  1. Knowing how their marketing team works if they ever added new effects they would market it as a "new ride".

     

    It wouldn't be that much money to add some lights or props. They spend plenty of money fixing up the park with paint and landscaping. That doesn't make the park any money, but its what you have to do. And that should go the same with giving these rides some TLC once in a while and keeping them up to date.

  2. The Grandstand area will revert back to more of its orginal natural state with some landscaping (rocks, grass, mulch, etc.). The views are really nice without the stadium blocking the lake.

    Im telling you if they take inspiration from the Srpuce Street Harbor Park and add the right lighting, some nice benches and chairs, neon lights in the trees of fantasy forest, that whole area could be perfect for taking a moment to relax and take pictures. Then they could add a beer garden eventually ;)
  3. It seems like a missed opportunity for me with one thing: had we not renamed LD into El Diablo just last year, I think that TM would have been perfect it was called the Jersey Devil. The color scheme is perfect, and I know I keep harping on that name but hey I love my home state. Fly with the Devil! Haha oh well.. Maybe one day in the future.

    Here is my very poor sketch of what i think it'll be.

     

    Pink-how far back the side path will be between Blackbeards and TM.

    Orange-queue house/line

    Yellow-Where queue line splits to each side of station/also connects with exit.

    Green-Exit

    Red line- Ride (measured in at 259f from brochure)

    So of the ride's layout is only as long as the fort, then what are they gonna do with the grandstand's area?

  5. I feel like every year we go "well next year will definitely be Movietown, Old country, or the Simulator Building!" But then they end up clearing out a whole other area and then add a new attraction there.

     

    Movietown has had no love since 2008's TDKC

    The simulator was removed back in 2010.

    And Old Country has been a wasteland for ever but I feel like thats an ideal location for HITP.

    In my opinion, I am really happy it is not named for another super hero in yet another area of the park.

    And it's funny how except for TM and the super loops pretty much every park got a ride named after a DC superhero/villain. I'll admit I am kinda jealous of SFOT's additions. I feel like those three would go great in Movietown. Maybe next year? ;)

     

    And I'm only a little let down bc the rumor of the taller model of the free spin was put out there, but hey what can you do? Also I personally wouldnt color it red and orange. Definitely Blue and white or Silver along the lake would look better, but maybe if we complain enough we can get that to happen. Lol

  7. For my birthday last week I decided to visit the Spruce Street Harbor Park in Philly, and while I was there I thought wow this would be great to have at GA along the lakefront. if you haven't been to the SSHP it's pretty cool, they have neon lights hanging from the trees with tons of hammocks for couples to lounge in, a mini arcade, outside games like giant chess, bocce, shuffle board, connect 4, and ping pong, along with a giant floating beer garden on the river. I could see us adding something similar to the lakefront so adults can have a nice area to go to and enjoy a beer. Bc honestly the only areas that sell beer confine you into a small area that isn't really enjoyable. I would love to walk along the lake and enjoy a drink. So say if the new attraction doesnt take up the whole area why couldnt they build something similar to SSHP? Parents can enjoy the lake while their kids take a ride on whatever the new ride is and still be close enough to watch over them.
