The original name of that section of the park, Woodland Gardens, could even make a return!

I never knew that

Since Parks removing their go-karts, might as well remove the whole building too. They can move the slingshot and 3-point shoot where Twister and/or the Parachutes are. I think a Gerstlauer infinity coaster would be cool there. However 1. Six Flags doesn't work Gerstlauer and 2. Hydrus might be a hinderance if issue one is resolved.

I see if Runaway Mine Train goes at some point, might as well remove the fort. The Wild West theme is not that popular anymore so its not that hard of a decision to make.

If only the skyride goes, then be my guest and give it an overhaul it because you don't need a majority of it anymore and people still want the historical significance of it.

What would be some parks worth acquiring? I can see Great Escape switch hands.

Maybe Magic Springs, which is about on par with Wild Adventures being an amusement park (just no animals). I'm sure there are more tourist traps out there, but this would give the company virtually a monopoly with parks in three tourist trap cities.

I was also thinking of a park in the Pacific Northwest, not sure which one though. Personally, I see Silverwood a good fit as a lower tier Cedar Fair Park (between Worlds of Fun and Kings Dominion) as they could experiment with more Northwestern US themes, but not go full tilt like the Ohio Parks, Carowinds, Wonderland, or Knott's.

That is great news. It's so rare to see a Schwarzkopf relocated especially to the US. I have always wanted to try Olympia Looping and this looks like the next best option and a lot easier to get to.

I did have a what if for Laser coming back State-side for an event in southern California, but it's apart of a fanfiction piece.

Yeah, maybe close the rides as a compromise unless there is a full lockdown

GCI's new Titan Track will be installed on Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake.

Guess we can put RMC Predator ideas to rest

Why would you remove El Toro? It's typically a rated as a top 5 coaster in the world.

I personally find the ride very rough, but I feel its removal would constitute a new theme for the area-which I want more than Ka/Zu or El Toro's removal right now. That's why if I made a bet, I would put my money on Twister.

For Great Adventure: 

My top choice is Twister, second would be making the Safari a third gate again.

I think Golden Kingdom has a few years left. However, based off the removal of Volcano when it probably had a longer service life, it might end up being closer to 2025 than 2030 (but by then for sure).

A part of me wants to remove El Toro, but a part of me wants to expand the area with a Day of the Dead Dark Ride and a Zamerla Endevour called El Sombero.

Dare Devil Dive at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is pretty much almost done maybe even done. I hope they start construction on Jersey Devil soon!

ACE got to ride it a few weeks ago

This entire development needs new management. Any person on this forum could do at least 10x better the morons in charge.

The Miami project is probably canned. It would both be a smart and dumb move at the same time to demolish it. It's not like one of the NY teams wants to be build a new Stadium (The MLB teams got new stadiums in 2009, Met Life in 2010 right next door).

TBH, they are in the right with NO FOOD PERIOD with the times we are in, but it could still be cheaper with 20% capacity limit.

Yeah, put that where Twister is, that area has a lot of stand/sitting (maybe not as much right now, but still) area so it will easily have the space for people to see it)

Since they already have a lot of kiddie rides in storage, I say kids area in 2022 because that's a cheap addition.

I can see Zamperla Super Air Race where Spin Meister was themed to Scarecrow, an Endevour to replace El Diablo.

I also feel removing the go-karts and the simulator building would be a good idea, even it just expands the entrance plaza (I slightly feel Ka/Zu would be removed before Superman and Green Lantern, but they will probably all hit their service life/too annoying to throw money at around the same time)

2024 is only 3.5 years away now.

In the past 10 years the park has:

Removed a Kids Area, rethemed another

Removed 2 coasters (GASM, Rolling Thunder, 3 if one counts Road Runner-but that's in storage)

Added 3 coasters (Green Lantern, Joker, Jersey Devil-technically)

Did a huge flat expansion (Adventure Alley)

Merged the park and Safari into 1, and revered that (temporarily?)

Strapped a drop tower on to Kingda Ka (I could see both lasting another decade)

added and removed a Super Loop, and replaced the last of Old Country with 2 cool looking flats

added a high callibur dark ride

added a Christmas event

We might see Road Runner reinstalled in National Park in 2021 alongside the debut of Jersey Devil, with a kids area expansion and waterslide in 2022 w/ removal of Twitser, a multi-flat ride expansion (Zamperla Endevour in Plaza Del Carnival, Twsiter replacement, Scarecrow's Barnstormer across from Sky Screamer at the side entrance to DC Universe) in 2023, and just a celebration year-possibly a new entrance and the removal of the Go-Karts and old sim building in 2024, then i'd start work on a revitalization of Boardwalk/Enchanted Forrest.

