demonstrating like the most likely scenario for this to be used would be a swing launch. Yeah. God, think about that. Just one second. Cause you know, swing launch is back and forth, right? So when you're on your first pass, like you'll already, kind of be doing a twist and then coming back down. So it'll give like that wicked twister aspect, you know, of like everything is rotating. We're going to talk about wicked twister soon. Oh, my blood pressure can't handle much more. Yeah. It looks, I would love to see this at Wonderland. It would never happen, but. Do you know how this would grab the GP's attention though? Like imagine walking into the park. I know. And you look at that. Like, and look, that would grab attention for sure. That has to be at least 150 feet tall. Right. Like you think that. You would see that. Yeah. That'd be a new part of the skyline. I want one. I want one. I want one. Oh man. Okay. Speaking of spikes. Oh goodness. Speaking of spikes. I don't know if you've caught up on all the news involving top fill dragster. Something along the lines of it hit somebody. She's not doing so well and it's closed. Thank goodness you worded it that way. The minute you started talking about it, I was like. I tried. I tried. That's all. That's all. And then now it's taken apart. Yeah. That's my extent of it. So the latest rumors. There's two. One is Intamin is redoing it. The other is Amperla is redoing it. And now a new piece of information is they're going to completely kind of redesign the ride. So it'll be a swing launch. So it'll go. So you basically you'll come to the station. There'll be a pre-show. It'll slide you onto the track. Launch you, launch you, launch you and then launch you up. And they're going to try and take the record back. They're going to ruin top fill dragster. I think that's an improvement. They're going to ruin top fill dragster. It's a ride about drag racing. Oh yeah. They're going to ruin top fill dragster. So they've ruined top fill dragster. Car fan guys. Car fan. Why do I side with them? I'm so happy. Apparently it's going to be space theme. That's the rumor. Now take that with a grain of sulks. I don't think there's any like actual factual like. I mean, we might find something out next weekend. That's true. We're going to be at roller coasters. A. No. Winter chill out guys. We are going to winter chill out on Sunday. So there's going to be a Q&A with the park president, Tony Clark and all those people where we'll be answering questions. Um, okay. But what do you think? The probability of this is. I think that it. So theme park predictions actually posted a video that I extremely agreed with his opinions for like the first time ever. And that doesn't mean an insult to him because people say the same thing about my videos. But I think he hit the nail on the dot. So one of the things that he stated was they're going to redo that top hat. The track is 20 years old and they're going to want this ride to go another 20 years. It makes no sense for Cedar fair to be spending this much money on top to dragster and to just not redo the entire track design and support design and everything. So apparently it's in phases. So they're rebuilding the section right now and then they'll do the top hat. I think that that's one rumor that I believe about him. We're going to redo all the tracks. So they're going to rip down the top hat eventually too. And it'll be a new color, new everything because they're going to have to repaint it. Right. Yeah. So he hit the nail on the dot in his latest video. Honestly, theme park predictions. You have to go watch it because I agree with him. And number two, I think they're actually going to make it taller because why not? Why not take the record back if you're having it redesigned? Oh, God, there's a lot. It would suck though. Unpack it. Unpack it. Okay. Okay. And this is not me being argumentative. Be argumentative. No, no, no. Just a discussion. So first of all, let's talk about the track. I will. I will agree that the track probably needs some work because it is 20 years old and it's been subjected to a lot. My only thing is, my only question is, is it going to be a brand new track design? Or are they just going to refurbish it? Because look how they took away the launch track, right? You saw when they took out Wicked Twister, when they take anything out, they just rip it down. They do not care. But when they took apart the launch and the break run, they meticulously took it apart. Like they went bolt by bolt. Section by section and we're very careful with it. To me, that says that they want to preserve the track. So that's the... No, no, no. That's a valid point. But so that leads me to think, are they trying to redesign the track? Hmm. I personally, I don't think the top hat is going to come down. I think they're definitely going to do work on it. Now, I do think there is a chance with the swing launch, if that actually happens, the vertical spike could be 500 feet tall. How though? Like so, how tall is the tower? 400 and something? 