Day 6- Add More Animal Attractions to the Theme Park

[GAcoaster]

Our wish for day 6-

 

[GAcoaster]

Animal attractions are a great addition to the park, and to further integrate the Safari with the theme park is a positive thing all around!

 

I'd love to see more SeaWorld style exhibits (penguins, stingrays, etc) added.

I don't think we need anymore animal attractions because we already have Wild Safari. But Sea World's main priority is to have many animals. Great Adventure's main priority is coasters and big rides. It wouldn't be needed that much but it would be a nice addition to the park.

^ I see your point, but there are many kinds of experiences that the Safari cannot provide. Think of how amazing it is to see the tigers run, swim, and jump right in front of you compared to seeing them sleeping from 40 yards away in the Safari. The same goes for the dolphins, who obviously could not offer much in the Safari. They should choose animal attractions that offer experiences that are different from what the Safari offers, and doing so will attract more families and round out the attraction offerings in the park.

I think animals are a good thing, but I wouldn't put them as a priority over, say, new flats or better theming.

To answer what pashacar was saying. We could use the Batman Stunt Arena for that. An expansion to WIld Safari also.

The idea is that the animals would ENHANCE the theme like they did when the Golden Kingdom was built. I'm not suggesting just drop cages around the park, more like creating a themed area (or enhancing an already existing one) with animals. Things like additional aquatic animals for the lakefront area, maybe monkeys in the area near the rapids, bears in Old Country.

 

SeaWorld does an amazing job of combining rides with the animal areas creating things like the queues for Manta, Kraken and Journey to Atlantis where the animals enhance the ride experience and are their own attraction for non-riders.

id like to see that happem, stingray cave near skull mtn and and return the tigers to golden kingdom, bring a bear exibit and revive the pinic grove/ autobahan area, good call on this one

I would like to see a rattlesnake exibit in Frontier Adventures. That would be something new and interesting. The tigers in the Golden Kingdom bored me to death. All they did was sit around.

[GAcoaster]

Rattlesnakes would move even less than the tigers, but it's a good idea. The old leather shop/relaxation station under the Runaway Mine Train exit stairs would be a great place for a snake exhibit...or tarantulas and scorpions.

The fact that Great Adventure's main priority is coasters is their problem. There is nothing there for older guests. Adults and seniors love animals and these are people Six Flags has ignored and suffered greatly because of it.

 

The Safari is great, but it's a separate park. You can not spend an entire day there and after going through it there is nothing for an adult to do.

[GAcoaster]

So, it looks like we'll be getting some new animal attractions with the new Safari Kids area.

If we really are getting animal shows with Safari Kids, I think we can count this as granted

Wish granted! Safari Discoveries opens this weekend!
