Themed land... Six Flags is known for parking lot coasters and Golden Kingdom could've been a parking lot land if they would've added one more coaster but they decided not to,
In Great Adv.'s defense they DID add a drop ride to Kingda Ka....but yeah-the area could use another ride or three.And it would help if it had a decent sit-down eatery.

Any guesses for who the next narrator could be?
A long shot but I'm hoping for Benedict Cumberbatch... Julie Andrews would be a natural pick, of course.
How about James Earl Jones or Patrick Stewart?

Disney World reverting the beautiful New Tomorrowland back to the plain and boring Old 70's Tomorrowland. Such a waste, and they clearly are doing it because its the cheapest and laziest option.
Maybe Disney is thinking "everything old is new again". I grew up with that 70's version of the future so it doesn't affect me much.
The only other option would be a total renovation of the facades-like what KI did to their International Street. What if WDW closed down Tomorrowland for 2 months in the 0ff-season and re-did it in a "Blade Runner" style?-you know, in time for WDW's 50th anniversary in2021?

I never rode The Crypt, but it was fun to watch at night.
-
Although I like small parks as much as the large ones, the return of Rocky Glen seems a far off chance, since there's nothing left of the original park.....unless I happen to win the lottery.....
-
Maybe SF could retheme Hurricane Harbor from "generic tropical island" to more of a "1950's Tiki bar/Beach Boys surfer rock" theme.
-
I think Great Adv. should do what Carowinds finally did and buy a franchise hotel: they'll get managerial assistance and national publicity, but still get the majority of profit. And it would probably increase attendance during Fright Fest and HITP.
-
I think the queue and station for the Jersey Devil should be made to look like a paranormal museum-that is, there are displays of pictures , footprints , etc. that could be either real or "unauthenticated" and they show videos of actual Jersey Devil investigations(Destination Truth did a decent one a long time ago).
-
I think it would be cool if the Big Wheel kept the floral pattern but added "chaser" lights to it.
-
How about B:TR getting a 2-tone blue makeover like SFOG? Or have it be an all-grey one?
-
What if Great Adv. built their own version of Escape From Pompeii or Journey To Atlantis? It could literally be themed to any section they put it in.
-
Great Adv. should get a clone of either KD's Scooby-Doo(but themed after a Looney Tunes character) or Grona Lund's Twister.
-
I think they should rebuild Rolling Thunder with Topper Track and lap bar-only trains.
-
A merger seems farfetched to me-but then again I've seen stranger things(ex: coasters with 7 or more loops; coasters going over 200 and then 300 feet....).
The only good thing that comes to mind for me is that I would be able to spend more time at KD(SFA being my home park).
-
Has any other parks shown interest in buying the rides? It would be a shame for Hellcat to be destroyed.

Is there any chance Vortex could be sold to SFA and built near Batwing(under the name of Riddler's Revenge or Bizarro)?
-
I think Six Flags should continue to slowly improve the parks as a whole. Next year most of SF's parks are getting at least one flat ride; the year after they could add another one or add new live entertainment and upgrade park infrastructure.
As for specific parks getting specific rides in 2021,my main hope is that SFA gets new trains and a new name for their SLC.

Guess what? SFA did just that for their S:ROS:at the time the park had a 200-foot height limit, so the lift hill was built to 198,and the first drop went down 205 feet into a below-grade ditch.
-
Normally I don't do water rides but even I'm excited by the commercial
!
-
If SFA could finally build a restroom near S:ROS and hype as an "improvement for 2019" then I'm sure Great Adv. could do the same by adding LED lights to the Big Wheel.
-
If no one in Las Vegas wants it then SF should get it and retheme it to The Flash.

I got the survey today. As much as I would like to stay at a hotel on site maybe once or twice a year, the suggested $249.99 price is way more than I would be willing to pay especially if the other hotels being built nearby are less money.
The one I got also had the $249.99 price-but for SFA as well as Great Adv..I said it would be out of my price range for both because-A:SFA is my home park(I live very close!) and B:I've been to Great Adv./NJ enough to know what I'm getting into.
Hopefully SF puts some serious thinking /planning into the hotels,and by that I mean they either lease out space to a chain(like Great Wolf)or be like Carowinds and buy into a franchise.
Also,when I took the survey I said that the hotels should appeal to both registered guests(by having special incentives like early entry) and non-guests(like restaurants/nightclubs that nearby residents would/could go to),

Is the cat "free for good home"
??
I would like to be a ride op

If you DO become a ride op you could "accidentally" call the ride the "wrong name": like calling Bizarro Medusa (or Dominator)or calling Green Lantern Chang.
You could also have informal polls of the people in the station like:"Raise your hand if you rode Chiller".