420. Why would the spike need to be 500 feet? So they could take the record. So is that tall as a ride at that point? Is it? Does that still count? Yeah, it does. That would, because that's the part of the ride. So that's the part of the ride. So instead of doing all the work on that tower, if they just made the spike, like Superman Escape from Krypton, a similar design where it's just a straight up tower, and the fastest launch would then be the reverse launch. So you could do the reverse at like 220, 230, get it to go up to like... You know, if the spike is 500 feet, you don't even need to go the full 500. You can go to 450 and then just have it kind of coast through. That's a good loop. Oh. That's a good loop. That's a good loop. Oh, dear. But that's only if they end up doing the swing launch. That I also... I don't know. I think there's going to be a time constraint. Like getting the train up to that speed going back and forth. Like that track, that launch track is probably going to need to be at least a thousand feet long. But I don't know. It's so difficult. It's because I'm even contradicting myself. A swing launch would be the answer to get a train to go up that height with LSM. That would be the answer. Yep. So I don't know. It's hard. That sucks. Yeah, there's so much unknown. This is the new train design too, Zemperla. It's almost confirmed that it's Zemperla. Is it not, guys? So the only thing I disagree with is... So Thiemberg-Birdischen thinks that it's going to be Intamin, but is it not confirmed the track is on its way to Zemperla? That's what they were tracking. It's on its way to Italy. Yeah, and that's not where Intamin's factory is, right? It's in Germany. That's like that German state. Yeah. And then in Italy is Zemperla. So it has to be Zemperla. And, you know, in Zemperla's video, they said we can go from, you know, 80 to 200. And why are they specifically working on a faster launch train a year ago? And a stronger train. Why are they, like, you know, in that video they specifically designed... Better maintenance. Easier maintenance. High-grade aluminum. Yeah. So why are you designing a train to withstand forces that you would expect on a ride like Top Thrill Dragster? That sucks. Well, Kaden, these are Zemperla's trains. These are the lightning trains from Zemperla. Yeah, these are the new, new trains. Yeah. This is what's going on. Oh, both factories are in Italy. Okay, I didn't know that. I thought it was Germany. Oh, so this is really up in the air. So it's like... Are you sure? El Toro Ryan is Zemperla. And Thiemberg predictions is... Ryan has the better track record, though. El Toro Ryan has the better track record. Thiemberg predictions is like me. I'm going to say like me, so I don't insult him. But our stuff has been wild. So I'm going to definitely believe El Toro Ryan before I believe Thiemberg predictions. I think, though, you know, if you were to do a swing launch or something, this would be the perfect opportunity to change the layout. Like, go for something, you know. Go for a record. Like, it would be great to have Dragster back even 420 feet. No one's arguing that. But it does kind of make sense, right? Like, if you're going to go through all this work and spend, you know, however much they're spending over 20 million, you might as well take some kind of record. And you could do height or speed or both. And people don't... Cedar Fair is very protective of records. This is why I think Wonderland will... It'll be one of their big five parks. They're going to take the Wing Coaster record back. Like, it's inevitable. That's what scares me. That's what really scares me about Wonderland in 2025. Oh, shit. Right. It's in Italy. Guardland? I can't even read that, and I'm Italian. It's in Italy. You're looking at Jungle Rapids. Yeah, but that's Intamin currently located at... Intamin also has an office in Washington, D.C., though. What? I was just going to say something. I can't remember what I was going to say. I guess it wasn't important, but... I don't know. How do you feel about the spike in, like, redesign? Do you think that's probable? From your personal opinion, from what you... Yeah. Well, okay, so I'm like... Cedar Fair... Like, guys, we're going to touch on Cedar Fair at the end of the stream. I have so many... The Cedar Fair had a conference call, and there's so much tea. Cedar Fair is changing how they do business. Like, really... So, they're back to building big attractions. Like, in the conference call, they were like, you know, big attractions are what draws in a lot of people. They have a new formula for investing in these big attractions, too. So, they said they are always going to be investing large attractions in their top five parks every year, and they're going to be redeveloping space in these parks. We're going to touch on this more. But they're also going to be building big attractions in their medium-sized parks, which was against their rules before. So, Dornie Park, for example, getting a dive coaster, is different. That's pretty good for a park like this. So, every year they said, like, a medium-sized park, because it's proven that when they build a large-scale attraction in a medium-sized park, it actually brings in the same revenue increase that one of the bigger parks would experience in a larger attraction. So, really cool information there. CGA was listed as a medium-sized park, too, in that conference call, and I was really taken back by that. Yeah. So, what's a small park just Michigan's adventure? And they also said they have no intent to sell any of their parks. Yeah, they said they couldn't pass up the CGA deal, but it doesn't sound like the park is sold. I'm starting to think that us enthusiasts jump the gun on what this land sale meant. For those of you that have paid attention to Six Flags' latest talk, they want to sell the land that the park sits on, but still operate the park. I think that's exactly what CGA might be kind of doing, and there's no intent to stop operations at CGA anytime