This week, Mike and EB are joined by theme park expert Arthur Levine to discuss the most anticipated roller coasters of 2025. They preview Alpine Fury at Canada's Wonderland, Georgia Goldrusher at Six Flags Over Georgia, and the unbelievable Falcon's Flight in Saudi Arabia. Plus, they talk about the potential of Lost Island Theme Park and the highly anticipated Epic Universe, showcasing unique experiences like Donkey Kong Minecart Madness, Curse of the Werewolf and Stardust Racers.

Last week, Six Flags Over Georgia shocked the theme park world by giving their originally-new-for-2024-but-now-new-for-2025 roller coaster - formerly known as a Georgia Surfer - a new name and backstory, before the coaster ever gave its first rides. It led us to think about other coasters whose names have changed and as coaster enthusiasts, we're inclined to pick one name or another. John and Evan join Andrew for a game of "this or that" when it comes to past or current names for roller coasters. You can connect with the show by hitting us up on social media @Coaster101: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram.

Hendricks was allegedly driving a van on the Six Flags Over Georgia grounds with multiple occupants in the rear cargo compartment, including two juveniles, without seatbelts or seats. The van's sliding door was reportedly open. Hendricks is accused of operating the van in a manner that ejected Crook while navigating a left curve, leading to serious head injuries. Crook was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital. Hendricks was released on $27,720 bond. STORY 2: Acworth Police Name Suspect in Card Theft from Assisted Living Facility The Acworth Police Department has identified Markinious Katrell Hartfield of New Orleans as the suspect who allegedly used stolen credit and debit cards from an assisted living facility. Hartfield, who presents as female despite being male, is charged with first-degree burglary, credit card forgery, identity theft, and exploiting a disabled or elderly person. He has multiple arrests for similar incidents in other jurisdictions. The stolen cards were used at Walmart, and Hartfield was captured on surveillance cameras. The suspect, not employed by the facility, allegedly entered the business wearing scrubs similar to staff uniforms, checking residents' doors and entering unlocked rooms. Acworth Police suspect additional victims and encourage residents to check financial statements for fraudulent activities.     STORY 3: McEachern Basketball Standout JD Palm Has Both Kidneys Removed McEachern High School junior center JD Palm is facing a critical situation as he underwent surgery to remove both kidneys due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, diagnosed last spring.

Now in need of a donor, Palm's coach, Tremayne Anchrum Sr., is reaching out for help, emphasizing the urgency of finding a match for the young player.

Ragsdale commended Marietta City Schools for their similar efforts. The initial bans were prompted by an email from the right-wing social media group Libs of TikTok. Ragsdale asserted that once sexually explicit content is identified, it is the district's responsibility to protect students and inform parents. The ongoing review aims to identify and remove such materials. Critics argue that the bans disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ content, leading to concerns about the targeting of the LGBTQ+ community. Public commenters, including high school senior Ava Bussey, expressed opposition to the book bans, citing the impact on LGBTQ+ students and urging the district to listen to students' needs for a successful learning environment. STORY 5: Cobb Leaders Break Ground on Mableton Workforce Development Center Cobb County is set to establish the Cobb WorkSource Center in Mableton, with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by over 50 people. The $4 million project, funded by $2.8 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and grants, aims to become a hub for workforce development, offering training rooms, a computer lab, and business coaching services. The 10,000-square-foot center will replace Cobb Fire Station 1 on Mableton Parkway, addressing the need for workforce development services in the southern part of the county. The initiative aligns with the county's commitment to equity, focusing on areas with high concentrations of low-income and minority communities. We'll be back in a moment.   Break: GCPS   STORY 6: Ragsdale Announces Location for $50 Million Event Center The Cobb County Board of Education plans to build a $50 million, 8,000-seat event building on Glover Street next to the district's headquarters. The facility, approved in a 6-1 vote in March 2023, is intended for hosting events like science fairs, art presentations, and graduation ceremonies. The property, spanning over 10 acres, includes the former A1 Rental facility, the district's police department headquarters, and a demolished building at 440 Glover Street. The new event center aims to fill a void in the northern part of Cobb County, providing a space for various activities. Board member Becky Sayler has expressed concerns about additional costs and lack of clarity regarding the project's expenses. Board Chairman Randy Scamihorn anticipates the new facility's potential and the need for improvements to the police department headquarters, with construction timelines yet to be determined. STORY 7: 'A Different Mindset': Cobb School Board Talks New Career Center The Cobb County School Board is considering options to enhance post-secondary education by approving an architect for a new career center in north Cobb. The board plans to engage Atlanta-based Collins Cooper Carusi Architects to design the center, funded by the sixth education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (Ed-SPLOST) at an estimated cost of over $700,000. The center, mandated to be in north Cobb per the SPLOST project list, aims to provide students with alternative pathways to traditional four-year colleges. The district is currently exploring suitable locations for the center, with a central north Cobb location suggested for better accessibility. Additionally, the board discussed the development of a $50 million multi-use facility approved in March 2023, which is expected to host various events such as science fairs, arts presentations, and graduation ceremonies. BREAK: DRAKE STORY 8: Major airline fires back at analyst over bankruptcy claims The airline industry, known for its challenges, faces uncertainties with potential bankruptcies. Warren Buffett's past skepticism resonates, as airlines like JetBlue and Spirit grapple with financial woes. Analysts, including TD Cowen's Helene Becker, express concerns about Spirit Airlines' survival, pointing to its debt and financial constraints. While Spirit denies pursuing Chapter 11, analysts suggest bankruptcy restructuring as a viable option. The airline's future hinges on debtholder cooperation, given its financial vulnerabilities. Fitch Ratings urges a clear liquidity plan. Despite potential disruptions, bankruptcy doesn't guarantee passenger abandonment. Spirit's decision to resist a merger with JetBlue adds complexity to its fate, impacting consumers and the airline industry. Spirit asserts ongoing efforts to fortify its balance sheet and operations.   Break: INGLES 1 – Henssler :60  Signoff-   Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal podcast.
