GAcoaster Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 For day 11, we want to see the park bring back a train ride: It's a great FAMILY attraction, and even if its just a loop it would be a great addition. If it can also serve as transportation, even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Encircling Congo Rapids or extending out into the woods around Nitro would be an ideal location. Also, it could easily be themed as a Fright Fest attraction solving the hayride problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 And as a Christmas Train for Holiday in the Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxfan0810 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 A train certainly would be a very versatile attraction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 If I had to choose a route for the train it would have a station over near the Arena/Flume and run around the back of the lake over to a station near the Rapids overlook area. That way it could serve as transportation connecting the two ends of the park, run through scenic woodlands, and since it would be around the outside of the lake, you wouldn't have to worry about crossings where people run in front of the train trying to cross the path before the train does.

Stargazer Alchemist Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I know at Dorney and Hershey, just sitting back and riding the train is a great way to relax after walking around for a while. And with the size of SFGA, transportation would be even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsDevs4Lyf Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 This would be awesome. While it would not be quite the scale of the train in the Magic Kingdom in Disney, a train to serve as both a ride and transportaion in GA would be a welcome addition back to the park. And as was said above a train is so versatile that it could be incorporated easily into the special events currently at the park or which could eventually (Holiday in the Park someday) come to the park. Multiple stations would definately be great and thw two suggested sound like pretty good placement ideas. Also, if shows were added back into all fo the arenas, a train would serve as a great way to get accross the park from one to another, or just to escape when one side of the park seems particularly busy. And since the skyride shuts down in high or gusty winds, this would provide a more reliable form of transport in all weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
