When I saw the title I was like "YESSS!" and then I read the post. You got my hopes up!

You know you’re truly in the Six Flags era when the park starts teasing about positive, added experiences for guests.

Is there even a room up there? I always thought it was the elevator shaft.

I mean, I’d say we understand that there isn’t room up there, but in looking at some of the comments on Instagram this morning it looks like a lot of people thought it was legit. It’s not a wildly crazy concept given our proximity to opening day and the fact that the real ET offers dining…

I’m all about a good joke, some have said I am one. But kind of a weird one that might mislead followers. 

There's certainly some amount of room on the bottom (long closed) observation deck, but that would surely be too good of an experience for the park to offer (/s). Also, I know Six Flags is purging a lot of employees, but is there really nobody in the office who can photoshop something over a real picture of the Eiffel Tower? I can't dictate if places are allowed to use AI to make stuff, but Cedar Point's April Fools joke looked like it had a little more effort put into the images than just typing the prompt, generating, and posting. 

Despite all of the AI, I did enjoy the April Fools joke on the Season Passholder page as well lol. 

Honestly The Racer going backwards would be a great return, not going to lie I did fall for the April Fools Day prank! 

Just possible enough with The Racer to get me.

I have to admit, I didn't see the backwards racer joke until today. That would be awesome If they brought that back, but the maintenance team would never allow it.

That 50' platform sure has space..but ADA access is not there, and the elevators do not stop there.