soon. But, yeah, are we done talking about this bike on top of the dragster? I guess we are. All right. Breaking news! So, breaking, you left it till the end. What is this? There's a really good-looking guy here. No, oh, I think this is where I filmed Shandmio. Oh, oh! I called SeaWorld after. It's okay. Guys, don't call... What does that animal rights protect? PETA! Don't call PETA. I already made SeaWorld, Marine Land, all of them a... They're aware of the situation. Okay, thoughts on this? So, thoughts on this. I think this is a really good sign. This is Hartwell, guys. Hartwell has been working at Wonderland for so long. It's unbelievable. So, Wonderland is working on upgrading their electrical grid for the entire park, but now we have them wiring some further electrical down towards the toll booth area. Yeah, this has been going on for the last, like, week, week and a half. Yeah. And it's pretty high-gauge wire, so it's definitely for some kind of a structure like it has to be. And it's heading towards the tolls, and it's heading towards the outside of the tolls. The chainside? Yeah. So, and this is Wonderland confirmed. This isn't like the city. So, one could think that Wonderland's finally getting the toll plaza that all... The Carolans has the toll plaza, right? Yeah. King's Island has the toll plaza. King's Dominion has it. And Cedar Point has it. What's a toll plaza? It's a more beautiful... It's like, you know, when you go to the border... And self-service, too. Oh, yeah. Which... So, for those of you that don't know, this is why I'm very convinced that we're getting the toll plaza. It may not be for the 2023 season. That might be getting ready for the 2024 season, because it sounds like 2024. They have a lot of money to play around with. It seems like a gap year before big investment. So, I think that we'll get the toll plaza. I could see even a front gate reno, maybe. I thought it would be years before we see it, but it looks like they're... It looks like they're listening to the feedback they've been getting in their guest surveys. It takes an hour to get into the park sometimes. Like, just into the parking lot, and then an hour to get into the park. There's been times where, you know... And I know you've... We've all experienced it. If you drive into Wonderland, you've been backed up almost on the highway. Mm-hmm. Trying to come into Rutherford. You know, you're backed up all the way on Jane, like, to Major Mac. Trying to make that right-hand turn into the parking lot. Like, they're like... It can be ridiculous. Yeah. Absolutely ridiculous. And also, I don't know if you guys noticed. They actually have a generator over there right now. Was that there for Winterfest? That was there. It was there for the last weekend of Winterfest. So, that could be a bad sign that we're not getting a toll upgrade, and that there was just an electrical problem. But nonetheless... Yeah, at least they're upgrading it. This is what we found. But pay attention, guys. There's stones in everything, too, now. So, there are signs that they're gonna... Probably even add a couple more tolls. There's definitely construction signs down there. I wouldn't be surprised if we see, at minimum, two more tolls added. I would like to see a plaza. Like, self-service is what they need. Yeah. Like, they need self-service. The quick scan and open. And, like, dedicated lanes, too, maybe. Even, like, for pass holders, like, with those self-scan lanes. Because sometimes, you know, when you go in there, you're clogging up, like, there's people trying to pay, and then there's just people who have the passes who just want to go in. That's it. That's exactly what it should be. Everyone said this one, guys. Like, what's with Krega just hanging in the background? Guys, Krega's not kept up with a lot of the news. He's literally disappeared from Amusement Insiders and the Coaster World. I have a question for you a little bit off topic, but not really. If you don't want to talk about it, just let me know. The passenger pickup and drop-off area, could you see them expanding that area? They have to. I'm surprised the city hasn't forced it on them yet. Have you seen what it does to the city? Jane. Yeah. The car's going left in the middle, blocking all of the middle, and then the entire right lane being blocked all the time. They almost need, like, a whole new two lanes. It needs to be all of Jane. It needs to be a whole road. Back, like, right behind that hill, just for that. And they have the space for it. That part of parking lot's never used. No, and it seems like, like, even here, there's space there, like, they could do another whole entry lane, right? Like, it seems like there are some aspects as the park gets busier. They may need to start reworking, you know, some of this infrastructure, like the parking lot. Yeah. Maybe even the exit or something. Oh, yeah. The other exit? I was saying it almost made sense to them to add a, you know how they have that other exit that they built? Like, a couple years. It would make sense for them to have one on this side too. But the only problem is, how do you build it when you have the entrance from the tolls? And then all those cars, that quickly spilling onto Jane's street. Yeah. They need another exit to another road. Yes, yes. Nowhere goes to Major Mac, does it? No, they do join fireworks. They'll let you out that way. But technically, that's the employee lane. We can't go in. Yeah. So there is definitely a reworking that needs to be done. Yeah. With the whole entrance and