  1. A splash battle or new water ride would be nice, especially with how hot the summers gave been. I would really love to see more entertainment options in all of the show venues.
  2. Just call the park DC Land already. The overuse of superhero IPs disappoints me as it prevents more original themes suited to their section and they keep hacking away at what was their greatest themed area in the Golden Kingdom.
  3. I always make it out to Dorney's haunt because the quality and atmosphere is so much better. Their main problem is location, it just can't draw the same crowds as GA. Fright Fest's biggest problem is that skates by on brand recognition, they don't need to go all out to make money, they just need to make it "good enough" and the crowds will continue to come in droves.
  4. Dorney Park? Michigan's Adventure? They CLOSED Geauga Lake. They're just as bad, dude
  5. I went on a Windseeker at King's Dominion and I much prefer starflyers, you feel much more open and free.
  6. Everyone take a deep breath and chill. We'll get whatever we get and then can judge it once we know the specifics.
  7. Hey, I once predicted Chang as an April Fools joke on GAdv Online, and then it became true. Maybe lightning will strike twice.
  8. We don't need a giga. The first US megalite on the other hand...
  9. I wish I would hear something about entertainment offerings. I would love something like Glow in the Park for night time. I wonder if attendance numbers stayed higher toward the end of the night because of shows like that. I know it works for Disney, but thats because most people are staying on site at their resorts. Maybe if we finally got the hotel it would make more sense.
  10. I'd rather them just remove it in a few years, and move it to SFStL. That's a prime spot for a Dive Machine around 2020
  11. A free fly is something unique that only we'd have in the Northeaat. It's something you can't easily ride somewhere else and will draw crowds. Anything that makes El Toro's line shorter I'm ok with.
  12. This. People are still willing to pay for the trails and at this point it's been around long enough that the public has just accepted it as a part of the event now. I highly doubt we've seen the end paying as much as I hate it.
  13. Ka and Toro were both Premier additions. Management changed hands in the middle of Toro's construction. RedZone would've axed the coaster but it had already started construction. The chain is still recovering from the bankruptcy even though it's been years. It's hard to convince creditors to give you money for huge additions when a chapter 11 is still fresh in their minds. That's why we still see trainwraps and ads plastered everywhere. We'd need to see a huge capital injection to see the likes of Golden Kingdoms again.
  14. The online coupon site they use doesn't have a terror trail coupon. But they'll probably still charge, it's too lucrative to give up Wish they'd revive the hayride
  15. You haven't even ridden it. It could be awesome for all you know. I thought Tempesto looked terrible at BGW and it turned out to be awesome and a lot of fun once I rode it. Keep an open mind.
  16. Don't rule out 2 big coasters opening back to back. Ka(05) and Toro(06). Chiller(97) and Chiller(98).
  17. It forces you to go through the games area. From a business standpoint, its brilliant and I doubt it will change anytime soon. The only way I see them opening it back up is if they put a new ride in the old Balin's Jungleland. If I had my way, they'd build a Rainforest Cafe there to give the park a sorely needed table service restaurant.
  18. Rode it today. What a waste of space and money. I can't believe that a carnival ride replaced Rolling Thunder. The statue was the coolest part and probably cost more than the ride itself. Today I waited in a line for every coaster except for this because it's so underwhelming and cheap. I would of rather them save the money for a more major addition next year. I really wish they would've given RT the iron horse treatment instead of this disappointment. With all of these obnoxious ads everywhere, $25 to park, and hugely expensive day tickets, we should be able to afford something better than this...
  19. Worked well enough for the Living Seas. You're right Harry, Epcot needs that one ultimate defining ride like Tower of Terror or Expedition Everest. Epcot is in a kind of identity crisis, I would love to see them reposition themselves toward the 10-18 demographic and invest in some high thrill rides. Who knows, maybe we'll see a B&M one day.
