I want them to at least turn back on the lights 

Ive been thinking this all year. A rapids ride fits perfectly in the pine barrens area (even though there aren't that many rivers but still). In the end all they need to do is add more pine trees and maybe repaint the rocks and fix the water features

In addition to new theme elements, I'd like to see all of the theming and props that are no longer lit up, being visible again like the Tiki masks and the 2nd pumpkin in the middle of the ride.

Yeah I think even some small theming elements lit up would make a big difference. The sound effect as the ride drops also hasn't been playing recently

This is something some other parks are doing, and just to be able to use the season drink without having to remember/carry/protect your drink bottle would be a huge plus for many people. 

also, some parks this year and last rolled out a new yeti style souvenir cup that could be filled the same as the plastic one. (SFA and SFNE I know for sure) It would be nice to either choose a new paper cup like cedar fair or a premium drink cup. for single day cupholders they could be given a wristband, like they are now, but just be given a paper cup each time.

yeah any time I have come from the northbound lane in the morning or a crowded time (for example opening day of the drive thru safari in 2020) I had to wait so long just to merge in with the southbound side

That is the paradox theme parks have with guests bringing in electronic devices. On one hand they are another source of revenue, however, they also pose a great liability and hazzard. Personally I don't want to be burdened with carrying a device all around a park and risk losing or damaging it. 

That's why I thought Disney at least used to have parts of a great system. So they knew that new technology had to come, and when they switched to magic bands, they made it so if you didn't have a phone, you could still go to a kiosk and scan your band, and placed them all over the park. Your ticket and even credit card could be linked to this. Great adventure obviously won't bring something like this, but maybe they could invest in kiosks outside rides to buy a skip the line pass, that would just print a receipt. I believe sea world parks have these. And I know this year great adventure had that small cart to get skip the line passes, although that required an employee. Nobody wants to wait in the flash pass line to get skip the lines so they need to figure out a new way

I wonder if this $5 single use flash pass from Magic Mountain will show up at other parks?

Too bad it wouldn't be able to work unless you have your phone, which you can't bring on certain rides. although we didn't thunk mobile flash pass would come here and then they introduced those paper bands so who knows.

Nitro is still it's original coat of paint from 20 years ago. Bizarro was painted more recently, but it should get repainted and renamed again. 

This comment aged well

The parking lot really needs to be revamped and repaved. Having a nice, protected walkway running down the center to the front gate would make it safer and nicer. 

Hopefully next year with the new front gate we will see the old tram circle redone as it has no use now. Also the preferred parking being reconfigured this year does not look very good with the temporary booth and umbrella, and a landscaped permanent boundary parking area with a permanent booth would be a drastic improvement

This year at least, I have been able to, when mobile ordering, use both dining pass meals and a snack at once. When going to the register it is a 90 minute cool down.

I never bought the crazy straws.  I didn’t want to carry it around, just like I dislike carrying the refillable sports bottle today.  

Thats why they should do something similar to Dorney Park where they either let you choose a refillable cup for your drink plan or where you scan your card and get sa paper cup every time. I liked last year when you could just get a cup for free every time

I heard the wheels were replaced and it is running much faster now! I can't wait to try it out.

I rode it a few days ago. It's amazing how much better the ride is than when it first opened. Trimless and new wheels.

Add a raft lift onto the Tornado. 

Very good idea that could definitely increase throughput on that ride as well as not having to carry up that huge tube

I think they need more capacity with food and other park services, and some way to greater spread out the crowds so not everyone is at the slide complex's that are front and center