exit system. We do know that, well, I should say I know that investments are coming. Should we talk about that? Let's go into it. Let's go into it. We're in final top already. How long have we been live? Only 50 minutes. Okay. Well, that's cool. We'll go live. Okay. So Cedar Fair had their fourth quarter stockholders call. They are doing really good, unlike Six Flags. And there was a lot of information here. Like, I started taking notes on my phone and then I was like, I need to write this down. He wrote it down on his official note pad. Yeah. Look, a letter from the government of Canada. Okay. So I'll touch on season passes because this is an interesting topic. So for those of you that have kept up with us, we have told you guys that Wonderland season passes are the highest they've ever been. They're probably roughly close to a million passes in total from all categories, which is interesting because passes down for Cedar Fair are 4% lower than they were the year before. So it almost sounds like Wonderland is trending up, whereas other parks might be trending down. I even more so know that Cedar Point is one of the parks that are trending down. Now, they did tribute that to topsoil dragster in the conference call, that Fastlane sales were down at Cedar Point and season passes were down due to topsoil dragster, which makes sense. Inflation is having zero impact on business through Cedar Fair. This is good news. Spending is strong in parks and was strong in parks. Season passes are strong despite their being inflation. So only being 4% down actually isn't a scary number during a recession and no reduction in consumer wealth in their markets. So what that means is Cedar Fair parks are actually located in somewhat financially stable or more financially wealthy neighborhoods and markets and let's say six flags parts or other parks in the same thing. I think SeaWorld benefits from the same thing as well. Food and beverage. So Cedar Fair did a lot of food and beverage upgrades over the last three years and they saw a huge payoff for those investments. So Cedar Fair said they're going to double down on food and beverage investments and upgrades. So it was linked to higher reviews and higher spending. So the food and beverage department was the strongest department in the Cedar Fair chain had the highest growth and this has contributed to the fast-paced restaurants that they built at Cedar Point, Canada's Wonderland and the other parks as well. So they're going to keep doing that to all their parks and they're going to upgrade their current restaurants at all their parks as well. They're going to improve digital tech. So they're going to roll out a new app in 2024 which will have mobile ordering, mobile payment and it will also contribute to less labor. So this is why I think there is a toll booth. I should have touched on this in the last slide. So Wonderland for those of you that don't know introduced a higher hourly wage right now. So what that means to a business is a larger bottom line. And when a business gets a larger bottom line they're going to streamline that bottom line over the years. And what that means is more robots. So for example when you look at a grocery store you see self-checkout. So a lot of the times right now you see grocery stores reporting record profits with inflation and yes like there's lying going on by the grocery stores but that's also contributed to less labor. Labor is the largest cushion, not cushion but the largest like leech on a business. It makes up the largest loss next to rent or property taxes. So for a park like Canada's Wonderland investing in toll booths or automatic entrance into the park even lessening security you can't take away ride-offs and attendance that's never going to happen. So you have to look at areas like food and beverage admissions stuff like that. So that's why I think that front gate and toll booths at Wonderland is actually going to be a moved up priority with this increased hourly rate. So I wanted to touch on that because that was important. I wanted to save this by the way but I wanted to save this for the stream to have tea. So Cedar Fair has a strong emphasis on growing revenue and their emphasis to grow revenue has actually changed. Do you remember before that attractions moved down a slot and entertainment moved up a spot and they're like in order of the thing it was like becoming a place making and then attractions remember and then family attractions and then thrill attractions. Well the good news is it's changed. So marketable large attractions to expand the calendar year at all their parks specifically at the beginning of the year was a huge emphasis that Cedar Fair made on growing revenue. So they're doing it at Cedar Point this year. They expanded the calendar year at the beginning of the year. Hopefully Canada's Wonderland does that in 2024. I don't know why they didn't. I don't know why they weren't chosen for it but Cedar Fair said they were going to try it at every park eventually. So an earlier calendar year at Canada's Wonderland 2024 could be plausible and marketable attractions was a big thing and on the call they said that they're five largest parks which can be confirmed and no one can fight me on this because this is the call. Cedar Point, King's Island, Kirowins, Knotsbury Farm and Canada's Wonderland are their five largest parks. Sorry King's Dominion but you are not the five largest parks. I know other coaster channels would argue that it's more important than Canada's Wonderland because Canada's