If the park does eventually get a hotel, just plonk it where the gas station is-it's not like that'll ever operate again with a Wawa outside the park. You're about an hour for most of the North & Central Jersey beaches, does start to become a bit of a hike Atlantic City south though (2 hrs to the Cape May Lighthouse) if one wanted to use a potential park hotel as the base for a New Jersey park trip (2-3 days at Great Adv, a day for Keansburg and Jenkinson's, a day at Casino; Steel; and Castaway Cove [Wonderland too if one wants], move to a hotel in the Wildwoods and do a day or 2 at Morey's) 

They do say you can build a Raptor rather quick and they are already halfway done and everything is on site now.

I hate not being able to link my source due to conflicts with my job, but pre-pandemic I am almost positive a family coaster was planned for the area. Would explain the construction manager and staff inspecting the area. Take this with a grain of salt, though.

well they did remove Road Runner Express. I think a new Vekoma SFC would be cool next to Jersey Devil (I was originally putting it where the old splash pad was in Adventure Rivers, but that is apart of Jersey Devil's queue now I believe)

I've canoed in the Pine Barrens, they should do something with that, even if it means that's the only thing they do for the season

It's nice to see Six Flags is refreshing their website with a cleaner look.  The beta version is only available at https://www.sixflags.com/overtexas right now.

 

I don't see a huge difference, the background might be a bit different, but its not something worth shouting about

Sounds good that the Safari will be open till Thanksgiving. I kinda expect Holiday in the Park to be Black Friday through the first weekend of the New Year.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom: Delayed Sidewinder Safari and animal facilities improvements (delay original 2021 addition)

Six Flags Magic Mountain: Jersey Devil "Clone" (a little longer because it has a pre-lift and longer break run, could also be taller)

Six Flags Mexico: Zamperla Endeavour (I honestly don't care enough to see what this park needs)

Six Flags Fiesta Texas: Kids Section Re theme to DC Super Friends or Screampunk District continuation (similar to the multi-year plan that Movie Town at GA had)

Six Flags Over Texas: Delayed Aquaman Power Wave and New Restaurant (I feel they were going to get the year off anyway, but maybe Magic Mountain was a fluke)

Six Flags St. Louis: Catwoman's Whip and RMC Boss (Catwoman's right over there so they could do a complete refresh of that area all at once, but I am most likely wrong)

Six Flags Great America: Delayed Tsunami Surge and something smaller for the main park (maybe they were supposed to get 2 rides for 2021, but will only install the less interesting one like how SFNE got Cyborg, then Supergirl)

Six Flags Over Georgia: Riddler Mindbender and new restaurant (I could see a new flat or retheme of an existing attraction)

Six Flags America: Delayed Harley Quinn Spinsanity and removal of Batwing. 

Six Flags Darien Lake: Delayed Wahoo Wave and S&S Free Spin (I feel that would work well across from the Boomarang by the lakeside)

Six Flags New England: Delayed Super Girl Sky Flyer and new QSR in water park. Removal of Goliath, possibly Flashback too.

Frontier City: Funtime Vomatron (Frontier Outlaw), Diamondback replacement

Great Escape: Delayed Funtime Vomatron and Kids Area addition

La Ronde: Zamperla Endeavour and the Delayed Viper

Who wants to bet that some, if not all, the Six Flags parks will do this due to COIVD?

I thought I already mentioned this but I ate at the Hard Rock there once. Spring 2013 sticks in my mind. I would spend the night on Constellation in Spring 2017-I have two goofy videos on my YT channel from that (but not on the ship).

I can see them trying Texas again. The Walmart near Six Flags Over Texas was where the second Sesame Place was. They could also acquire the Sesame Park in Mexico. Ohio and Ontario I also think are good markets.

Wildcard: Shliterbahn Kansas City -> Sesame Place Kansas City?

If we do have Holiday in the Park this year, I would imagine meeting Santa is out.

 

People will be pissed if they can't. Knoebles is doing a drive through event. Great Adventure could do that. They already reopened the Safari this year so they could do winter lights again.

It was actually land that was never used by the park, just empty land a block away from SeaWorld/WildWater Kingdom

Maybe just go back to early 90's old school FF and just mainly have decorated midways? The biggest concern is the warning of the second wave for Covid19, which is why many businesses are cancelling fall and Halloween events as premptive measures. I would not be surprised if Christmas and other winter holiday events are cancelled too this year. 

Canada's Wonderland's Winterfest was too successful last year from what I saw. Some parks might also just throw in the towel after Labor Day (or earlier)
