Well you weren’t wrong… hopefully this is enough proof for you to stop being worried that six flags might view this park as non-core

Looking Forward: A New Chapter for Six Flags

But this was in the gadv coaster thread so I thought the announcement for that was gonna be todayLooking Forward: A New Chapter for Six Flags
No, this is more perceived support for the idea that SFE is still going down in flames under CF's ownership, and it will eventually take GAdv with it. The context is the particulars of the 2027 coaster, which is more evidence that improvements are just lipstick on a free-falling pig. Surely, we must assume by this argument, GAdv could be on the list of the next round of parks sold off by the company. I don't believe any of this, but that's the counter-argument that's been articulated and why this announcement came up in this thread.

Yeah, them selling a bunch of non-core parks that have gotten hardly any to no investment the past 15 years surely means they are also going to sell off a park they are currently building a 400ft roller coaster for.
Exactly. To me, every sign points to cautious optimism at the investment and planning for a better park, like the 2027 coaster, not the opposite.

The Enchanted parks were obviously non-core (that doesn't mean they're bad or disposable, just using their own language). The verbiage to which I've referred previously is regarding parks that are currently core becoming non-core if the response to major investment isn't good. I don't believe any of these parks received major investment under SFEC as a combined entity, so it really wouldn't apply to them anyways.

I agree with your assessment. The Enchanted Parks were already seen as non-core by SFEC. I do think this means that Great Adventure *is* a core park for now though. If they had any near-term plans of offloading the park I’m sure it would’ve been with this deal, so they’re at least testing the park to see how it does with Phantom Spire.
Yeah I can't recall doubting that Great Adventure is currently considered a "core park." I think the quote that I linked makes it clear that "core parks" aren't safe either because their status is subject to reevaluation after a large investment. Great Adventure is getting a large investment. I happen not to like the large investment.
and that's how I became Satan on the Great Adventure board on ParkFans.net
Plenty of people, myself included, have expressed dislike for the new addition (I am not a fan of spinning coasters period, and will likely only ride this once for the credit), while still acknowledging the fact that such a substantial investment in such a substantial ride is unquestionably good for the park, good for the vast majority of enthusiasts, and good for the GP.
What we don't do is irrationally claim that it's the final nail in the coffin for the park and babble incoherently about how everyone and their grandmother will never forgive the park for demolishing Ka so it doesn't matter what they add ever again.
I went back through your posts and gathered some quotes to read again:
I'll admit, you do imply in the last on that you consider Great Adventure to be a "core" park currently, but the sentiment overall seems to be that SFEC is deliberately sabotaging the park even with the investment into Phantom Spire. I just cannot consider a world in which a company would invest millions into a park which they have no intention of keeping long term, or even in the 5 year range.
Then there's really not a reason to derail the thread to prove, or disprove, absolutely nothing new.
I can. I don't invalidate the fact that others cannot (save for the few corporate dickriding comments I make when it gets very blatant), but I can.
It seems moreso than disagreeing with, or even assessing the legitimacy of, my beliefs, some users are dedicated in pursuit of fixing a perceived attitude problem. To be fair to all the thread inflation haters I'm quite sick of this now too
Another day, another reply to the reply farmer. Exhausting. I just wanna come here for news on the project, man
Oh wow look a new reply ! How hard I worked to elicit off-topic drivel
Drone Flight today!
I went to Prospertown lake to take some shots of nitro from outside the park. A guy was there flying a drone and he sent me these! The parks boneyard is full of ka parts and pieces and i wish they would auction off some or sell something. Thought i would share!
I don’t think he flew over the park as his drone was having some technical difficulties when it tried to go further. Hopefully my friends will go out again and fly the drone over the park so we get some fresh pictures of the track!

4 new shipments arrived on 3/6/26. It's going to be crazy seeing all of the track and supports in the parking lot by the time opening day comes around.