Wonderland is always undervalued but Canada's Wonderland is a top five park. They will receive major attractions. They'll be the first parks to receive major attractions and then a small or medium park every year will be chosen to get a major attraction. So for example, Dorney Park. Their five major parks will continue to be transformed. What that means is Lazy Bear Lodge area Snoopy's Racing Railway whenever they build a new attraction they're going to change the area. So, Kirowins, Aeronautica you're going to see that at World Expo Canada's Wonderland that's going to eventually come Frontier Canada that was already happening. The five, this is key information by the way so a lot of times you'll hear little whiny enthusiasts complaining about why don't they invest in Michigan's Adventure? Why don't they invest in Valley Fair? This is why. The five big parks make up 80% of EBITDA They make up 80% of the final revenue of Cedar Fair. What did you just say EBITDA? Adjusted EBITDA, it's a business word. What? There are no further plans to sell any parks and there are unfortunately no plans to buy any parks anytime soon so they have a lot of cash on hand now because they're making a lot of extra revenue so the cash on hand is going to continue to grow now and the I just lost my train of thought What's the word described for a payout? Dividend The dividend will continue to grow now so what's going to happen they said on the call is their five big parks will continue to be invested in heavily to become places that people want to go so I thought that was really really tea I think that to me especially now we know the information that Cedar Fair hired Islands of Adventures designer tea because that's expensive so I know that was a lot of subjects all at once That was and I think that's really exciting There were a couple of things I guess when you said the five biggest parks that does make sense I guess they want to so would that mean each one of those five big parks is almost guaranteed So what's the gap between big coasters five years so roughly four to five years sometimes big parks are teamed up like Carolin's and Hannah's Wonderland so that five year four to five year gap makes sense for one of those parks being chosen for a big coaster did they say what would happen in between those gaps like it would just be constant park improvement so infrastructure so they said that they were always going to be enhancing restaurants now every year at all their parks enhancing areas food and beverage is the main focus of the park it makes up a huge huge profit margin for the park so they're going to continue they said it made up 10% 10% so okay let's say five year for Wonderland Carolin's Cedar Point and Kings Island Knott's Berry Farm how much money per five years then would you estimate like Cedar Fair would invest in that park so they gave the number 185 to $200 million per park no no no a year is what they're spending so in 2023 they're spending $180 to $185 million they said in 2023 editions for just the five parks or across the chain but those five parks are going to be the focus it's going to go up a little bit though but that's already higher than they normally they used to only spend $140 million and then you also said the other lesser parks like the mid size and smaller parks are also going to start getting attractions right yeah so they said like one smaller medium size park will be invested like a big attraction too they didn't say like flat ride they said big attraction so the $15-$20 million coasters that they technically shouldn't be getting but he said the medium size parks in certain markets were actually showing similar strength that the big park showed when that he also touched oh I should have said this the fast lane parks discontinuing fast lane plus Wonderland will not discontinue fast lane plus the parks that have discontinued fast lane plus were not selling regular fast lanes there weren't enough attractions to also have fast lane plus it was a mixture of things but the parks that still have fast lane plus in 2023 will be keeping fast lane plus because there's enough sales between the two to justify the two they're also working on a $300 plus season pass that they'll be launching in 2024 some parks have it in 2023 it's the prestige pass but it's going to be changing so every year they're going to change it based off of the feedback they're getting they want it to be like a fancy pass they want it to be like okay so once a month you'll be given this like opportunity to go do something cool or given something really cool so they're working on it they want to be able to charge like a super high amount we would buy that we would buy that so yeah what is Craig doing what are you doing back there I'm not doing anything I'm just listening haha um guys in the next when we do our hangout he'll be more up front he needs to be caught up on a lot um so worlds of fun is getting Zambezi Zinger would that be an example of one of those still major attraction but not like a $30 million giga coaster so that's pretty cool that's pretty good then I got one right here too I feel like even with this would you say this is a new business model that they're trying out or that they're implementing that they didn't do in previous years yeah so I think they're trying to really grow the revenue um again there's a key focus on so oh so they said this I already said this to you so they're going to open parks up earlier than they typically are but they're also going to have a new policy whereas if