    So I was looking at the map of great adventure today and I realized something: Despite all the forest around Six Flags, its gonna be hard to easily expand in the future. Over on the Bizarro side of the park the Safari cuts off expansion. On the other side, the backstage facilities would force a ton of buildings to be torn down and be rebuilt, which would be extremely expensive. They can't expand into the premiere parking lot, because that would mess with the front entrance. Expansion into the lot by Kingda Ka would require reworking of paths around Kingda Ka. Filling in all of or part of Switlik Lake would be very pricey, but worth it with the removal of the grandstand. I think the only feasible option is removing rides. And If they remove stuff, I think a good portion of Old Country and movie town is due to go. The first I think would be the two theaters, followed by dark knight, followed by batman. This is all just speculation, but to me It makes sense.

    Yeah I get that. I think it's just the stiff most likely to go away because of how little it's used.

    In my six years as a passholder, I've never been to a fright fest. I'm gonna go this year definitely for the new VR ride. One thing I've realized though is that going during the day early in the morning before fright fest is the way to go. On some days I've found that the park is almost empty.

    I think the observatory area is where Justice League is going. If it wasn't I would definitely agree with you.

    Yeah I had a pretty dickish ride operator on bizzaro. There was no line so he was screwing around with the ride staff and kept releasing the restraints as we were about to leave the station. It took us like 10 minutes to get out and another 20 to get off because we had two cars in front of us. Not a good experience. Pissed off a lot of people on the ride. I was wondering if anyone else who had been to the park in the last few weeks has had the same experience I had. We were on Bizzaro at around 1:00 and there was no line to be seen. Because of this, the main ride operator kept screwing around with the rest of the ride staff. He was releasing the restraints after they had all been checked, messing around with retracting the floor which almost made one kid fall down onto the track, messing around with the air gates, and making the load time 10 minutes for a half filled car. We then waited 20 minutes on the end of the brake run to be able to get off. I didn't get his name, but has anyone else had bad experinces with this guy?

    Bummer. I was watching this video the other day about Six Flags ride times and one of the coasters with VR had a 9 minute dispatch time.
  7. joe26713
    I would love to see a Boneyard spotlight if that's in anyway possible
  8. joe26713
    Yeah it's six flags I wouldn't be surprised. You can dream though
  9. joe26713
    I was thinking these are really the two options for a new coaster in MovieTown. You can either have one with a really compact layout, similarly to Batman, or you can have one with a slightly larger footprint, like a Green Lantern. (not saying it should be either of those types of coasters, just based on their size)
  10. joe26713
    For sure. Dark rides have been one of the only holes in our lineup. This will definitely cement GA as the best Six Flags park. If we add another cool coaster in the next few years, we may even top Cedar Point
  11. joe26713
    Maybe Adventure World? Or "No Good Coasters in 10 Years Land"?
  12. joe26713
    That's awesome. I've had a pass for 6 years now and its money well spent. Can't wait to see what they do in upcoming seasons
  13. joe26713
    I mean it would make sense for them to open up that area. You could add some new stuff back there and have more room for rides without taking any big rides down.
  14. joe26713
    maybe a good point. they could re-theme it for the Looney Tunes or kids safari area. If you give it a new coat of paint it might be cool. Then they could put a frisbee in the place of dark knight they could use some of the old country space for a new coaster.
  15. joe26713
    I think they could put a cool flat ride there. I don't know if an outdoor wild mouse would be good at GA
  16. joe26713
    Yeah when you walk toward the catering entrance. That area back there is Old Country
  17. joe26713
    Actually there is. We know at this point that Justice League is going in the place of the Chiller. They've been doing a lot of prep work on the site over the seaon, and the only way to really access this site is by going into the Old Country area. I would think this means that area'll be open.
  18. joe26713
    Ok thanks. I remember seeing signs for it earlier in the year, and the inflatable was down for a while. Recently they put it up again and I wasn't sure why because I thought it was over.
  19. joe26713
    I'm probably just out of the loop, but what's up with the street fighter inflatable in Movie Town? It showed up in between two of my last trips, and it's just sitting there empty. Is it something for fright fest I assume?
  20. joe26713
    Who would be interested to remove and replace Dark Knight? It was a movie tie in ride, and is coming up on 10 years in the park. I think that, along with the fact that it's just a wild mouse make it a prime contender to be replaced with something more interesting. I think with Justice League coming next year, the redevelopment of that side of the park could be good, and I just don't see a need for Dark knight?
  21. joe26713
    I think maybe they could rebrand Movie Town as a DC themed area.
  22. joe26713
    I got stuck near the top of the Nitro lift hill once. We had to walk all the way down the steps, and it was pretty scary. Hope I never have to do that again.
  23. joe26713
    I really hope they've improved the VR from the one at Six Flags America. It's not well synced to the ride itself and the dispatch times are close to 10 minutes. Hopefully they've improved operation.
  24. joe26713
    I hope they add some more stuff to the Old Country area. I think they could take out the Autobahn and add the Giant Frisbee there. Can we get a consensus whether or not there's a chance of them taking out Showcase Theater or the stunt arena? This could free up some room for a new coaster back there. Or they could take out Batman and put in a new ride there. Kind of far fetched but its always possible.
