I have never ridden an S&S Free Spin which might change next month if I go to SFFT. Are they actually fun rides and people complain too much? Or do they actually hurt like a standup coaster/SLC? I'm very optimistic about the addition as a replacement for the Crypt so hopefully I don't fall into the hater camp on these lol.
Why are they called 4D when they are practically 2D?
From what I have been told the S&S 4D coasters are not uncomfortable. And I'm told they are fun if you don't get sick on rides that flip. Sometimes they flip a lot and sometimes not much, and it also varies by specific one. I'm worried I will get queasy, but I still want to try one.
One of the results mentioned Ramesses's mummy. Could that bar code be a reference to that?
I very much enjoyed Joker at SFGAdv, but a lot like spinning coasters, some rides were better than others. The sensation of moving vertically and laterally while also flipping is exhilarating and disorienting and unlike anything else I've experienced, although the experience depends heavily on how much your car spins. Sometimes you'll flip constantly throughout the ride, but on other rides you'll be stuck with a series of jarring (and somewhat disappointing) half-spins.
I think the variability in the ride experience is why reviews are so mixed about the ride; if you catch a bad ride, it's nothing to write home about, but when the ride is fun, it's fun. That's probably why enthusiast reviews of the ride are so mixed.
Given the compact nature of this ride, it will probably take 14-16 weeks to construct. I have a feeling you are not going to see much of anything happening this summer. At best, there might be some basic land prep in late summer. This is not a major coaster where land clearing would be starting about now.
I don't think this has been posted anywhere yet, but Cedar Fair's CEO Richard Zimmerman stated in the company's Q1 earnings call that construction on 2022 projects is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of the year:
Neptune is the crew that runs Flying Ace Ballon Race, Lucy’s Tugboat, Peanuts Road Rally, Peanuts Turnpike, Snoopy vs Red Baron, and Boo Blasters btw.
I’m not so sure. I don’t really see the correlation. The rides in that area are either relatively new or really popular, so I don’t really see the need to get rid of any of them unless they have a lot of technical problems I don’t know about.
Unless it's an official Planet Snoopy addition and they were actually taking those rides out to make space, there shouldn't be correlation.
I can't imagine for such small low-speed rides that there'd be but so much for maintenance to have to do to them on any regular basis.

Does anyone have a guess to when they might announce the free spin I know it’s definitely not until they start construction
Historically, they have made announcements in the middle of August.