there's bad weather the park will be closed um so you can listen to the conference call they say it he literally in detail it's like a whole sentence where he's like we've already been doing it which they have actually if you pay attention on social media um he's like if you know the rain's coming in we'll close the park at 3 p.m. for inclement leather or if there's bad weather we'll close the park for inclement leather so he was like 2023 might actually have less operating days um then 2022 which is a big deal to stockholders means revenue so he was saying don't like take operating days if you see less as like a warning sign it's just because we're extending our calendar but that might actually not mean anything because we're actually closing the parks on um heavy rain days or storms but it's already been happening guys so if you haven't been noticing too much then I don't think there's going to be a drastic change it didn't sound like there was going to be a drastic change um so actually what I wanted to touch up before was that with this new business model it seems like that these smaller parks like Dorney Park World's a fun park that wouldn't see anything new for like 7-8 years will actually now get the opportunity to see more attractions more frequently they might not be like those big 30 million dollar investments but at least it's going to be something so that almost seems more fair yes I don't know about more frequently because how many 5 big how many parks to see 12, 13, 14 11 the water parks so then actually yeah it's about the same every 5-6 years but obviously just scaled down right yeah but you also have to take into account Michigan's Adventure as a family park so they'll never see anything big that's true and I mean they already have twisted timbers or shivering timbers so they don't need anything but I'm excited I'm excited Seater Fair seems like the best coaster company out there I don't care Six Flags Plans can come from my throat Six Flags sucks sucks I'm so happy my home park is a Seater Fair park I don't think anyone can even argue that anymore like it's so stupid um yeah so another thing then it seemed like bush gardens was also kind of doing this where every park was getting a coaster a year or a coaster every couple of years do you think Seater Fair was kind of looking at that and being like hey this looks successful for them let's maybe give that a shot no I don't the reason I say this is Seater Fair is really intelligent they deserve a lot of fucking credit one they are hiring the islands of adventure like atmosphere designer like the theming designer that's impressive for a regional chain park right their stock prices have been extremely healthy they're planning this is where I think they stand out I don't think they're looking at Six Flags at all I think they're trying to avoid Six Flags I think that there might be things that are similar like the prestige pass looks kind of like their memberships but it's not well you still have an option of just buying a regular season pass so what you do at Six Flags 2 now I think and now you do that you change in two weeks and their parks just look nicer their attractions look nicer like I really like this like the dive coaster at Dorney Park looks like it's going to be heavily themed too and that's a medium sized park like heavily themed like that's that's stunning like I'm excited and I just know that Wonderland like with like everything that we've been figuring out is like mmm mmm it's going to be exciting the next five you know six years are going to be very very changing for Wonderland yeah I'm trying to decide like I feel like I feel like I'm missing information I guess they can touch on a few things so I do know that Vortex there's signs that and maybe about to start I have drone footage I was going to upload it but I didn't have time to edit it so I was behind on the podcast so I'll work on that and what else anything else exciting going around the park their head on training which makes no sense to me I think Leviathan has one train on the track now too I couldn't tell like where I fly I can't get the right angle on Leviathan legally so I I'll go check it out the behemoth does have two yes the third one is ready to go they have it all assembled are they repainting Vortex that is part of the plans I don't know if it's in their budget we better know it because I have ten bucks on the because of Leviathan because of Leviathan's on my side I'm debating if we just end the stream at an hour and eight minutes and go over to our hangout session so people can ask us oh yes guys I have some parts these I think are pretty cool show them parts alright man go nuts so what we have here are three bolts from the void oh is that what they are? I thought you used them for other purposes yeah that's burnt ones for you hahahaha we have a three bolts from the voyage it's a wooden roller coaster with a steel skeleton structure so these two bolts here these are called large mooring bolts they are what keep the steel structure together so they fasten in there's nuts and locks on them so they fasten in this is actually a track rod so what this does is you can see the top is flat because the wheels of the coaster train are actually designed to roll over it so this will actually fasten down the running rail to all the laminated layers aboard now if you notice this one looks a lot more worn out than this this is this is pretty cool so this is just mild steel it's just regular steel it can't be chrome or anything because the running rail is also mild steel so it has to match the same material so it rusts and wears out evenly so there's not an uneven spot but these are not actually steel these are chromium so these can stay outside for 30 years water, acid, whatever and they will not rest I thought that was pretty cool mine is bad you didn't give them the bent one? that's accurate these were replaced on the voyage I got these in 2019 Hollywood Nights these were replaced in 2019 and they were 5 years old and this is another thing so holiday they retract approximately 2,000 feet of the voyage every single year so there's not a section of that ride that's over 5 years old so it's constantly being reworked constantly getting new parts it's pretty cool wonderland we can donate some of these but yeah that's that's about it for that why is yours bent? don't touch this is your wand and mine's the more fancy one mine crack is all bent up no no don't give me that one that's not my responsibility I feel like Harry Potter I can try unbend it no try it it's very strong what do you think you're going to bend it is it possible? no it's not possible how did that bend? what happened to the voyage? it's a very intense ride it's a very intense ride but yeah this is also you can find these parts on minebuster too most of these parts don't need to be replaced maybe once every 10-15 years but they do need to be replaced nothing lasts forever everything needs to be replaced derailed yes yes I mean no I'm trying to think if there was any other T there's certain things we don't spell because we have to keep them a secret too there's one really big secret forming that we can't talk about and it involves a ride removal that's all we'll say there is evidence of a ride removal so you know what maybe we should also um so we kind of brushed upon it earlier and we can talk about it later but next Sunday we're going to be going to winter chill out at cedar point an extremely extremely cool opportunity I've always wanted to go it's going to be super exciting so me and Brendan are going to be going we're going to be getting their tour seeing like the behind the scenes maintenance area there's a menu tasting and there's a Q&A where we're going to get to ask cedar point and cedar fair officials questions like you know about the park and stuff like that so I think that's going to be a pretty cool experience um you want to talk about next week's podcast oh oh oh oh oh oh Grace Peacock the next week's podcast at the very beginning it's going to be a totally different format for a podcast it's going to be centered around Grace because hello the queen um of wonderland is going to be taking over the podcast so honestly I think what you guys should do I would say go to my Instagram follow amusement insiders on Instagram but in the comment section not here because this I won't look at this live chat in the comment section after this live after it gets posted put a question that you would like to ask Grace she can be asked some future questions but a lot of them makes no sense to answer her if you ask her what's coming in 2025 she's not going to announce it on amusement insiders like maybe some operation questions she said she any questions she's going to submit to the department so that's why I need to get them in now um hopefully I want to send them to her on Monday so that she can ask Peter um Heather uh foods any of these questions and get the answer for you guys so in the comment section the actual comment section of this video after it gets posted please submit questions that you would like to for Grace to answer from any department or even about her job we could talk about like maybe her job description I think they could even do like park history like if you have a question about a previous attraction or something I'm sure they would love to answer that yeah I already have one question I want to ask her are there anything outside of Snoopy's Racing Railway and Tundra Twister that is new for 2023 at Wonderland because Wonderland is a park that sneaks in these little things these little upgrades so I want to see if she can spill anything on that that's about as far as you'll get out of her she's not going to answer 2024 she's not going to answer 2025 but you can get little things here and there um so yeah get your questions ready that's going to be super exciting we're going to do it like a Skype for Microsoft Microsoft teams um and she's going to be at Wonderland guys when she's on the podcast so it'll be really cool show us like her office but yeah so next week's podcast is going to be a little bit different might not be as long because then we're going to have to go to bed oh yeah so next week there won't be a hangout session after next week's podcast because we're going to go to bed we have to be at Cedar Point for 10 a.m. on Sunday so that means go to bed wake up at 3 a.m. and drive all the way there in beautiful Ohio I just choked you should have brought her to your basement no that'd be so embarrassing hi Grace welcome to the recording studio look at the time I need to go hahaha um but yeah we're going to go do a hangout now Craig will be in the hangout I'm sure you guys have a crap ton of questions or maybe want to talk to Craig make sure that he hasn't been kidnapped I mean for real um so we'll end this and then in about 5 minutes we'll take like a 5 minute break and then the next stream will start and it'll be a hangout and you guys Craig and you can do more talking jeez we gotta smoke break I'm caught alright see you guys in 5 minutes ok
